Chiang Mai - Calm, Vibrant & Special


Chiang Mai which means the new city is one of my favourites destination. Located in the north of Thailand, the place is cool and peaceful. There are just too many attraction in this town. For nature lovers, there are dozens of waterfall, mountain,hot spring & national park ready for you to explore. My favorite must be the Doi Inthanon National park where the highest peak of thailand is located. Doi Inthanon which stands at 2650 meter above sea level provides a beautiful landscape and mountain view in its surrounding. My favorite place for shopping is the walking street located opposite of Thapae gate. You can find lots of good bargain here and some of the very affordable and fine handicraft. There are alot of good cafe,restaurant,bar & dance club around the city itself. However the best, most hip & trendy place is located on Nimmanheimin Road. This place is full of bars,dance club,cafe & restaurant. Do try the warm up cafe or monkey club. (two of the most popular clubs in town). If you are staying longer in Chiang Mai, do explore the others place around; Pai a town located about 100km from Chiang Mai is a place for nature lovers and for those who needs to relax and stay away from the bustling city life! I'll be back to Chiang Mai soon and i'll hope to discover others side of Chiang Mai. I'll be going to Pai and I'll be sipping some of the finest coffee in the world soon.
