King Mengrai built the new city of Chiang Mai on the site where he had established a Môn settlement. He called Chiang Mai the Lan Na kingdom capital in replacement of Chiang Rai. During the reigns of Ku Na and Tilok, Chiang Mai became one of the biggest centers for Theravada Buddhism. Most of the wats inside the moat which was the old city are the originals built in these times. Today, most visitors come not only for Chiang Mai’s temples, but also for the handicrafts and treks in the nearby mountains.
