Chiang Mai (also known as the Rose of the North) is the second largest city of Thailand, the most culturally significant in the north of Thailand and the capital of the province of Chiang Mai. It is located 800 kilometers north of Bangkok, among the highest mountains in the country.
In recent years, Chiang Mai has become a city more modern. The city offers many attractions for the thousands of foreign visitors who come to Chiang Mai every year. The historic strength of Chiang Mai derives from its important strategic location near a southern branch of the ancient Silk Road, and long before the modern influx of foreign visitors. The city has served as a major center for its handicrafts, umbrellas, jewelry (particularly silver) and woodcarvings.
Chiang Mai is formally become a part of Siam in 1774, when King Taksin defeated to the Burmese. Chiang Mai has identified both culturally and economically, to gradually become the official capital of northern Thailand.
Wat Chiang Man is the oldest temple in Chiang Mai. King Mengrai lived in the temple while overseeing the construction of the city. This temple houses two very important and venerated images of Buddha, Phra Sila (a marble Buddha) and Phra Satang Man (a crystal Buddha).
