Welcome to Chiang Mai Pui Thai Tour

              Chiang Mai

                  In recent years Chiang Mai has become an increasingly modern city, although it lacks
             the cosmopolitan gloss of Bangkok. It has many attractions for the thousands of foreign
             visitors who come to the city each year. Chiang Mai's historic strength derived from its
             important strategic location on an ancient trade route, and long before the modern influence
             of foreign visitors the city served as an important centre for handcrafted goods, umbrellas,
             jewellery (particularly silver) and woodcarving.

                 While officially the city (thesaban nakhon) of Chiang Mai only covers most part of the              Mueang Chiang Mai district with a population of 150,000, the urban sprawl of the city
             extends into several neighboring districts. This Chiang Mai Metropolitan Area has
             a population of nearly 700,000 people, nearly half of the whole Chiang Mai Province.
