Super love for Chiang Mai. Here are some highlights of this awesome place.
Chatted with a monk at Wat Phra Singh. The temple compound is beautiful and shows off Chiang Mai's famous Lanna architecture.
More ornate and incredible craftsmanship at temples.
Tip: wear easy shoes to slide on and off and nothing someone might be tempted to walk off with.
Loved seeing the locals and thier pets bundled up for the 75* temps. Check this pooch wearing fleece.
The night bazaar lives up to it's fame. With food stands, a gazillion vendors, restaurants, music, and of course, fish spas it is such a scene.
I was digging the healthy vibe Chiang Mai exudes. This fruit stand is a great example of the fresh fruit that abounds.
Tip: they add sugar water to some fruit shakes so if you care about that, ask.
The mountain top view is cool at the top. You have a quick 306-step climb that is neat and this multi-headed beast will greet you before the ascent. You probably don't need a tour to enjoy it.
And of course, Pak Chiang Mai... the tiny sweet hotel with the lovely garden. I will miss Chiang Mai!
Bo always said that Chiang Mai was great and he lived there for quite some time before he moved back to Bangkok
ReplyDeleteAnna and I had a wonderful evening with Bo and two of his friends. The five of us ate dinner at an outdoor restaurant with a view looking down on to Chiang Mai. There was a live band going from table to table singing classic American tunes... "Cash's Ring of Fire was tops. The food and conversation with Bo was super.
