Chiang Mai gets creative

Chiang Mai is a cultural haven with many traditional temples and places of religious significance and reverence. However, looking closely the city unravels a charming modern edge to it with the influx of modern day artists who are attracted by the amazing culture from which they draw inspiration and unique creative energy. A lot of modern day artwork is produced with the underlying Buddhist influences touching on Thai tradition that seems highly acceptable to the noble Lanna Kingdom, the historical roots of Northern Thailand.

There is also another practical scope to this creativity being a campaign in Chiang Mai to tag the city with a UNESCO Creative City designation. The success of this campaign will prove beneficial in the long run paving way for great pieces of modern artwork to get to the hands of a wider clientele. Chiang Mai was hidden from the rest of the world before but now revealed through the social networks letting the world know about the priced artwork it possesses. Among the modern accommodations preserving this traditional artwork lies Anantara Chiang Mai resort & Spa, an exotic Chiang Mai resort.
