Chiang Mai is the largest and most culturally significant city in Northern Thailand, and the capital of Chiang Mai Province. It is located at some 700 km north of Bangkok, and stands on the Ping river, a major tributary of the Chao Phraya river. Historically, the city lay on an important trade route and has now developed into the 2nd largest city in Thailand. The city has an impressive backdrop of mountains and is surrounded by lush countryside. It is much greener and quieter than Bangkok, which has led to many people moving to Chiang Hai from the capital. Places to see include ¨C over 300 temples, Chiang Mai City Arts & Cultural Center, Hilltribe Research Institute Museum, Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep (views of the city), the city moat, Chiangmai Zoo (with Giant Pandas), Maesa Elephant Camp, Kawila Boxing Stadium (Thai boxing centre), and Royal Flora Exposition.

A Travel and Leisure Magazine award winning hotel. The resort is not like a conventional hotel and is based on Lanna-style pavilions overlooking terraced rice fields and the mountains in the beautiful Mae Rim Valley, minutes from the artistic and cultural heritage of Chiang Mai. Guests can experience first class Thai cuisine in either the Sala Mae Rim, or Terraces restaurant followed up with cocktails in the Elephant Bar.
The name Dhara Dhevi comes from Sanskrit words meaning Star Goddess, an embodiment of romance, mystique, and legendary beauty. It is these qualities that have been integral in the ethos of this award-winning hotel. To maximise seclusion for guests the hotel uses 20 different accommodation types spread across 60 acres of gardens and ponds. Guests will marvel at the fusions of palace architecture, teak pavillions, colonial style mansions, and luxury villas designed on traditional Thai rice barns.
With a population of over 170,000, Chiang Mai is Thailand's second-largest city after Bangkok. Located on a plain surrounded by mountains, surrounded by lush countryside, and with a cosmopolitan air and a significant expat population, it is much greener and quieter than the capital, factors which have led many from Bangkok to settle permanently in this "Rose of the North".
Chiang Mai International Airport is the gateway to northern Thailand renowned for its breathtaking natural attractions and deep-rooted cultural traditions.
