DirectRooms.com – 2010 Community Independence Day in Chiang Mai

DirectRooms.com can announce that the 2010 Community Independence Day in Chiang Mai will take place on the 4th July 2010.

Although this is a celebration of the United States' day of independence, the city of Chiang Mai goes to great lengths to provide a unique celebration on this historic date.

Chiang Mai is considered the most important city in northern Thailand and is the capital of the Chiang Mai province. It is located approximately 700 kilometres from Bangkok and sits on the Ping River, under the shadows of some of the highest mountains in the country.

Much like Bangkok, this city is made up of some spectacular architecture. Among the highlights are the Wat Chiang Man – the city's oldest Buddhist temple - as well as the 13th century Wat Chiang Man temple. Also not to be missed are the ruins of the city's defensive wall.

If you are visiting Thailand around the 4th July, this will be a fantastic opportunity to explore the north of the country, while taking in all the celebrations in Chiang Mai.

When it comes to choosing a hotel Chiang Mai boasts a wide variety of choice to meet anyone's requirements or budget. There are some truly unique locations for accommodation in the city and you can be certain that you will enjoy plenty of comfort and relaxation during your stay.

Lek Boonlert, Head of Marketing at Directrooms.com, commented that "the city of Chiang Mai can offer an alternative to Bangkok and many travellers come to explore its unrivalled history and attractions."
