Chiang Dao is a town and sub-district within Chiang Dao District in Chiang Mai Province. Historically, Chiang Dao was a minor city-state (mueang) in the northern Thai Lan Na Kingdom. Following the Thesaphiban administrative reforms at the end of the 19th century, it was designated as a district of Chiang Mai Province. [Source: Wikipedia]
Chiang Dao is situated above the Menam Ping Gorge on the lush slopes of Doi Chiang Dao Mountain. The name means "City of Stars" and originates from its former name Piang Dao, or "(at the) level of the stars." True to its name, limestone peaks rising to 2,186 m make Chiang Dao a stunning area. It is the third-highest mountain in Thailand. The village is a peaceful, picturesque place with a charming northern Thai atmosphere. It lies within Chiang Dao National Park. Chiang Dao is shrouded in mist for most of the year, and the climate remains cool during winter and the rainy season. [Source: Wikitravel]
