 Market in San Kamphaeng by LotusV8
San Kamphaeng is more known for its silk and cotton, I also found a lot of woodcarvings here, Itīs dirtcheap.

This was quite a nice place to visit. We got to see how artistically skilled the thai painters were as they transferred their inspirations onto paper umbrellas in different shapes and sizes. We also found out the different steps to creating a paper umbrella. Was very tempted to buy this umbrella with a Chinese dragon design on it but decided not to after I thought it was quite hard to pack it into my bags! Leave a Comment

Famous for its cool climate all year round, visitors can explore the Royal Angkhang Station Project and visit hill tribe villages to learn more about their daily life. To get there, take Highway No. 107 (Chiang Mai-Fang), turn left at an intersection around Km. 137 (Mae Kha Market) and proceed for another 25 kilometers to Doi Ang Khang. As the route is filled with steep s-curves, an experienced driver and vehicles in good condition is required. The local truck (song taew) from Mae Kha Market offers chartered service to the mountain.

In 1468, the Emerald Buddha was installed in the eastern niche. In 1545, the upper 30 m of the structure collapsed after an earthquake, and shortly thereafter, in 1551, the Emerald Buddha was moved to Luang Prabang.
The city pillar was built when the founder of Chiang Mai, King Meng Rai, ruled the city in 1296. Located in front of Wat Chedi Luang Leave a Comment Address: Chiang Mai CityDirections: At Klangwieng Junction.

 Night Market Gate by Pat&ZoAnn
As the day ends, vendors set up their tables and booths along the road, and some of the side roads, and when night falls, the market is in full swing.
We saw lots of touristy items for sale, clothing, CD's, running shoes, etc. We didn't buy anything ourselves, but our friend Rose bought a nice pair of pants at a reasonable price. Leave a Comment Address: Chang Khlan RoadDirections: On the east side of the city, near the river

 Fawn Tee umbrella dance by Pat&ZoAnn
This converted movie theatre is used for a cultural dinner/showcase. Although it is quite touristy, it gives you a flavour of Northern Thailand culture. Dinner was pretty good, drinks were very expensive. Leave a Comment

The Chiang Mai Zoo is quite unique in that its exhibits are carved out of the foothills of Doi Suthep. This creates a more natural feel for zoo and allows for some great views, but also makes walking around somewhat strenuous. They do offer a car service anywhere within the zoo for 20 baht/ride.
The exhibits themselves contain a wide variety of exotic animals, including an Indian Rhinocerous and Orangutans, though they leave a little to be desired in terms of cleanliness and creativity.
The main draw is the panda exhibit: Lin-Hui and Chuang-Chuang first moved into their new multi-million dollar air conditioned enclosure in 2003. Although there weren't many people when we were there in July, the exhibit is usually jam packed, so to avoid the crowds it's advisable that you arrive early.
Hours: Zoo open from 08:00 to 18:00
Panda exhibit open at 09:00 and closes a little earlier.
Transportation: Northwest of town, any red songthaew (pick-up taxi) can take you there and for about 20 baht each way. Tuk-Tuks are a little more.
Cost: 30 baht to enter the zoo, plus 100 baht to enter the panda exhibit
Bottom-line: A decent zoo in a very unique setting, can make for a nice half-day visit if you don't mind hiking a bit. Plus, the opportunity to see a giant panda is extremely rare; only 160 of them currently live in captivity.
