Which children's shoes know more about Bangkok and Chiang Mai? What are the two cities like?

seeing that you published in the tourism section, it seems that you want to travel. Just last Christmas, both cities were there.

Bangkok

The first impression of Bangkok is that there are many cars, including private cars, taxis and tuk-tuk cars unique to Thailand. But few people honk their horns. Most of the lanes in the city center are two lanes, but the green belt in the middle is very large, which is a bit like a one-way street. Buses have no air conditioning and are cheap. For taxis, the starting price is 35b (about 7 yuan) within 2 kilometers, but taxis are prone to traffic jams. There are two kinds of rail transit: BTS and MRT. It is very developed in the center of the city, but the price is relatively expensive (similar to Shanghai, or more expensive). Therefore, there are not many Thais taking the light rail, and most of them are people with higher incomes.

the two rail transit systems meet in the Siam business district in the city center. It is worth mentioning that there is no subway in Thailand, and they are all built in the air. So if you get off at the city center, there is an overpass directly connecting to the entrance of the second floor of the shopping mall in the annex. Yes, the overpass in the city center is very developed, linking the entrance of the second floor of the light rail to the major shopping malls. In the center of Bangkok, visitors can basically walk in the air without leaving the ground, hahahaha.

There are many stray dogs, and they are fatter, calmer and more indifferent than those in China. They just lie on the overpass and sleep. Thais are very kind to dogs.

The infrastructure of tourism is well done, and 711 convenience stores can be seen everywhere, which are cheap and open 24 hours a day. You can also charge the phone bill. There are also many daily necessities specially provided for tourists, such as small packets of washing powder. There are also information kiosks in places frequented by tourists, and maps are distributed free of charge.

Thais are very friendly to tourists and basically give them whatever they want. Asking for directions will never disappoint you. It's super enthusiastic. The English of Bangkok people is OK. I don't know Thai, and I walked from southern Thailand to northern Thailand alone by English. Young people don't have the Thai accent they imagined, while middle-aged people have the accent. Young people in Bangkok are very fashionable. There are a lot of handsome pots, and I took a lot of photos, Muhahaha.

Bangkok is very open, and there is a prayer room dedicated to Muslin on the third floor of the airport. Feminized men are indeed seen among Thai people (but they feel natural, with exquisite makeup and elegant manners, yes, elegant). Thailand is very tolerant, and people can choose their own gender after birth, and they will not be discriminated against (if they don't engage in the industry of color qing, some people will understand, but some people still don't understand, so discrimination will always exist, but it will not be as obvious as we think).

The university in Bangkok (visited Jura and Fazheng) Jura is in the city center, accounting for a quarter of the entire Siam business district. There is a lot of vegetation in the school. The quiet campus is separated from the bustling downtown by a wall, but one wall separates the two worlds. The old campus of Fazheng is on the Chao Phraya River, near the Grand Palace and Kau San Road. The new campus is in Lanshi campus, far north of Bangkok.

The last impression is that there is a big gap between the rich and the poor in Bangkok.

Chiang Mai

It takes 12 hours by train from Bangkok. It is known as the Rose of Northern Thailand and Teresa Teng's favorite city. Divided into new urban areas and old urban areas. The old city is not big. There are the ruins of the old city wall in eight directions: southeast, northwest, southeast, southwest, northeast and northwest. I don't feel lost in the old city. In the center of the old city is a big temple with a long history. In the middle is a four-sided statue half blown off by artillery fire. The broken images of blue sky and white clouds combine to witness the vicissitudes of Chiang Mai. The east wall is Tapei Gate, which is the most lively gate in the old town of Chiang Mai. Every year during the Spring Festival, there will be a stage, and there will be no performances for a week, and there will be count down on the evening of December 31. There will also be a symphony orchestra composed of local primary school students, which feels very good. Tapemen Chiang Mai Old Town is relatively quiet, with many tourists and many homestays. It is lively near Tapemen, slightly more expensive and cheaper in the city. You can rent a motorcycle to drive around the old town of Chiang Mai.

The Meiping Hotel where Teresa Teng stayed is in the east of Tapemen, between the old city and the new city, and there will still be fans to mourn.

Chiang Mai University is about 1km northwest of the old city. Chiang Mai University is very big and built on the mountain. The vegetation on the campus is extremely rich, which can make people get lost like a virgin forest. There is also a big lake, where lakes and mountains complement each other.

The English penetration rate of Chiang Mai people is also very good. There are many foreigners in Europe, America, Japan and South China, but few tourists in. Meeting an uncle who speaks Chinese on the train excited me for a long time. There are many Chinese in China in Chiang Mai, most of whom came from Chaoshan Yunnan, and most of them can't speak Chinese. A few people can speak a few words because of business. The host I live in Chiang Mai is Chinese in China, and my grandfather is from Yunnan, whose real name is Zhang. Now Chinese is not very fluent.

Chiang Mai is quiet and beautiful, with a slow pace, which is quite different from Bangkok. If Bangkok is a modern metropolis, then Chiang Mai is the back garden of the metropolis.
