Chiang Mai - In The Know

About Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai offers a completely different side of Thailand, with forested mountains, historic streets, colourful markets and a slower pace of life than the country’s coastal resorts. The city is known for its beautiful temples, traditional northern Thai culture and excellent food scene. Muslim travellers will find a growing choice of halal restaurants, particularly around the city centre and areas with established Muslim communities, along with mosques and prayer facilities.

A halal-friendly holiday in Chiang Mai is ideal for travellers who enjoy culture, nature and exploring somewhere with a strong local identity. Wander through the Old City, visit bustling night markets, head into the surrounding mountains or spend a day discovering nearby villages and countryside. There are plenty of opportunities to try halal Thai dishes, Indian food and other Asian specialities. With its relaxed atmosphere, fascinating culture and beautiful surroundings, Chiang Mai is a rewarding addition to any Thailand holiday.
