Chiang Mai Train Station Information

Where is Chiang Mai Train Station?  

800 year old Chiang Mai was isolated until the 1920's, tucked away in the Himalayan Mountains foothills, allowing the city to keep its distinctive charm. Within the remains of the city walls, there are an amazing 30+ ancient temples, designed in a mix of Sri Lankan, Lanna Thai and Burmese styles. There are wonderful wood carvings, gilded umbrellas, Naga staircases, angelic and leonine guardians, and pagodas laced with gold filigree. 

Surrounded by lush countryside and mountains, Chiang Mai is much greener and quieter than Bangkok. This "Rose of the North" has a cosmopolitan air, due, in part, by the popularity of Chiang Mai with expats.
