Mantra of Chiang Mai.mpg

A vibrant destination in its own right, Chiang Mai beckons you to explore its Old World charm and its many attractions in conjunction with the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union's 47th Sports Group Conference and Associated Meetings, 7-9 June 2011

Chiang Mai, Thailand's northern hub, is situated on an elevated plain, surrounded by mountains and a lush countryside. Although it's 715 years old and is dotted with ancient Buddhist temples,

The original city of Chiang Mai is still defined by a square perimeter wall surrounded by a moat. Within these walls are over 30 temples which feature Burmese, Sri Lankan and Lanna Thai architectural styles, and are decorated with ornate wood carvings, Naga staircases, guardians, gilded umbrellas and pagodas laced with gold filigree.
