Chiang Mai Foreign Cemetery

Historic cemetery recording the lives of foreign residents, missionaries, and traders in Chiang Mai.

Chiang Mai Foreign Cemetery is a quiet historical site that records a lesser-known side of the city's past: missionaries, traders, consuls, and other foreign residents who lived and died in northern Thailand. The inscriptions make the cemetery feel like an outdoor archive.

It is a short, reflective stop rather than a major attraction. Visitors interested in social history will get the most from reading the markers and considering how Chiang Mai connected to wider regional networks.
