There are lots of reasons for this popularity. For one Chiang Mai is a smaller and more relaxed city than Bangkok with a city centre population of around 131,000 compared to 8.2 million in Bangkok. Chiang Mai is also a quieter city without the industry and commerce of the capital. Chiang Mai is also very cheap, with great value for money in terms of hotels, restaurants and bars. Chiang Mai also has a very long history having been established as the capital city of the ancient kingdom of Lanna in 1296."}, {"text_idx": "#000118", "text": "Bangkok to Chiang Mai Bus"}]
