Fast Fact: Did you know? Around 75% of boutique hotels in Chiang Mai Old Town, like Tamarind Village, occupy beautifully restored Lanna-style buildings, preserving the region's history.
Local Hack: Request a "Sai Oua" breakfast-many local hotels will offer this delicious Northern Thai sausage, giving you a taste of local flavors right at your stay.
