Karma Chang

Chiang Mai is known as Thailand’s spiritual heartland, a mountainous region in the country’s north dotted with ancient Buddhist temples. Redolent with diverse natural beauty, Chiang Mai’s culture, food and landscape are unlike anything else found in Thailand. The city was founded in 1296, and was the capital of the independent Lanna Kingdom until 1558. Ancient historical remains of walls and moats can still be found in the old town centre area.

John Spence, founder and chairman of Karma Group, said: “You can really get a sense of Thailand’s ancient cultural history in the region surrounding Chiang Mai.

“Karma Chang pays homage to this rich heritage and is the ideal launchpad to explore this amazing city and surrounds. You haven’t lived until you sample some of the famous Chiang Mai street food!”

Chiang Mai has recently been recognised by Condé Nast Traveller’s readers, who voted Chiang Mai among the Top 20 Small Cities in the World in its 31st annual Readers’ Choice Awards.
