Chiang Mai rewards people who plan with a little more care than they would for a quick city break elsewhere. It is a major destination in Northern Thailand, but it is not a one-note place. A week in Nimman feels different from a temple morning near Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. A market stroll around Tha Phae Walking Street is a different outing again from a day in the mountains around Mon Jam or a nature-focused trip toward Doi Inthanon.
