11 / 10 Suriyawong Rd, Haiya, Muang Chiang Mai, Thailand, 50100, 66-53-203895
Well we have made it to Northern Thailand after spending most of yesterday in Bangkok airport trying our best not to spend too much money. Chiang Mai is a vibrant city that seems to a bit more in-tune with Thai culture than the busy tourist hot spots in the South. The first things we have noticed is the constant (in fact NEVER stopping) flow of traffic that begins in the morning and continues all night, and that this is definitely the place to come for lots of cheap traditional Thai handicraf...
Chiang Mai, Thailand cantsitstillDay 50 - 4th June 2006 - Bangkok Ah, a lie in! Unfortunately, it also shows our age! We were back at the hotel around midnight, but the new members of our group were out until 4am and still made it up early to go and see the weekend market in Bangkok (ChaTaChouk). Apparently, it's massive, and hot, with lots of market stalls and shops, funny that. We head to the post office to send more shopping parcels back to Blighty, and return to the Khoa San road (the main Western tourist road in Bangkok...
Chiang Mai, Thailand jeffandfonz"Merry Christmas Everyone!!!" I just got back from my hill tribe trek in Chiang Mai, Thailand and it's Christmas! You know, I really don't mind not having a white Christmas this year :) Let me pick up where I left off... "Chiang Mai" We arrived in Chiang Mai on the 20th of December with Ed... a nice slow(er) pace than Phnom Pen Cambodia! The city is nice, enclosed in a square wall and fairly small in size. To my delight, Internet access is everywhere here... really!! Sometimes you can find 10...
Chiang Mai, Thailand luckyGotta make this quick. Me and Reid conspired, he is distracting mom and dad while I update you all. We escaped the 'peace and tranquility' of Luang Pragang and have had a great time in Chiang Mai. On Sat it was raining so we went to the mall. Had lunch, played some video games then we went to the main attraction...Night at the Museum 2. Now this aint backpacking. The movie had 25 mins of commercials and previews, then we had to stand while they played the national anthem before the movie star...

Chiang Mai, Thailand sheerin09 From Bangkok to Chiang Mai we took the overnight train, it wasnt as bad as I was expecting (and much better than the ones in China - 3 beds on each side of the booth). Here it was 2 to a booth, with tables and chairs and at 10pm they get converted into 2 bunks. Granted it wasnt the most comfortable or quiet nights sleep ever but it wasnt too bad.
In Chiang Mai I visited lots of temples, including Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep Rajvoravihara set high on a hill of the city so we got some great...

... over the phone, but you can call and check to see if space is available.By Bus -- Buses from Bangkok to Chiang Mai are many and varied: from rattle-trap, non-air-con numbers to fully reclining VIP buses. The trip takes about 10 hours. From Bangkok's Northern Bus Terminal close to the Mo Chit BTS (tel. 02936-2841), six daily, 24-seater VIP buses provide the most comfort, with ...
Chiangmai, Thailand adisai2550... to Doi Suthep. First off, we have to explain about the songthaews, or shared taxis. Red songthaews are basically the yellow cabs of Chiang Mai, and besides the obvious color change, their only real difference is that passengers ride on two hard, wooden benches in the back of a covered pick-up truck with no seatbelts and only the most natural of air-conditioning. To top it off, 15 people squeeze into one vehicle with the hot, Thai sun beating down on ...
Chiang Mai, Thailand ariana.sea... but fortunately the rest of the trip made up for the lack of organization that plagued the beginning. I've loaded LOTS of pics, so you can see for yourselves! What I didn't know was the April is the hottest month in Thailand! Chiang Mai is in-land and therefore there are no beaches or ocean close by! Temperatures have been about 35 degrees +. It is so hard to do anything during the day. I've been drinking at least 3 litres of water a ...
Chiang Mai, Thailand noradonald... class I was invited by Sho Sho one of the Taiwanese students to dinner with a group of Japanese students. We walked forever to a restaurant on the other side of town (not really but it felt like it) and had dinner at a buffet style restaurant. I was at a total lost but they took care of me. There was a Swedish man in the group by the name of Johan. His first comment to me was oh your not Thai. The Japanese ladies just loved him and he was very nice. He kept teasing me ...
