 Old Chiang Mai Cafe, Chiang Mai |
Busy enough in its own right, the old capital of northern Thailand remains deservedly popular with visitors in search of a more manageable metropolis than Bangkok. Tha Pae Road links the Ping River with the moat encircling the old city wall and is lined with several historic Wats or temples, plus a number of smart cafes and antique dealerships, often housed in traditional timber shopfronts or in colonial-style stucco villas. There is even a selection of surprisingly good bookstores.
