What are the interesting attractions and places to go in Chiang Mai?

Chiang Mai is an exotic Thai city and a world-class famous tourist destination. Everything here highlights the essence and connotation of Southeast Asian culture, giving people a little fresh feeling. Here, I would like to share with you the recommendations of interesting tourist attractions in Chiang Mai.

Chiang Mai, the second largest city in Thailand, is known as the "Rose of the North". It was once the capital of Ranatai Dynasty, the first independent dynasty in Thai history, so it is a famous historical and cultural city and has preserved many cultural heritages so far. Besides, the temperature in Chiang Mai is suitable, which attracts many travelers.

There are also many places to visit around Chiang Mai. You can go to the nearest Baixian county or take a one-day trip to Chiang Rai in the north. If you just want to stay in Chiang Mai, the following places must not be missed.

Chanapura Royal Garden 1

As the name implies, it is the royal garden in Thailand, including the villa area built by Wang Jian in Thailand that year, and it is also the queen's favorite rose garden. In 2006, the World Horticultural Exposition was held here. The park is well maintained and looks beautiful. You can enjoy all kinds of tropical plants here. Come here for a walk and play, you can fully relax.

2. Chi Di Dragon Temple

Chi Di Dragon Temple is very famous, and almost every travel book about Chiang Mai will have its photos. Among the temples in Chiang Mai, it is the most famous, and together with Pasin Temple, it is the highest-ranking temple in Chiang Mai. Chi Tommy Tam Temple was once the tallest building in Chiang Mai. Later, the stupa of the temple was partially destroyed. It is said that the cause of the damage has not been determined.

3. Saturday night market

This should be a must-see night market in Chiang Mai, an interesting place, full of people from sunset to evening 10: 30. You can find unusual things here, buy traditional handicrafts and taste delicious snacks in the night market.

4.3D Art Museum

The 3D Art Museum in Chiang Mai is very large, and most of them are works created by Korean artists. You can also interact with the exhibits. The exhibits in it are very interesting and can stimulate your imagination.

5. Ningman Road

Ningman Road is a model of small and fresh Thai style, and it is also the most fashionable and trendy place in Chiang Mai. There are many cafes and beautifully decorated shops here, many of which are full of creativity. Maybe you will find the works of artists you like.

6. Chiang Mai Ancient Town

The ancient town of Chiang Mai itself is worth visiting and exploring. There are many delicious and interesting things waiting for you to discover. You can also reminisce about the past in the broken city walls, or rent a bicycle to visit the old city of Chiang Mai. Although Chiang Mai is the second largest city in Thailand, in our eyes, Chiang Mai is a small town with many stories.

7. Sutieshan Shuanglong Temple

It is said that the tower of this temple is made of gold, and it is also an ancient temple in Chiang Mai. Standing here and looking around, you can also see the panoramic view of Chiang Mai. Some people say that they have never been to Shuanglong Temple in Sutieshan, even if they have never been to Chiang Mai.

This is a map of my one-day tour in Chiang Mai.

The itinerary is

Ningman Road, Chiang Mai-Chiang Mai Ancient City-Tapemen-Women's Prison Massage-Fairview Town -zoeinYellow Bar

Why not go to the famous elephant camp, jungle leap and so on? The main reason is that if I choose such a scenic spot, my return trip will be at 2 or 3 pm, and I don't have much time to go shopping in Chiang Mai, but I only have one day, adhering to the purpose of free travel+reasonable planning, so I walk along the road.

The first thing to go is Ningman Road, which runs through Chiang Mai University and the ancient city. Alleys are full of shops, hotels, cafes, bars and restaurants, including many online celebrities' shops. It says here that I went to several places.

Ningman Road Food Recommendation

1. Coconut Horn Rabbit Ice Cream:

The most famous ice cream in this shop is rabbit coconut ice cream. It looks like a rabbit, mixed with cream and coconut, and decorated with blueberries and biscuits. It's really difficult to eat such rabbit ice cream. The price is reasonable, 70 baht is less than 20 RMB.

Rabbit father and rabbit daughter really can't bear to eat haha.

2. Ibery

Online comments are very high, mainly because they are suitable for taking pictures. Actually, food is very average to me. And it's really not expensive A bottle of mango juice needs 40 yuan, while the one bought outside with the same taste only costs ... 4 RMB. However, you can't take pictures here without shopping, so I bought a glass of mango juice to drink. It doesn't feel worthy of the name.

However, you can learn from me and make an ecstasy gesture for fun. Ha ha.

In addition to online celebrity shops, we also ate a lot of delicious Thai food in street shops. (each dish is less than 200 baht, and most of them are more than ten or twenty yuan. The four of us ordered four dishes, two bowls of rice and four drinks, and the last one cost 30 yuan.

Is it delicious for civilians? Haha, send a friend circle weapon)

Then I want to talk about Thai juice on the street. Thai juice is really not sweet, just like essence. Although it's very cheap, it's only a few dollars, but it's really too sweet for me and really unacceptable.

Then from Ningman Road, we rented a 200-baht motorcycle nearby and started our tour of the ancient city.

Pasin temple

The ancient city of Chiang Mai was built in 1296. This ancient city is square, surrounded by city walls and moats. It is the site of the royal palace of the ancient Ranatai dynasty in Chiang Mai.

I thought there would be many antique buildings here, but there aren't. Are the appearance and places of people's daily life. Going to the ancient city is mainly to the Buddhist temple. There are three Buddhist temples in the ancient city of Chiang Mai, namely, Chi Tommy Tam Temple, Pasin Temple and Cave Jiangman. I went to Passin Temple, the oldest temple in Chiang Mai.

The temples in Thailand are resplendent, covered with gold paper, and quiet, with few people coming and going. Sisters in the same trade began to take out their beauty mobile phones to take pictures. I silently looked at the camera in my hand and felt insulted. However, it turns out that I really can't take pictures.

I took this photo carefully, but the circle of friends sent by my sister was taken by myself with my mobile phone:

Excuse me, everyone, is it my problem?

Tapemen (encounter Thai students)

After passing through Pasing Temple, I went to Tamen to feed the pigeons. Pigeons in the square are the biggest feature here, and there are also places selling pigeon feed nearby, such as China, where a pack costs about 20 baht.

Pigeons won't run away when they see you. Maybe tourists feed a lot, so they are not afraid of people at all. If they put the feed in their hands, they will take the initiative to come over. Two stories happened here.

The first story,

I met two China tourists from Jiangsu, took some photos for them, and came all the way from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. She said that they were a little acclimatized and met by chance. We added WeChat to each other, but the story is not over yet.

In the second story, I met a group of students from Chiang Mai University. Their Chinese is quite good. Girls wear red bow ties on their heads and boys wear them on their chests. They said they would interview me.

I thought they would ask me about China, thinking about not losing face in Thailand, but what they asked was.

What kind of hairstyle do you like?

Hmm? There is something wrong with this routine. I like my hairstyle!

After laughing with them, we took a photo together. You can see many such college students in Chiang Mai. Some of them are dressed in white, while others are dressed in black. Think about it, there is no uniform in our university, but it is a unique scenery.

After a short rest in Tapemen, we went to the most famous massage in Chiang Mai.

Thai women's prison massage

Chiang Mai is famous for massage in Thai women's prisons, but pay attention to the differences. There are two shops here: one is prison massage and the other is Lila.

The difference between the two is that the former is a female prisoner who is serving a sentence and doing a SPA in prison, while the latter is a female prisoner who has been released from prison. Of course, I am still skeptical about this statement, but lila's publicity in Chiang Mai is overwhelming, so it is much more convenient to make an appointment online.

Because I didn't go to the first one, the first one picked up the information:

1. Chiang Mai Women's Correctional Institution.

Price: foot massage 150B/ hour, thai massage 180B/ hour.

Address: The address is in the alley behind Wangsan Square. Open until 4: 00 p.m., only appointments are accepted on the same day. The method is to queue up at the store at 8: 00 in the morning to make an appointment.

Business hours: Monday to Friday: 08: 00 am to 4: 30 pm; Saturday to Sunday: 9: 00 am to 4: 30 pm

Do you want to make an appointment: only accept the appointment of the day, queue up at the store at 8 am to make an appointment, and wait outside for a few minutes with the old number.

2.lilatha message price (5 branches)

What I did in lila was thai massage plus facial treatment, which cost about 140 RMB. I did a great job in thai massage before, and it was not very comfortable, but it was ok here. But if this is a prison massage, I don't think it has any characteristics.

For dinner, we chose goodview, a famous riverside restaurant in Chiang Mai, with the bar in front and the restaurant in the back. Someone sings here at night.

Then we went to the most famous night market in Chiang Mai.

Chiang Mai Night Market

From sunset to early morning, the noisy night market is singing and dancing. Although you can also see a street night market in China, the night market in Chiang Mai is bigger and all-encompassing.

Of course, the biggest purpose of coming to the night market, the night market barbecue in Thailand!

There is a street full of barbecues in Chiang Mai Night Market. Unlike domestic barbecues, barbecues in Chiang Mai are often mashups, like this:

Green pepper, tomato and mutton skewers are all strings, and they are not cheap But the taste, people who are used to domestic barbecue must not want to eat here, because it is really too sweet, and it is the kind of greasy sweetness and greasy sadness. As China's stomach, I really can't adapt. Say goodbye to Thai barbecue food.

Here is an interesting experience. I'm a little dizzy at this time because I drank some wine in the riverside restaurant. I saw a coconut lamp in the night market for no reason. At that time, my eyes were bad and I told my friend that I bought an owl. However, the next day I found that I bought a crab lamp.

Buying a lamp is also quite tortuous. I don't have enough baht. The asking price is 200 baht, the difference is about 40 baht. This is awkward at this time. I asked him if he could use RMB and take out 10 yuan, and the merchant shook his hand. Taking 100 RMB from my wallet scared me. However, he gave me a gesture and gave me 300 baht change. It turns out that he only knows 100 RMB, but the exchange rate of 1: 5 is very cost-effective.

Azo yellow

How can you not be high after visiting the night market? ZoeinYellow, the highest bar on the street, is very rare in China, and it is usually very high, very high, very high.

pharmacy

But at this time, I feel a little hoarse when I get up in the morning, and my voice is getting worse and worse.

I started sweating. I realized that it might be acclimatized. I asked the girls I had seen before. They said that there was a place selling medicine near their hotel, and they could recommend us to buy it. So we took a taxi to the drugstore, and the store gave us a pair of ten-dollar medicine and told us to take four pills three times a day. I didn't expect that on our last day in Chiang Mai, we could have so many wonderful contacts with people.

On a hurried day, I visited the ancient city, met the lovely local people in Chiang Mai and met friends from all over the world. The backpacker's journey always gives people countless surprises.
