In a nutshell
If Bangkok is all that you will experience I feel sorry for you...go to Chiang Mai!
23 Reviews I came here, wherever it was, as part of a long-necked tribe daytrip I did from Chiang Mai. We arrived after visiting an orchid farm and riding elephant at the Chok Chai Elephant Camp but things just seemed to be very touristy with lots of souvenir stalls selling tribal arts and crafts and jewellery...
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep - Buddhist Temple
65 Reviews This hill top Temple is not only popular with the foreign tourists but also the locals. Many of the locals used to pay homage to the Buddha of this wat, they have strong believed that their prayers will always answered. For the foreign tourists, there are others attractive places in this route....
59 Reviews Some people limit themselves just to watch the performance of the trained elephants. I think it's wrong. This ride was different of all the other that I made with animals, due to a well chosen trail, allowing us to understand how does the animal deal with slopes, mud, and all the obstacles that...
25 Reviews One of the highlights of our visit to Chiang Mai was our 2 day Thai massage course with miss Wanna . We actually found her through virtual tourist. We highly recommend her to everybody that wants to have a great thai massage course. We only folowed a 2 days massage course , but already feel like...
34 Reviews My wife and I had a great experience at a cooking school in Chiang Mai. They have local pick up at your hotel. We found too that it was better for us to deal directly with the owners of the places than with a ticket agent since they will send you where they will get the greatest % of what you pay....
9 Reviews It’s an experience that anyone must live. The food is good, as almost everywhere in Thailand, but distributed in small dishes, allowing you to taste everything. The greatest point, however, is the show, with the delicate Thai dances performed close to you, as you are eating. And if you saw my...
14 Reviews I come here not by chance but my passion for good food lead me to this street restaurant. When I passed by I saw the huge wok fire when the cook preparing the dishes I knew that I have come to the right place for diner. No doubt, true to my instinct and feeling. The surrounding has nothing special...
31 Reviews The Lost Hut is the Best Bar in Chiang Mai! Hands down! The staff and owners were really friendly and also gave us a bunch of info about some motorcycle touring. Also the prices were good, beers were cold and the wide mix of music was awesome. Not the typical trendy stuff you usually here in bars....
23 Reviews The Night Bazaar is a huge market covering a long outdoor stretch of Chang Khlan Road between Tha Phae Road and Si Donchai Road, with the centre of the maelstrom in the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar Building, three storeys of shopping under a Thai temple-style roof. The bazaar area straddles both sides of...
20 Reviews Many people miss out on a wonderful experience by flying to Chiang Mai from Bangkok. The best choice is the overnight train, which is clean, safe, comfortable and fun. If you are a couple or a family with even numbered members I recommend the 1st class cabin. If you are traveling alone and/or don’t...
37 Reviews Pai is a beautiful small town nestled in a valley approximately 3 hours or 132 km northwest of Chiangers. It is a popular destination for those who want to enjoy the chilled atmosphere in more ways than one ... the high altitude makes it quite chilly at nights, esp November through February, and it...

6 Reviews We went on a tour to the temple and the driver very quietly offered his services to us as 'you only pay for the gasoline' He charged us 300 baht to go to visit the craft village. But we went to a Gem factory, Umbrella factory, Wooden furniture factory by then we had had enough but he wanted us to...
12 Reviews I came here as part of a long-necked tribe daytrip I did from Chiang Mai. We first rode on elephants for about 40 minutes or so alongside a river. We then transferred onto bamboo rafts and made our was back along the river so that we could get back to the camp. I have to say that the elephant camp...
18 Reviews This towering waterfall, about 250m high at the top, is an awesome sight. You approach it near Doi Inthanon National Park, and as you're hiking through the jungle (about a 10 minute hike) you can hear the water pounding the rocks way before you actually see it. As you come around that last bend, the...
41 Reviews This is another Jungle Kid, the Little-Pinky-No-Pants. He is good at asking for candies, playing with baby puppy, riding a dog while twisting its ears like riding a motorbike, and playing with knife. He chop his fingers, without crying, laughing instead! I was woundering why these kids don't cry...
13 Reviews In all packed tours we have to visit a few factories clearly prepared tor tourist and guide commissions. In Chiang Mai it looked a little bit different - as we were a small group we were taken from a small workshop to another covering all the popular activities, without the pressure to buy, and...
