called
"Rose in the north"
and prospered. The formal

about 1.6 million people. Large
majority is Thai and coexists
with the hill tribe
( About 13% is Mon,Yao,
rough, riss, aka, Karens, Myen
and Rawa ).
In the west, there is
the highest mountain in thailand,
Doi Inthanon (above sea level
2590m).
Pomiculture have
developed widely because around
mountains bring many water there.
Therefore, the
kingdom was born at the end of 13th
century was named
"Runner (meaning
rice field of one million)".
Chiang Mai became the
appearance of an square city (About
one was about 1500m) which had
rampart and moat around
there in the "Runner Kingdom
Age". Now the rampart is
left most part,
"TARPAE GATE"
and little remain inside moat.
Many Japanese think
no problem to live in Chiang Mai
because the temperature and
humidity lower
than Bangkok, It is paid
attention as the long stay resort
that Japanese senior generations
spend
the new life in recent
years.
The golf courses and
the Japanese reaustrants are
arranged enough.Now it is not
unusual to see
Japanese that enjoys
the long life of Thailand not
