Bangkok--17 Jan--TQPR
Come and join the festivities this weekend at the 2018 Chiang Mai International Jazz Festival
Chiang Mai will be hosting its 8th International Jazz Festival this weekend, featuring a line-up of talented local jazz performers and internationally famed artists. Under the theme "Let's Dance The Night Away", tantalising performances will be given throughout the weekend, giving even more reasons for travellers to visit what many consider to be the home of Thailand's greatest cultural treasures.
With an annual inbound growth of 70% year-over-year, Chiang Mai has proven to be not only a top destination for travellers to Thailand, but also immensely popular among Thai travellers, as they look to learn more about their own country and culture in the North of Thailand! In 2017, Chiang Mai was among the top city destinations for Thai travellers, among traditional favourites like Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Taipei and Hong Kong.
