A mighty wall and a wide moat still surround large areas of the old town of Chiang Mai. Today, the moat that was once used to defend the city adds to the wonderful atmosphere of this historic town and it is believed that around ninety thousand men worked on the city's massive wall at the end of the 13th century. The beauty of Chiang Mai can be seen in numerous of its temple sites such as the Wat Doi Suthep Temple, the most important sanctuary in northern Thailand. Just a few steps from the famous tourist shopping mile of San Khampaeng Road is one of the most beautiful temples in Chiang Mai. The true gem of the Wat Buakkhrok Luang is the magnificently furnished Viharn, the temple's assembly room that is constructed of teak. The city's centuries old sanctuaries testify to the impressive cultural wealth of Chiang Mai and highlight the unique artistic value of this beautiful and charming city that is quite rightly also known as 'The Pearl of the North'.

Sukhothai, 'Dawn Of Happiness', this, the name of the first capital of Thailand, once marked the beginning of a new epoch. During the course of its one hundred and twenty year flowering period several of the city's impressive buildings were created such as the magnificent Wat Mahathat Temple. Beyond the old city walls is the fascinating Wat Si Chum Temple which owes its national fame to the huge seated Buddha sculpture of Phra Atchana that is more than eleven metres high and is one of the largest and most imposing Buddha statues in Thailand. Picturesque yet almost sad the century old ruins seem to be reflected within the water of the nearby moats, canals and ponds yearning for a bygone time when the area was full of buildings that in turn were full of life. But despite its continuing decay Sukhothai is still a truly magical experience.
