Thailand...Places !...Food !

Chiang Mai !

The last I was there was like 10 years ago, and I vowed I'll be back. Besides Bangkok, Phuket, Hatyai and many other places, Chiang Mai is a place full of culture, good authentic food and I would say this is a place I would chill out and relax.

What to do in Chiang Mai ?  Go Temple !...

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Temple
If you are going on a tour, this is the first place the locals will take you. The temple is approximately 3500ft above the sea level, the compound of this temple offers beautiful panorama view of Chiang Mai city.

Go for an adventure elephant ride.  



Could be scary for first timer,..but it's fun and its safe. The kids will love this.


Maetamann Elephant Camp
There are a few elephant camps in Chiang Mai, I still prefer The Maetamann Elephant Camp, much bigger, you can witness elephants playing football, drawing !!??, feeding the elephants and you can also do lunch at the camp.  



Bamboo Rafting...



Once you are done you can also visit the long neck village nearby.



When night falls, proceed to Walking Street for food, shopping, massage or.... 



Just grab a Singha beer and watch Muay Thai.
