Photography Tour in Chiang Mai

The best photos of Chiang Mai aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

Chiang Mai is northern Thailand's cultural capital, a moated old city of golden temples, night markets, and quiet lanes where the pace of life slows and the creative spirit thrives.
