Chiang Mai was founded about seven hundred years ago. The city is surrounded by a moat and contains many beautiful wat temples which acts as a counter-balance to the modern development as it provides for tranquility and history. There are countless of first class hotels and restaurants, theatres and cinemas, sports complexes and golf courses, shopping malls and hypermarkets, hospitals and condominiums.
This is what globalisation brings about, every place becomes of a higher quality and places only strive to become top notch tourism destinations.
