The place where we decided to travel this time is Chiang Mai, Thailand. Because of the unusual richness of local environment and herbs, it is often compared to another name of "Northland Rose", which was once the favorite town of the late singer Teresa Teng!

The tips written in front
1. It is recommended that the Thai baht be exchanged at the domestic China Bank, and the exchange rate is the most cost-effective. Otherwise, the exchange rate of Ningman Road Exchange Store will generally be higher than that of the ancient city. It is recommended to get a visa in advance, and Taobao is recommended to apply for a visa with "Baicheng. com"
3. Thailand's tourism is mainly temples, and the dress code is strict, so be sure to do your homework in advance
4. Recommend several mobile apps: Google
Maps (Google Maps, you deserve it in a country where you can drive a motorcycle freely); Tripadvisor (Catwalk Eagle, an owl logo that can be seen everywhere in Chiang Mai, a food guide, which is much more practical than public comments); Eat, drink and be merry in Chiang Mai (a raiders software that domestic tourists like, and a friendly partner of Han Chiang Mai Travel Agency); As for Ctrip and Honeycomb, it depends on personal preference.
DAY1
In order to save travel expenses, we chose to take AirAsia's red-eye flight from Guangzhou to Chiang Mai at : 5 a.m., with a stopover in Bangkok, and we need to spend one night at Bangkok Don Muang Airport.
airasia tips (written for friends who have never taken airasia)
airasia departing from China needs to print the boarding pass, show your pre-printed e-ticket and baggage ticket at the airasia counter at the airport (after booking, airasia will send you an email and check in online about 1 days in advance), and the staff will print the boarding pass to Bangkok and check it in for you. Airasia flights departing from abroad can board the plane directly by e-ticket, so when Bangkok flies to Chiang Mai, it only needs to show the pre-printed e-ticket and check the luggage directly to Chiang Mai without picking it up halfway. At Bangkok airport, be careful to take the connecting passage without leaving the airport. When you arrive at Chiang Mai Airport, be sure to pay attention to the staff holding signs in the aisle, who will write your name and tell you where to pick up your luggage, which is different from other places where direct passengers pick up their luggage. (We didn't pay attention to it, and almost missed σ (< P > △|||)) It's super cold at Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok in the early morning, so remember to bring more clothes!
after we arrived in Chiang mai, we immediately asked the staff to help us call taxi at the taxi service center opposite the airport exit, got on the bus with the boarding ticket written by the staff, and went to 25B in the ancient city. Our first destination was a massage shop in women's prison recommended by a friend, which was located at the back of the Three Kings Monument and at the crossroads. When we arrived, it was already at 11: a.m. (This massage shop is limited in size, so remember to arrive as early as possible! )
On the way, we walked to the nearby "Han Chiang Mai Travel Agency" and booked tickets for Jungle Leap, Chiang Rai One-Day Tour and PAI County. The travel agency sent a plane delivery service, and the overall price was similar to that booked in Ctrip. The front desk was fluent in Chinese and communication was barrier-free.
At p>11 o'clock, we returned to the Massage Shop on time. It was introduced on the Internet that this Massage Shop was opened to help service personnel find jobs. Technicians are in service and charge 2B yuan per hour. The price is very cheap and the press is very comfortable, which left an excellent impression on us when we first arrived in Chiang Mai.
after the massage, we took two buses to Ningman Road to check in at the hotel. The hotel is called Chanette, a Loft industrial hotel, which is located next to online celebrity store Mango
Tango. The decoration is very distinctive, and the front desk is very warm. The only drawback is that there is no elevator.
The first thing to do after we put down our luggage is to fill our stomachs. We went straight to the Local
Cafe in online celebrity, which is located at the intersection of Ningman Road and opposite to Maya Shopping Mall. This big cat carrying a bag is its symbol. We ordered watermelon ice, cheesecake, rice and flour with extremely high value, all of which are delicious. The large floor-to-ceiling glass environment is quite good and not expensive. It is recommended!
because we couldn't sleep well at the airport the night before, we didn't go anywhere in the afternoon. It's most important to catch up on sleep.
I wandered around Ningman Road in the evening and casually walked into a restaurant called KhunMorCuisine on 17th Street in Ningman. I accidentally found that the chicken rice and clear soup rice noodles were delicious.

Day 2
The next day, we planned to visit Shuanglong Temple in Sutie Mountain. We asked the front desk of the hotel in advance how to get there. The front desk MM said it was better to take a double chartered bus to Chiang Mai University, which was cheaper. We directly took a double bus to Chiang Mai University on Ningman Road, with 8B people. After arriving at the main entrance of the university, I just saw a two-car driver soliciting passengers up the mountain, and Sutie Mountain went back and forth to the university 16B. If he returned to Ningman Road, he would add 4B.
Shangsutie Mountain is basically a mountain road with many sharp bends, about half an hour's drive, but thanks to the driver's driving skills, I threw up as soon as I got off the bus. The driver told us that the tour time was one and a half hours, and he was waiting for us in the parking lot. Ssangyong Temple charges 2B temple maintenance fee to foreigners. The whole Ssangyong Temple is magnificent and commanding, and you can also see the panoramic view of downtown Chiang Mai, which is really worth opening your eyes.
After Sutie Mountain came down, we asked the hotel MM to help us rent a motorcycle. The rent is 27B a day, and we need a passport. After renting the car, we set off for lunch. We originally planned to go to Anchan
Noodle to eat blue noodles as recommended in the guide. As a result, we found that we went to another restaurant called Anchan, which is a vegetarian restaurant. Because I was too hungry, I didn't want to change places. Who knew that the menu was only in English and Thai, and there were no pictures. I couldn't understand σ (△ < P > ||| |). I had to open the Catway Eagle APP and point to a few pictures on the APP. As soon as the dishes came up, I found that the color was beautiful and looked very good. After trying, I found that the taste was also very pleasant! Qiao Qiao eats! It is worth mentioning that it is the seventh restaurant in Chiang Mai.
- Address: Nimmanahaemindanda Road Oppositotoi 13
It's about 3 o'clock after lunch. While there is still time, we decided to take a motorcycle tour around the ancient city and visit the most famous Chaidilong Temple in the ancient city. There are not many tourists in the afternoon, and with the reflection of sunset, the big stupa looks so dazzling, which is a good time to take pictures. In front of the stupa, people feel so small that they are awed by looking at this historic building.
▲ This is the main hall of Chaidilong Temple. Monks are sitting neatly chanting, followed by devout believers.
in the evening, we went back to the Maya shopping mall on Ningman Road. I saw that there was a Dhara
Dhevi that sold macaroon well. I accidentally brushed the Weibo and found that there was an open terrace on the top floor of Maya with a panoramic view of Ningman Road. There were two bars on the terrace, and many local young people were spreading dog food here. Pay attention. On the way back to the hotel, we went to Mango
Tango, a online celebrity store next to the hotel, which is known as "Xu Liushan, Thailand", and tasted a variety of mango special desserts.
- Address: Nimmanahaemindalane9 Suthepmueang
▲ On the left is DharaDhevi's macaroon combination, with 2B flavors, but it is too sweet; On the right is mango glutinous rice from online celebrity store Mango
Tango. Mango glutinous rice is a little more delicious than that from roadside vendors. It is ok to take photos, but it is not recommended.
DAY3
On the third day, we will carry out the most anticipated jungle leap project in Chiang Mai, and play the most popular route, Jungle
Flight, which is very attractive after reading the introduction. I have already made a reservation in Han Chiang Mai Travel Agency. At 8 o'clock, the driver arrived at the door of our hotel on time. The place where the jungle leaps is in the suburbs and mountains, which is about an hour's drive from the hotel.
when you arrive, the staff will guide you to put your belongings in the storage box, and then ask everyone to sign a "life and death certificate". If you need the full name photo-taking service, you can give it to another 18B. Considering that we won't take our mobile phones to leap, we want this service. Then a car full of us was a team,
9 people, led by a coach, an assistant and a follower, and began to leap!
The coach is very Nice. He can speak English and a little Mandarin. Before he started to leap, everyone felt very nervous. Some people said that they were afraid of heights, but when the coach flew over the first platform, we could see that everyone was relaxed. Because the safety measures are really sufficient, the coach is also very professional, and he will guide and help you all the way. There is no sense of weightlessness and no fear at all, and the feeling of flying from tree to tree is really cool. The most correct is the 4-meter and 1-meter long ropeways, which are super exciting and recommended by the cracked wall. This is definitely a must-play project when you come to Chiang Mai!
After the jungle leap, everyone was high, and after lunch, they set foot on the way back happily. After returning to the hotel on Ningman Road, we packed our luggage and took a double taxi to stay at the KOKOPALM
INN in the ancient city. This hotel has a convenient location and a feeling of small houses, which is very good. It takes about 1 minutes to walk from the hotel to Tapemen. There are many shops for eating and shopping nearby, and the main road of the ancient city is next to it. In the evening, we went to Tapemen for a walk. There were many pigeons in Tapemen Square, next to which there was a small selling feed. We bought a small bag of feed. He can also help you make pigeons fly collectively, create pictures and provide free photo service.
it was getting dark, so we chose a restaurant called ugo
bar&; Restaurant's Italian restaurant had dinner, and I went there specially for it, ranking 11th on Catway Eagle. I ordered two spaghetti, two drinks and a salad, which were much heavier than we expected! Two people can't finish it, and the price is not expensive and the taste is good! Recommended!
- Address: 47 Moon Muang Road NextToortThapaeboxstadium
After dinner, go straight through Tapei Gate, and you can reach Changkang Road Night Market for about 15 minutes. The weekend night market is fixed to open on weekends, but Changkang Road is open every day. Those who can't catch up with the weekend night market can visit here. Passing through a booth Rotee selling banana pancakes, the stall owners are three grandfathers and grandmothers, and there is a small queue in front of the booth. I want to try it quickly, but it's so sweet.
DAY4
On the fourth day, we signed up for a one-day tour in Chiang Rai, and the bus came to pick us up at 7: in the morning. The one-day tour was full of this kind of van tour with about 1 people, which was quite comfortable. The tour guide is fluent in English and can speak simple Chinese. The regular route of the Chiang Rai delegation is to visit the Black Temple in the morning and the White Temple in the afternoon, and pack a simple lunch. There is one drawback. We pass through the village of the long-necked ethnic group on the way, and our tour fee does not include visiting the long-necked ethnic group. However, if someone in the same car signs up for the tour, they will have to wait for him to visit before leaving together, which will delay some time.
It's about 3 hours' drive to Chiang Rai, which means the road is smooth, so it's comfortable to sit, and you don't need to take motion sickness medicine. Let's go to see the Black Temple first. The Black Temple is a museum of famous local artists, which collects all kinds of animal bones and a bunch of strange things. This is a place full of imagination and art. Anyway, I don't quite understand it. It's good to open my eyes.
After lunch, we set off for the White Temple. We had seen many pictures of the White Temple on the Internet before, and thought it was a beautiful temple. But when you came to the scene and witnessed this artwork, all you could feel was shock, madam. It's really a rare large-scale artwork, and it is definitely one of the essences of Chiang Mai tourism. You can't help but see it! Entering the gate of the scenic spot, we kept taking pictures along the way, crossed the hell bridge and walked into the temple, feeling that we had experienced a reincarnation and were touched. We always feel that one hour's browsing time is a bit short, and there is also a golden toilet built with a lot of money in the scenic spot. The last toilet is so luxurious, which is a long experience. The tour guide said that with the ticket, you can get a brochure about the White Temple at the service desk, which has a Chinese version. After visiting the White Temple, I went home to Chiang Mai and stayed at KOKO
PALMINN at night.
I felt a little tired after riding for more than six hours on this day. The first thing I did when I returned to the ancient city, I went to LILA, near the hotel, and made a herbal massage. It was about 8 RMB for an hour and a half, and I felt much more comfortable. But I think it is not as good as the women's prison in terms of cost performance. ˉ? ˉ? )
DAY5
On the fifth day, we set out for PAI County, bought tickets in Chiang Mai, Han in advance, and took the Mini
Van of Prempracha's family, which cost more than 3 RMB one way. At the appointed time, a driver will pick you up at the hotel gate, then take you to a station outside the ancient city, and then transfer to PAI County.
Chiang Mai is 133 kilometers away from PAI County, with 762 bends. The roads are all asphalt roads, but the roads are rugged. Friends who are prone to carsickness should bring their own carsickness medicine! Remember to take motion sickness medicine! Remember to take motion sickness medicine! Remember to take motion sickness medicine! Advice! It takes about 3 hours by car. Immediately after arriving at the station, I went to buy a ticket for tomorrow's return trip. I found that there was only 14 pm left, so I decided to buy it.
We booked Montis Resort in PAI County, which is a resort hotel. The environment is so good that we want to stay in the hotel. There is a golf cart in and out of the hotel. If you want to go to PAI County, a van will be arranged to take you there. The service is so thoughtful!
For lunch, we randomly found a restaurant named NongBeer
Restaurant recommended online in the city. The taste was so ordinary, and the green papaya salad was simply a fighter in dark cuisine. After lunch, we rented a motorcycle in the motorcycle shop next to the station, only 2B yuan a day, so cheap!
We drove freely on the highway in PAI County, punched in the cards along the punching route, and took photos through the inverted hut, the tree swing and the little yellow house.
In the evening, we went directly to PAI's night market to find dinner. PAI County's night market was much more interesting than Changkang Road's, and we sold a lot of food along the way. We saw a food stall recommended by Chinese mothers online and ordered cold yellow noodles, which was delicious. I tried another local wonton, and it was delicious.
DAY6
In the morning, we got up hard at 5 o'clock and drove our motorcycles to Yunlai observation deck to watch the sunrise! It's cold and cold all the way. It turns out that Thailand also has winter! Yunlai observation deck is not far from our hotel.
