I just came back from Chiang Mai. Please share it.

I'm not a tourist attraction party, so every time I go abroad to play, I want to drive a train, and this trip to Chiang Mai is no exception, mainly to see what Teresa Teng's favorite city was like before his death.

The consumption in Chiang Mai is really low, except for hotels, where backpackers should stay. However, because we are going to enjoy life, the hotel reservation is a little expensive, but it is very cheap to eat later (the RMB exchange rate is about 1: 5 now)!

First of all, it is strongly recommended not to look for a specific store in Chiang Mai.

Chiang Mai is a very strange city. Unlike Lijiang in China, it has not been fully developed. Especially in the ancient city, you can often see the atmosphere where local residents and tourists live together.

You can see seafood stalls at the street corner, small Thai restaurants at the end of the street, all kinds of small specialties on the street, and you can also see western-style and Thai restaurants on the tall street. It is both a kind of enjoyment and an adventure to find food while walking.

If you love Thai cuisine, every restaurant, no matter how poor or expensive, will have delicious Thai fried powder, fried rice, mango smoothies, Thai iced tea and Dongyin Gong, which will never let you down, and according to my experience these days, the more authentic the street-side restaurants are.

second, walk the streets and lanes, and there are cafes in another village.

In Chiang Mai, besides eating and pressing the road, we also have a hobby of drinking coffee. We often find a cafe with a good environment, sit for a long time, and then change places at night. There are many alleys, large and small, in the ancient city of Chiang Mai. Sometimes you may see a place with walls on both sides, and think it must be a residential area or there is no road. You can walk over and see that it is actually a coffee street with a full leisure atmosphere.

There are countless individual cafes, large and small, and most of them offer light meals. Because it was Christmas Eve when we went, there were so many foreigners.

In the ancient city, you rarely see tourists from China (ahem, they all went with the group to brush the scenic spots). On the contrary, foreigners seem to be integrated into local life, enjoying a can of beer and a cup of coffee in the sun all afternoon and teasing cats and dogs on the street corner.

In Chiang Mai, you should do this:

1. Go to a temple early or at night, and you may meet cats in the temple (I didn't see them this time in Siam, but I saw many cats of different styles, many of which were in the temple);

2. Walk around the streets to experience the life of the local people, and watch the pupils buy snacks after school.

3. Even if you don't know English, don't worry, many locals are beginning to know Chinese (the power of tourists in China is really huge);

4. Take a two-lane bus (red) or a tuk-tuk bus (black), all of which beckon to stop and negotiate the price and destination with the driver. We tried to take tuk-tuk at night, and the driver's grandfather was so fast that he was so excited that he didn't want it!

5. Eat a night market. We missed the weekend night market, but there is also Night Bazzar on Changkang Road in the ancient city. The price is very cheap, and we can eat all kinds of local characteristics.

By the way, although I don't recommend the store, I must add two in the end:

1. There is one in the ancient city and one in Ningman Road, and their ornaments are very distinctive (Taobao occasionally buys them), and they are cheaper, ranging from RMB 4 to RMB 5, and you will always find the designs you like (each is handmade);

2.Dash restaurant?

This is a wooden restaurant with fresh decoration. It is relatively large, with two floors and a courtyard. It serves both Chinese and Western Thai food. It is recommended because the boss is a half-blood fat boy who speaks fluent Chinese. It is said that his grandfather is Cantonese and the other half is American Jew. It is like listening to cross talk when you communicate with him. Moreover, he is talkative and knows the etiquette of advancing and retreating. It is a very interesting experience.

Finally, add: Don't go to Ningman Road if you can.

We took great pains to get there by car from the ancient city, and we also caught the rush hour traffic? Jam, but it's just a tourist street. Although cafes and small shops look petty, they are just for tourists. It's quite boring.
