Chiang Mai Hotels - Reviews and Rates

At around 8am we were collected from our hotel in Chiang Mai and travel by săwngthăew (converted pickup truck taxi) to the forestry elephant training camp to the north of Chiang Mai, where these magnificent beasts are taught to become proficient, trustworthy forestry workers. From the elephant training camp we drove for about 30 minute...

WOW what an amazing few days!!!

We arrived in Chaing Mai very tired after a long overnight bus from Bangkok (luckily we got some sleep but the roads were quite bumpy :s). We had a hotel booked through the trek that we were doing but when we arrived at a very nice looking hotel we were convinced we were at the wrong place. Luckily we were...

Entry and photos to follow. But probably not...Travelpod is *****.

Today was Thai cooking day and then the bus to Bangkok. We got a Tuk-Tuk to the market where one of the chefs took us round the different stalls showing us the multitude of fruits and herbs that were available. It was quite interesting but I will never be able to remember them all!! The Tuk-Tuk then took us to the kitchen where we would spend th...

I love food. It is so delicious. Even better than eating it, however, is being able to cook it so you can eat it again. Enter Baan Thai Cooking School. We chose Baan Thai for a few very simple reasons: they were the least expensive. Even so, the price was significantly more than in Vietnam, so we were happy to find that with our education we wou...

Gestern um etwa 10 Uhr morgens sind wir in Chiang Mai am Bahnhof angekommen. Das Guesthouse in das wir wollten war leider voll, drum sind wir in das gegenueber eingezogen. In diesem Zimmer haben wir unsere erste Begegnung mit einer Kakerlake gemacht, was aber nicht weiter schlimm war... Das Zimmer an sich ist sehr sauber und wir haben einen Vent...

So here you guys go, a few pictures if they tickle your fancy This was at the grand palace in bangkok, he wasnt the only little fella holding this thing up, looks pretty cool i thought. Oh and this is the view I had every night up at Doi Suthep- during the day the smog ruined the view but at night i got to see this... and a full moon!! This is t...

I can't believe I have just typed out so much stuff on this entry and probably won't be able to do it just as good... and the computer crashed on me! Stupid Thai dingy little place! I'm gutted! Angry angry angry! Har har, anyway! Helllooorrr! Thank you for all your comments, I loves them loads and they really make me smile, I don't know how my l...

The trek was nothing short of amazing, bit wet, especially because it was raining so much on day one, but also because we waded through numerous rivers, in fact, one third of the 3-hour trek was up a riverbed. Ankle-deep, we took some pretty deep dips with our hiking boots and sneakers. Lucky there was only five of us plus a varying number of gu...

I went back to the airport yesterday afternoon to pick Nikki up at the correct time. Fortunately I didn't have the same taxi driver, that would've been embarassing! She arrived on time but unfortunately has a bit of a cold so wasn't feeling well. We jumped in the taxi and I chatted her ear off, telling her about my flight and what I'd seen and d...
