wow… those gold buildings are fascinating. What an experience!

Your pictures are breathtaking! I love the saturated colors, the human element and the beautiful sights of Chiang Mai. I’ll be traveling there in November, I can’t wait. Any suggestions?
-
Thank you so much! Thanks for visiting
Chiang Mai is so incredible. I highly recommend the Patara Elephant Farm. What takes you to Thailand? If you are traveling for leisure, dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel was something my husband and I really enjoyed. Chiang Mai is especially cheap so you will be able to indulge a bit 
I also suggest going to the top of the mountain to the Doi Suthep Temple, but get ready for quite the ride up! (I got a little car sick). If you have enough time, the factories are really great to see there too. They have an entire district with jewelry, silk and textiles that you can visit, shop and see how they’re produced. Hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip! Thanks again for visiting my blog

Holy cow, these pictures are gorgeous. My fave: the status of the hippo that’s labeled ‘Mom.’ I have to confess, it made me giggle.
Congrats on FP!

This is beautiful!! I’m currently in the South East Asia part of the world and hope to go to chiang mai sometime soon!
-
Your photos are incredible. I love the elephant sitting on the pot – I had to look twice! Have a great trip.

Ah, it takes me back. Thailand has the potential to change your life like nowhere else I’ve been. Treasure it!
-
Beautiful photos! . . . The little children are gorgeous in their traditional garb!

You made me miss Thailand all the more! Been there last May and have been raring to go back ever since. I thought people were joking when they said it’s a haven for shopping. Well, it definitely is
-
These photos are gorgeous! At first, I was hoping to read a little something about each one, but as I went through them, there was no need for you to write anything…they speak for themselves.
Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!

I love your photos! I just returned from Chiang Mai a few months ago. Such a beautiful city and country, yet so much darkness in that place.

Chiang Mai, what a wonderful town! I visited one of my girlfriend over there. She is married with a Thai. They are the owner of Scorpion Tours and are doing amazing Sightseeing tours. I stayed 10 days in Chian Mai. Wonderful town with not so many tourists as in other regiions of Thailand. The nightmarket is amazing and eating over there each night was my daily pleasure. You can’t go wrong with any of these open restaurants where locals also eat. No worry to get sick over there. If you are in this region please visit also the DJUNGEL MARKET. A great and stunning experience. All the best for you.

It appears that Lotus land still looks like it ever was: an idealized paradise full of delusions and dreams.

Wow. Gorgeous photos. These make me want to go back to Chiang Mai. Of all the places I’ve holidayed, I think Chiang Mai was the city we stayed in for the longest. It was by necessity, but it is an easy city to hang out in.
-
fabulous shots! the history and culture and lifestyle are so different from the states. it’s very intriguing. i need to make a trip! thanks for sharing!
-
What beautiful pictures! Your title caught my eye because I have friends who live in Chiang Mai. I look forward to visiting one day.
-
Isn’t it simply beautiful there! My very good, old High School chum, Richard has lived there for ages now and loves the place. Just in case you need an English speaker that knows the territory and customs, etc. I can give you his numbers, if you need them! Enjoy your experience over there… it’s such a delightful display of colors, smells, tastes… and jungle!
Have a fun experience!

You may have just sparked the re-emergence of the travel bug in me. Many thanks for sharing your photos and inspiring the world!

I have been there a few times, and i reckon the temples in the north are far more incredible than those in the south. If this is only day one strap yourself in!
