Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Chiang Mai accepting of differences?

When we asked people about diversity in Chiang Mai and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...

"Chiang Mai is a diverse city with people from many different backgrounds and cultures. The city is known for its acceptance of different cultures and religions, and there is a strong sense of tolerance and respect for diversity among the people of Chiang Mai. People from all walks of life are welcomed and accepted in Chiang Mai, and the city is a great place to experience different cultures and lifestyles," remarked another expat who made the move to Chiang Mai, Thailand.

"There are several large groups of people and many other smaller ones. If I had to summarize the expat population, it would be as follows: 1. Japanese families who are located here and involved in the factories in Lamphun (a nearby province). 2. American and Korean missionaries who tend to congregate with themselves in the southern region of the city. 3. NGO workers who are often involved in refugee or orphanage work. 4. Families who move here because their work is flexible. 5. Retired expat men who get remarried and have started a "mixed" family," explained one expat living in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
