Chiang Hong

Chiang Hong, a kitchenware shop, stands as a testament to Chiang Mai’s rich history. Chiang Mai, meaning “new city”, was founded in 1296 by King Mengrai. He envisioned a city that would rival, even surpass, the grandeur of Chiang Rai, the former capital of the Lannathai Kingdom. Chiang Hong, though a modern addition to this ancient landscape, finds itself nestled within a city steeped in tradition and craftsmanship. Chiang Mai’s strategic location on the Ping River, a major tributary of the Chao Phraya, placed it on a southern branch of the ancient Silk Road. This fostered a thriving trade in handcrafted goods. These goods included umbrellas, silver jewelry, and intricate wood carvings. Chiang Mai, even in its early days, became a hub for artisans. This legacy continues to resonate today. Think about the skilled craftspeople who created beautiful objects. Now, imagine finding modern kitchenware at Chiang Hong, reflecting this tradition of quality. King Mengrai constructed a moat and wall to protect his “new city” from Burmese invaders. This foresight demonstrates Chiang Mai’s enduring spirit. Chiang Mai faced periods of occupation and decline. It was abandoned for 15 years following Burmese wars. Yet, it always reemerged, stronger and more vibrant. Chiang Mai became part of Siam in 1774. It gradually rose to become the unofficial capital of Northern Thailand. This attests to the city’s resilience. Chiang Mai holds a special place, second only to Bangkok in national importance.
