Chiang Mai, Thailand’s second-largest city, has a reputation for craftsmanship, artistry, hospitality, and of course, its slowed-down, relaxed pace of life. Food is at the center of Thai culture, so it’s no surprise that Chiang Mai, with its emphasis on quality crafts, is the country’s most celebrated foodie destination.

Thailand’s capital and largest city, Bangkok, is a giant playground of infinite scale. But for someone who’s never been to the most-visited city in the world before, it can be a lot to take in.
