Chiang Mai is in cool Northern Thailand and is situated among the highest mountains in the country. The altitude is the main reason why Chiang Mai is dubbed as the Summer Capital of Thailand. Seasoned travelers to Thailand know that Chiang Mai is special as the city, though modern in most ways, has kept its culture intact. It is the country’s most culturally significant city in Northern Thailand.
Cool weather is one of the contributing factors why Chiang Mai has an abundance of verdant hills and fields of beautiful and colorful flowers. The city is the place to be in observance of Songkran, the Flower Festival that lasts for three days held every first weekend of February.Flowers are in bloom during this cool season. The Songkran is all about a wonderful display of blooms and traditional dances as performed by locals.
Chiang Mai is an ideal place to visit. Tourists will feel right at home as English is spoken in hotels and majority of restaurants though the locals traditionally speak in Kham Muang or Lanna. Chiang Mai is not lacking in facilities and services catering to tourism. In fact come December 2012, a premiere department store Thailand will open its doors to both the locals and tourists.
Promenada Resort Mall Chiang Mai will adhere to the concept of “more than just shopping”. The mall will be adapting a green lifestyle concept transcending not only to the products and services available in the mall but foremost, to the structure’s architectural style. The complex’s design is integrated with open spaces of green areas with beautiful flora where shoppers can sit and relax in between shopping jaunts. Water features interspersed at the outdoor garden will truly be a relaxing view. A man-made creek cuts across the complex and can be viewed from the 3 levels of the complex.
The complex is under construction now. It promises a new concept in shopping, dining and entertainment with its unique open-air resort style shopping combined with a modern multi-level air-conditioned mall. Anchored by Rimping Supermarket, quality of products and services is assured.
