Anyway, Chiang Mai, which means "new city" because it replaced the older Chiang Rai as capital of the old kingdom of Lanna, is actually a sprawling, polluted metropolis of some 1.5 million people. If you're looking for some "Shanti" time, it's actually not the most conducive place for it. So instead, we've booked into a country resort in the hills above the city. Maggie and I are fully committed to doing nothing strenuous for the next 48 hours, so we were delighted to find this oasis out at the aptly named hamlet of Ban Pong.
