	Chiang Mai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chiang Mai's historic strength derived from its important strategic location near a southern branch of the ancient Silk Road, and long before the modern influx of foreign visitors the city served as an important centre for handcrafted goods, umbrellas, jewellery (particularly silver) and woodcarving.
		Chiang Mai formally became part of Siam in 1774, when the Thai King Taksin captured the city from the Burmese.
		Chiang Mai rose in both cultural, trading and economic terms to gradually adopt its current status as the unofficial capital of the north of Thailand, second only in national importance to Bangkok.
