The city was founded in 1296 and was built with a large surrounding wall and a moat which acted as a defence against the threat of attacks from neighbouring Burma. Over the years Chiang Mai has become increasingly more important through its trade levels and is now often considered to be the unofficial capital of northern Thailand after Bangkok.

The area is also full of other historic monuments such as the 14th century temple Wat Suan Dok.
