There’s a special massage centre in a national park in the mountains of Doi Saket, about 30-40 min drive from Chiang Mai city on the way to Chiang Rai. The massage centre is run by la...

“Pa Tong Go” are kind of deep fried doughs that are shaped like an X - please refer to photo! You can find these sold in food carts all around Thailand in the early mornings and evenings (until sold out). Generally, your typical “Pa Tong Go” stalls also sell soy milk, and kaya (pandan leaf Comment - Like

Boy Blues Bar is an awesome place - a funky little set up in an alley between two shop houses. Going there feels like being invited in to the band’s jam session. Awesome music is the main attraction at Boy Blues Bar… Just so happens that we can buy reasonably priced drinks there too! Very frien... Comment - Like

A friend visiting Chiang Mai once told me excitedly, “It’s not everyday you get to play with real tigers!”. Tiger Kingdom in Mae Rim, Chiang Mai, is indeed a fun place to visit - unless you’re an animal activist who gets upset with the idea of using wild animals to make money from tourists, ...

A drive through the beautiful Mae Sa Valley, climb up (by car!) a picturesque steep and windy road up to the Royal Project, keep driving through small roads of local villages, arriving at the peak of the mountain to take in the vista of mountains and valleys below.

Vieng Joom On is one of my favourite places to bring visitors when they come to Chiang Mai. Literally, Vieng Joom On means “pink city” …and yes, it’s a pink themed tea house / tea shop. Guys, don’t worry, other than the bright pink main building, the rest of the tea house isn’t totally p... Comment - Like

While you’re in Thailand and looking for something fast, tasty (and cheap!) to eat, try Pad Krapraw. These are spicy chicken or pork stir fries with basil leaves, chilli, garlic, onion and fish sauce - all Thai flavours rolled into one dish. Don’t forget to order a fried egg on top, sunny side u...

There’s more to Chiang Mai than pretty temples, elephants and beautiful mountains and waterfalls.

There are several Orchid & Butterfly Farms in Chiang Mai. Most of them are in the Mae Sa Valley area, and close to attractions like Mae Sa Elephant Camp, Tiger Kingdom, Monkey School, Snake Farm, etc, and so can be easily visited at the same time. These orchid nurseries are worth visiting, especiall... Comment - Like

Sometimes it’s nice to take a little break from a busy life (or touring, if you’re on holidays) and take a little breather to recharge our batteries. Luckily, this is easy to do in Chiang Mai, and just 20 min or so drive out of the city, we have the picturesque Huay Tung Tao Lake, Comment - Like

Tired of walking? Stiff muscles? Street masseurs to the rescue! These masseurs can be found each Sunday night at Chiang Mai’s Sunday Walking Street to relieve the weary feet of shoppers. A bargain too, at only 60 baht / half an hour. Not to be missed! Comment - Like

It’s mangosteen season! What’s that? This is a fruit with soft and think purple rind, and beautiful, lusciously sweet, white flesh on the inside. Last year we had them by the bucket every night! If you’re in Thailand, this is a must try! Be careful though, to choose your mangosteen carefully. ... Comment - Like

You’re never out of things to do in Chiang Mai. One of the fun places to visit for kids and adults alike is the zoo. Chiang Mai Zoo is very large (and hilly), covering over 200 acres of land at the foot of Doi Suthep. The zoo is certainly walkable (or rather, hikable), but you Comment - Like
