Chiang Mai is a great place for foreigners to come and learn about Thai culture and particularly Thai Buddhism. There is an openness and comfort with all types of travellers here that makes it easy for visitors to gain insights that elsewhere are perhaps more surrounded by barriers.

Some of the large and famous temples in the city center even have designated corners where foreigners can sit and chat with monks which acts as an exchange of local cultural knowledge for English language practice.
