Chiang Mai is very popular...
Chiang Mai is very popular city in the north. From Chiang Mai, I proceeded on to Mae Hong Son, about 30 minute plane ride. It is a smaller town which I found more relaxing. Here I stayed at the Fern Resort, a few km outside of town. It is next to rice paddies and a National Park. About $10/night for a quaint bungalow with porch, bathroom and fan. Nice cool pool and trails to National Park also.
