A Pleasant Weekend Trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand

Around one and half hour flight north from Bangkok, a scenic heaven is there in the kingdom of Thailand. A blend of modern and quaint back lifestyle, green and verdant hills and fascinating Buddha temples and ruins, Chiang Mai is really a travelers’ heaven. As soon as you land on its small but pretty airport, you get to explore the classic Lanna style of architecture and enchanting greenery. The drive into the downtown area will lead to the famous Night Bazaar of Chiang Mai Province. It would not be exaggeration to describe Chiang Mai a city of temples. Buddha temples & ruins are everywhere in the city reflecting its historical and spiritual significance. However, the historical significance of Chiang Mai is derived from its strategic location on the Ping River and premium trading routes.

Chiang Mai has a lot to do and see. The Wat Phra Dat, located on Doi Suthep Hill, is one of the most famous attractions known for its golden pagoda rising into the sky. The views for the top of the hill are also stunning. Going up into the hill gives the travelers an opportunity to discover many untainted parts of nature and rich & interesting cultures of tribe villages. There are several camping sites to make the travelers stay during their visit to these hill communities.

To have a wonderful evening experience, the other-side of Ping River is a good option to visit dotted with a plethora of bars, bubs and discotheques. This beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean river front area is thronged by a large number of tourists, both locals and foreign tourists, who come here to spend their evening in a nice way. Apart from that, it would be a heavenly experience to sit outdoor under cool weather and dring your favorite cocktail with home style Italian meal. To plan a Chiang Mai, buying a tour package Thailand is the best option. A tour package Thailand usually includes travel to Pattaya, Bangkok and Chiang Mai with all travel facilities. So, you can have an enjoyable tour with any hassle with a Thailand holiday package.
