Sister cities of a Province ???

A list of sistercities was added some years ago. But is it really true that the province of Chiang Mai has sister cities?

Attractions Doi Suthep-Doi Pui National Park (อุทยานแห่งชาติดอยสุเทพ-ปุย) The park consists of forests and mountain ranges. Major mountains include Doi Suthep, Doi Buak Ha, and Doi Pui. This is a main source of tributaries and streams in Chiang Mai. Sacred places, religious attractions and historical sites are located in the park complex. Walking Street Chiang Mai municipality has organized, since 2006, the Chiang Mai Sunday Evening Walking Street at the Three Kings Monument Courtyard. It has turned into a thriving Sunday evening market which now encompasses nearly the whole of Rachadamnoen road (the main road of the old city), many of its side streets and the square in front of Tha Phae Gate. It is known for its locally made handicrafts. In addition, Chiang Mai also organises a Saturday Evening Walking Street on Woa Lai Road which runs from Chiang Mai Gate, on the south side of the old city, towards the airport. Chiang Mai Zoo (สวนสัตว์เชียงใหม่) is located next to Huai Kaeo Arboretum. It is a large zoo, which occupies the lower forested slopes of Doi Suthep Mountain. The zoo contains more than 200 types of Asian and African mammals and birds. Doi Inthanon National Park (อุทยานแห่งชาติดอยอินทนนท์): at 2,565 m, Doi Inthanon is Thailand's highest mountain and one of the coolest peaks. Besides the actual mountain itself, there are a variety of other attractive locations such as Mae Ya, Wachirathan and Siriphum waterfalls and Bori Chinda Cave. Pang Chang Mae Sa: The elephant shows are a demonstration of the elephants' abilities in log-hauling. After the end of the performance, visitors are able to have a go at riding an elephant. Wat Phra Singh (วัดพระสิงห์วรวิหาร), houses the revered Phra Phuttha Sihing Buddha (พระพุทธสิหิงค์) image cast in Subduing Mara. The Buddha image is now enshrined in Viharn Lai Kham. The temple compound includes the lovely Viharn Lai Kham featuring exquisite woodcarvings and northern-style murals paintings, a magnificent scriptural repository with striking bas relief, and a circular stupa (in Lankan bell shape). Mae Sa Waterfall (น้ำตกแม่สา) The 8-tiered waterfall in Amphoe Mae Rim occupies a natural setting among towering trees. Night Bazaar: Every evening the center of the provincial city holds one of the provinces biggest markets, selling a huge variety of goods to tourists, both foreign and Thai. The market is 3 blocks long and is surrounded by restaurants, cafes and travel agents. Chiang Mai Night Safari: The world's third nocturnal zoo and is a government nature theme park which was built to promote Chiang Mai tourism. Entertainment/Activities Elephant Show: The show begins with elephants bathing to cool themselves then mahouts would place a log harness on their backs. Finally, elephants will demonstrate their forestry skills. Some of the elephant training centers are: Pang Chang Mae Taeng (ปางช้างแม่แตง) Chiang Dao Elephant Training Centre (ศูนย์ฝึกช้างเชียงดาว) Pang Chang Mae Sa (ปางช้างแม่สา) Pang Chang Pong Yaeng (ปางช้างโป่งแยง) Mountain Biking: Mountain biking is done on several routes in Chiang Mai including around the old city moat. Homestay at Ban Mae Kampong: The village is in a mountainous area with jungle surroundings. Nearby attractions include waterfalls, a cotton weaving village and the Huai Hong Khrai Royal Agricultural Station. Hilltribes Trekking: Of particular interest to most are the six major hilltribes which inhabit the northern highlands. The largest group is Karen, followed by the Meo, Lahu, Yao, Akha and Lisu. They share animist beliefs and honour numerous forest and guardian spirits. Each tribe has distinctive ceremonial attire, courtship rituals, games, dances, agricultural customs, languages or dialects, aesthetic values, and hygienic habits. Bamboo Rafting-Whitewater Rafting: Bamboo rafting along the Mae Taeng River (ล่องแพลำน้ำแม่แตง) Cruising the Ping River: Maenam Ping is the main river in Chiang Mai. While cruising, people can witness the atmosphere of Chiang Mai, as well as the local lifestyle on both sides of the Ping River. Artificial Rock Climbing: Rock climbing (ไต่หน้าผาจำลอง) can be practised at the Peak Rock Climbing Plaza. Golf Courses: There are many courses in the province. Spas: Spa treatments in Chiang Mai includes both traditional remedies and healing arts alongside modern techniques. This treatment, in terms of service available, has escalated over the past few years and there are now innumerable locations offering spa service, often including a Jacuzzi and steam bath. Shopping: Besides the shopping malls and department stores, there are a variety of local markets including the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar in downtown Chiang Mai.

The ideal course of action would of course be to re-write the content in prose form, giving a broad overview and briefly covering the more notable attractions.--Paul_012 (talk) 09:05, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Copyvio in section Symbols?

The whole section Symbols consists of text that is exactly equal to text at this website. --FredTC (talk) 06:45, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Appears more likely that the PAO website is plagiarising Wikipedia. --Paul_012 (talk) 12:39, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

OK, but if that is the case, is the ref then valid? --FredTC (talk) 12:58, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

No, it should be replaced. I'd suggest a better Thai source, but with such general facts the same text pops up everywhere and it's hard to say who's copying from whom. This page from the Royal Society could probably do it (though it doesn't mention the 1477 date).[1] --Paul_012 (talk) 13:34, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress
