    The city walls are imposing and show how big the city was back then. About 750 years ago. Within the old city walls you can easily walk 10 km. If you take a look over the city walls, you can see the modern world everywhere. Cell towers everywhere. Thailand has 5G coverage almost everywhere. Of course that's convenient. And (02/2023) unlimited internet costs only around €9 per month.

    The **Chiang Mai City Wall** is a fascinating historical structure that reflects the city's rich history and culture. Here are some interesting details about this impressive fortification:

    - **History**: The city wall was originally built in the **13th century** when Chiang Mai was founded, but its current form dates back to the turn of the **18th and 19th centuries** when the walls were reinforced after the Burmese left.

    - **Architecture**: The wall is built of **bricks** and **earth** and stretches for about **2.5 kilometers**. It was once part of a comprehensive defense system that protected the city from attack.
