Most visitors to Chiang Mai head straight to the temples and to the surrounding mountains to see the hill tribes. The culture in Northern Thailand may be defined by the excellent trekking and historic sites, but one of the greatest attractions for a growing number of people is the excellent shopping at the Baan Tawai craft centre located just to the south of the city.

The Chao Wang Namprig has beautifully carved vegeytables, side by side, to take with.

People tend to overlook the many other herbs and spices that combine to give Thai food its range of delicacy. It is the very delicate interplay of herbs and spices that makes Thai food so well-loved among all peoples of the world.
