Chiang Mai Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

Day 1 Funnily enough, an early start to begin our first amazing adventure day!. After an hour and a half drive we arrived at the Elephant Camp. We were all really excited whilst we waited for the Ellie's to come plodding back to drop off their last passengers! Finally they arrive with a baby one tagging along behind. The baby spots Bex's can of ...

Today was our first day of rain, but, surprisingly, rain here isn't that bad. It isn't very hard, and in this heat, it is almost a relief. After a late start, we headed over to the day market in Chinatown, which is only a few blocks from our guesthouse. On the way, we discovered a store which sold the elusive "king polos." Let us explain. These...

Apres une derniere soiree a Pai, a tester les "buckets" de differents bars (c'est du rhum thai, du coke et du red bull vraiment plus fort qu'au Canada, servi dans un sceau pour enfants avec des pailles.. Ca reveille !), nous avons pris le bus avec Astride et Charlotte jusqu'a Chiang Mai. Nous avons vagabonder, le soir venu, dans le sunday market...

Chiang Mai is a great mid-size city with all the amenities set in a valley surrounded by beautiful mountains. We splurged again ;0 and stayed at a great Bed & Breakfast in the old part of town (highly recommended: http://www.charcoa.com/) and basically kicked back for the entire stay....knowing that we would be in India one week later we fig...

Hello everyone. Hope all is well. Sorry its been a while been traveling south of thailand on many overnight trains. Since the last blog we have been yo Chiang Mai which is North of Bnagkok. When we arrived the first thing i noticed was how calm it was here compared to Bangkok. The people where so freindly and the climate was alot cooler so a ple...

Not much news from here. Tomorrow is my last day of cooking. And I have enjoyed every minute of it so far. Can't wait to get home and try it all out. People in the class change every day - very few people take more than a day or two of this course. But most of the time, people are nice and interesting to talk to. Not that we get much time to tal...

Chiang Mai WOW...Chiang Mai has lived up to its reputation now the train ride on the other hand was let me just say interesting. It didn't have A/C which resulted in a very hot and humid 12 hour ride. We reserved a sleeper and was able to get a little sleep at least. I woke up before Dan to see a huge cochroach hangn' out on his stomach and some...

Hello, Well I'm still in Chaing Mai. After a few days of antibotics I started to feel normal - got my appetite back and was getting quite restless. I booked a day trip for the friday. The first leg took us to a Karen Tribe with quite a hike to get there. I thought I was crazy for booking this when we were halfway up but luckily we had a few shor...

We took the overnight train to Chiang Mai which was quite a jerky ride, but somewhat comfortable in our berths. We headed out immediately to the Elephant Nature Park where we volunteered for a week. It was great to be in one place for a while and actually work (can't believe I just wrote that). The place took care of 28 elephants that had been r...

LOY KRATHONG: Part 2 of 2 Chiang Mai, Thailand November 2004 On Saturday morning I rose early to go to the local temple (Wat) for morning monk chanting. The local women would show up with baskets of food for the monks and the monks would do some prayers for them and then the woman would buy some candles from the monks and light them on the way o...
