Hotel Description
Chiang Mai Gate Hotel was founded to be a place that proudly expresses a love of Chiang Mai, its 700-year history and as well as its perfect blend of pristine natural resources, rich traditional heritage, unique culture, modern amenities and technology.
The Hotel is situated in the prime location of Chiang Mai - the Wua Lai Community, an old silverware manufacturing community where the fascinating lifestyle and activities of the locals can be discovered and experienced. Here you can find affordable ancient and modern silverware that come in various decorative designs.
There are three important temples which were at the centre of the local peoples' spiritual needs. Wat Sri Suphan, joined by Wat Tat Kam and Wat Nantaram have developed a community awareness program which is the rejuvenation of the silver crafting industry of the Wua Lai Community.
Many of the traditional art can also be easily found in thse three temples, since the traditional art and local knowledge were perpetuated from generation to generation up until nowadays through faith the residents have for the temples. The professional artisans of various art types in the community usually dedicated their work to the local temples so as to promote local knowledge, produce art to contribute to Lanna, develop cultural tourist attractions, and as merit making.
