Chiang Mai (meaning “new city” in Thai) was founded in 1296 as the new capital of Lan Na, succeeding the former capital, Chiang Rai. The city’s location on the Ping River (a major tributary of the Chao Phraya River) and its proximity to major trading routes contributed to its historic importance.
Situated at the confluence of three great rivers, the ‘four arms’ of the Mekong, Tonle Sap and Bassac, form right in front of the Royal Palace.
Essaouira is absolutely stunning! It sits along the coast about 200 km west of Marrakech. It is home to incredible beaches and a charming port area that easily makes it one of the most popular cities in Morocco.
Caught in a love affair with Marrakech’s chaos and calm; its bustling markets, tranquil gardens, and the enchanting call to prayer at sunset. Balance in the midst of chaos.
