On 2 December 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved from Chiang Mai Province to Chiang Mai province. The result of the discussion was moved.

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?

17. Doi Tao ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doi_Tao_District

09. Fang ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fang_District

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.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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

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)[reply]
