Chiang
Mai is a province situated in the North of Thailand. Chiang Mai
has the many wonderful natural tourist places and charming culture
to attract tourist.
Topography:
A large part (69.31 %) of Chiang Mai's land is
covered by mountains and forests. These generally run in a north-south
pattern through the province and give birth to several streams
and tributaries (such as the Mae Jam, Mae Ngud, and Mae Klang)
which in turn feed important rivers and irrigation canals (such
as the Muang and Faay) which provide the water necessary to Chiang
Mai's agriculture. Chiang Mai's largest and most important river
is the Ping, which originates in the mountains of Chiang Dao and
flows southward for 540 kilometers (337.5 miles). It is along
the banks of this river that Chiang Mai's flat, fertile valley
area lies.
Chiang Mai is also home to Inthanon Mountain, which stands
2,575 meters (8,448 feet) above sea level and is Thailand's highest
mountain.
