Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai is the biggest city in northern Thailand and the second biggest city in Thailand. The city's name is Thai for "new city" because it replaced Chiang Rai, meaning "old city", as the capital of the Lan Na Kingdom. It is the capital of Chiang Mai Province, the second-biggest province of Thailand. Neighboring provinces are (from northeast to northwest) Chiang Rai, Lampang, Lamphun, Tak, and Mae Hong Son. In the north it is next to Shan State of Myanmar.

Nam tok huai kaeo (Thai script: น้ำตกห้วยแก้ว, lit. "Crystal Creek Waterfall") lies just beyond the outskirts of the city of Chiang Mai at the foot of Doi Suthep. The waterfall could be called Chiang Mai's city park. The waterfall consists of a series of smaller falls and pools. This image was made during the rainy season at the middle reaches of the waterfall.
