Locals - enjoying diner with you ! It was a joy to see this kid eating the italian pasta ! Chiang May (northern Thailand) in combination with " Chiang Rai (location of the "long neck" tradition is a topic when visiting Thailand. This area is the location of the "Mountain people" of Thailand Most of the time - after arriving in Bangkok - the second destination of Thailand (750km from BK and for backpackers - a train will bring you there).It is a paradise for lovers of nature - many excursions are organised - visiting the locals (long neck ladies )- elephant rides - this is paradise - but very touristic ! The hotel acco's are the best - the night markets are cheaper than BK Buy here your fake "Breitling" watch !! |
| Symbolic power in Thailand |
|  | Witness of power This is Asia - visiting Thailand or China - this statue and symbol of power and believes - you will find at many places ! |
Jungle trek Unavoidable in north Thailand - a trek by elephants through the jungle - the green lung of this country - and so different from "smokey" Bangkok. But please be well dressed for rainy conditions ! It is a rain forest you will visit !! The umbrella should be first listed on your packing list ! |  | |

| Pros: | "Chiang Mai is the jungle and green lung of Thailand" | | Cons: | "It's raining most of the time" | | In A Nutshell: | "An adventure !!" |

starship Thu Aug 27, 2009 01:31 UTC Must have been a fascinating trip though not with very good weather. Hope to visit here some day. | volopolo Fri Nov 23, 2007 14:03 UTC i like your picture | Myndo Thu Apr 26, 2007 15:56 UTC I agree that the area around Chiang Mai is not (yet) so touristily overcrowded as Phuket. It seems we had the better weather than you. Love your pictures! | bpacker Thu Dec 28, 2006 03:14 UTC Hi Luc, I probably said this before, but you take excellent pictures!
