Visit Northern Thailand / Travel Experiences in northern Thailand

Chiang Mai is the second largest city of Thailand and is considered the capital Northern Thailand. chedis Gold and temples adorned abound.The atmosphere is very friendly and the pace of life is slow, to say the least. I can not say the markets, the pace here Thailand is frenetic.Northern travel experience.

If it is possible that you are a local resident in northern Thailand with you while you shop, price yields a much more satisfactory. There is undoubtedly a two-tier structure of prices for residents and visitors.

All products set out in the night bazaar has been built in the villages around Chiang Mai. The handicraft villages such as Baan Tawai Borsang and represent excellent value for its own account, but if time is a limiting factor, the Night Bazaar has all the available jobs in the region.

Also located in the night bazaar area a lot bars and restaurants where you can quench their thirst and rest your feet. All prices are reasonable and offer entertainment, making it one of Chiang Mai tourist destinations Northern Thailand more attractive.

At some distance from the city on the road to Doi Suthep is Chiang Zoo Mai. A popular day trip from Chiang Mai located between forests and spectacular waterfalls. Feeding alligators is always a popular show, but around the zoo, You can see all kinds of mammal species, reptiles and birds all in the wild.

It is too tired to walk to the zoo, if you want to see everything, but they have mini-bus you can jump to get from one point to a low cost.

Chiang Mai offers many hotels, the average budget luxury Sheraton Hotel Chiang Mai.

Something must be remembered that most hotels have a day room rates and monthly fees. If you stay more than two weeks in the city, ascertaing is really worth leading rate newspaper. After being offered rate every day, knowing the monthly rate.

In a hotel 650baht a daily rate, which represents a monthly rate of 20,000 baht. You will be pleasantly surprised that the monthly rate will be about 7-8000baht.

This translates into a saving of 1000 cons-2000baht daily rate. A period of two weeks means that the additional days will be essentially free.

The only difference is that the service sheets are changed once or twice a week and so does the cleaning chamber of the room. A small sacrifice I offer.

Chiang Mai Lamphun South, home of Northern Thailand Trading Estate, which provides jobs in multinational companies it has many names are instantly recognizable to the majority of visitors. Lamphun, also has its own moat and several historic temples. Lamphun is the capital of the ancient kingdom Haripunchai origin.

Further south along the road are eleven Lampang, another city that attracts tourists to its important temples.

No more than the temple near Kho Ka Hang Chat. His claim to fame is that he was the original home of the Buddha Esmeralda. The Buddha has been stolen by the first monarch and now resides at the Grand Palais in Krung Thep (Bangkok for you and me).

Armando Timestamps can clearly see surrounding the Chedi and big game stone is made of the battle that took place. The original wooden temple exists today and is viewed with great respect by the faithful.

Another town well worth a visit Chiang Rai. You need to drive north of Chiang Mai and, finally, is the only peak Chiang Dao – Another strong peak, with a fabulous complex of caves below.

Further north, leave the main road and travel through Doi mountain passes Angkhang – One of the last true wilderness in Thailand before the hills of Myanmar to lend you.

Another popular option is to continue to Tha Ton, here you can take a rafting trip overnight in the old northern Thai city of Chiang Rai. Much quieter and more of Chiang Mai, but beautifully preserved and presented.

South Road, will head to the hills of Lampang another beautiful city of Phayao through Ngao, located at the foot of the hills to cross. I can testify from personal experience that is exciting for this bus tour. The pilots did not seem to accept that others may use the road. While on the road is out of your way.

It is also Phayao important to know who suffer under the immense body of water on your left. There is a temple located in the lake should is considered one of the most peaceful land.

After changes in Phayao Highway North, possibly written in Chiang Rai South. Further north is 30 km from Mae Sai, whose claim to fame is at the northern tip of Thailand. Marks called Freedom Bridge border Thailand and Myanmar.

Personally I can not imagine the Myanmar people regard it as a bridge from freedom to the military junta in Myanmar to stand firm.

To change NorthernThailand Myanmar, however, is certainly an experience not to be missed. Immiediately on the cover is a market that is a hotbed contraband or low prices of all colors.
