One of A Kind Experience in Chiang Mai

Talking about Thailand, I thought of Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is a fast developing city with heavy traditional and cultural elements withhold in it. Like some other parts of Thailand, you would be able to find loads of tuktuks and temples around you. Isn’t that interesting? Well, simply because more 'tuktuks' means more convenience to travel about. More temples means more places to visit… And more beautiful photos to take!

The latest attraction in Chiang Mai is the Wat Rong Khun (The White Temple). As its name suggested, this temple is purely in white with amazing architecture and sculptures on every surface of it. Even the walk ways and surroundings are decorated with meaningful sculptures and monuments. For a slight preview, enjoy the pictures below. (Photo credit : Honou)

Next, let’s dash into the jungle and get ready for some extreme action! I’m sure you won’t get this kind of experience every where. Take the Elephant Safari Tour which you can get yourself nearer to nature. Sit on the back of Dumbo and gang while they show you around their ‘home’. After the unusual encounter with Dumbo, get wet in the next adventure – water rafting! Well, I told you it’s gonna be extreme, didn’t I? (Photo credit : fantomdesigns)
What’s for dinner? Dine in Khantoke Palace for dinner while being entertained with their famous cultural dance and performance. You’ll be served with the Northern-style cuisine like tom yam, curry and rice on low tables while sitting on the matted floor. Traditional dances like Thai finger dance, sword dance and candle dance would be performed in front of the visitors and guests, enriched with Thailand’s traditional music.

After dinner, do not miss the Night Bazaar as it usually operates until late night. Clothes, batiks, household items, food, drinks, snacks and many other things can be found here! It’s indeed a shopping haven for tourists but always remember to bargain as I think it should be the ‘local culture’ here. The operators of these long stretches of stalls are always ready for the ‘bargaining’ battle. Don’t leave your calculators at home. It’s time to make them into good use! (Photo credit : avlxyz)
