In a nutshell
If Bangkok is all that you will experience I feel sorry for you...go to Chiang Mai!
63 Reviews It's show business... but it's good. The performance at the training center (I don't know if it exists more than one) shows hard work and professionalism with the elephants. The show pleases adults and children. The final ride, though short and following a very beaten path, demonstrates well how...
32 Reviews I asked the taxi driver we had hired for the day whether he knew a village where a Long Neck hilltribe lived. He had just taken us to a Hmong village and I thought it would be interesting checking this other tribe as well. The case was that the guy did know a place and I asked him to take us there....
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep - Buddhist Temple
97 Reviews Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep is located ontop of a mountain overlooking Chiang Mai. According to legend, a relic was strapped to a white elephant that was released into the jungle. The elephnat eventually climbed to the top of the mountain and died. The elephant was then burried at this site and a...
40 Reviews In all the touristic catalogs, Chiang Mai is advertised with waterfalls. Well, I don't know if we were taken to the best or not, but we were not impressed. It's a healthy small walk in natural environment, which means a nice stop, but not a "must see"
41 Reviews If you ever wanted to learn the fine art of Thai cuisine then I would highly recommend the Smart Cook Thai Cookery School in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I never realized how many different ingredients were used in Thai cooking until I attended this school. The teachers were very friendly and extremely...
75 Reviews It's a strange but beautiful production - butterflies. As a matter of fact the "factory" is a tropical garden, recreating the natural condition for butterflies create and grow. Wonderful flowers, and the vivid colors of thousands of selected butterflies, are a very interesting sight.

10 Reviews Kantoke is traditional royal way for guest: "meal fest" and "show entertainment". Khan means bowl and Toke round plate. Together means the way to present dishes. The general dishes are fried pork skin, dry pork, dry rice, curry pork, fried chicken, wild vegetable, sticky rice, fruit etc. They are...
19 Reviews . It's may be a backpackers thing but it's universally accepted, that the best tasting food can be found on the streets. Coming back to the guesthouses during late afternoons after my massage classes, I am totally dead-beat exhausted and I just want to take a shower and doze-off. But am starving...
33 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....
25 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...
24 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...
43 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...
51 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.

21 Reviews To take off your shoes is extremely important when visiting temples. At the massage rooms, it was also necessary to do so. It was even requested at one of the restaurant I went to. So, it is helpful to wear shoes/sandals which can easily be taken off.
17 Reviews This flower market is located along the western bank of the Ping River, to the north of Nawarat Bridge. Here you can see stalls and shops selling the offering garlands that people take to temples plus ones that they hang in their cars.
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...
23 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...
14 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...
Hill Tribes and Volunteer work
17 Reviews STOP 4 on DOI INTHANON NATIONAL PARK TOUR Just up the road from the ranger station is a Hmong market, which sells produce from the Royal Project and Hmong villages around Mae Chaem. Actual Hmong hill tribe people live here. We stopped to have a look at their wares (mainly produce), and to see...
21 Reviews STOP 2 on DOI INTHANON NATIONAL PARK TOUR The Siriphum Waterfall is tall, pretty waterfall. The waterfalls are actually twins, two parallel streams of water, named for His Majesty King Bhumibol and Her Majesty Queen Sirikit. The name of these falls comes from a combination of Queen Sirikit and...
