Because of all the great islands in the South one often forgets the North of Thailand, which provides a breathtaking nature and awaits with many cultural places and interesting stories. Chiang Mai is a city in the North and the perfect jump off point for all adventures, which are waiting in this area. The city itself is also very interesting as it was built as a nearly perfect square and all the roads follow this pattern. Hotels and hostels can be found inside and outside the city and offer cheap bedrooms. But what to do when the nearest beach is some thousand kilometers away? The most popular trips and activities are trekking trips through the jungle, elephant riding, rafting or other sports. Furthermore one can visit a lot of villages where traditional Thai people live, for example the “Long Necks”. They stretch their neck witch heavy rings to follow their beauty ideal.
In Chiang Mai there are some temples that are worth a visit or one can try a Chai cooking course. It doesn’t matter what you are doing, the North is a great region totally different from the South
