Chiang Mai - A Lovely Place To Visit For a Long Weekend


Having lived in Thailand for so many years, I've visited Chiang Mai a lot. Chiang Mai is in northern Thailand, but only an hour and a half by plane from Bangkok.

Surrounded by hills and lush green fields, it's a quite sleepy town compared to Bangkok but is still stuffed with lots of fun things to do. Check out the markets, cool outdoor restaurants, beautiful temples the amazing Night Bazaar, and also the Sunday Walking Street Market (the evening market), which is the largest outdoor evening market I've ever seen! Sells everything too and at wonderful prices.

Also, don't miss visiting Doi Suthep, the famous temple up at the top of the mountain overlooking Chiang Mai - it's worth it for the views alone!
