Chiang Mai is a great location, a relaxed environment, low prices

on almost everything, a temple or pagoda every 100 m - in the old town, within the moat and the partly still existing city wall - .

A vibrant nightlife on certain parts of the city, great restaurants, great shopping, a free Thai classic dance show at the night bazaar, adventure and action in the north of the city and so on, read on and enjoy the great pictures.

All the Chiang Mai Pagoda and Temple pictures below were taken left and right of Ratchadamnoen Rd. the main road crossing the once fortified old city, still showing some old city wall fragments and gates plus a moat around old Chiang Mai. I stayed in the Chiang Mai Montri Hotel on the corner of the Ratchadamnoen Rd and city wall, the hotel is very well organized and people are very friendly, plus its very economic. You will find plenty of
Chiang Mai photos and pictures on this page, for Chiang Mai videos have a look in the video section.

Around the hotels are plenty of Chiang Mai travel agents offering everything tourist related, including Thai food cooking classes. But strange, no city sightseeing tour, it looks to me as if they don't want to walk, since within the old Chiang Mai city limit all can be reached by a short walk. They also offer motorbikes, bicycle and cars for rent, a small motorbike -100 cc- is about Baht 150,- per day -negotiable-.

Tours are offered into Chiang Mai's "hinterland" like Doi Suthep and Doi Inthanon, Doi Inthanon is northern northern Thailand's highest peak and a very popular destination among Thai people.

A very popular tour is to visit one of the elephant camps, beside the road to the north, and do a elephant and a bamboo raft ride, more on this see below. Other tourist attractions are a visit to a monkey and cobra show, do trekking, rafting, inclusive bamboo rafting.

There is also a flight connection between Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son.

The fabulous night bazaar and shopping - shopping - shopping.

There is no town on earth and between earth and the moon with this kind of shopping paradise, ..“the mother of all night market” told by Lonely Planet..

The Chiang Mai night bazaar is somehow in the middle of the city, just behind the tall hotels and easily reach by a tuk tuk for Baht 40,-.

Chiang Mai Food and Restaurant at the night Bazaar

Here you will find all kinds of foods, handicrafts, artwork, textiles and other items from the region. There are plenty of bargains, keep in mind, no haggle, no fun. Plenty of so called antiques are on display, but, they are fakes almost all the times.

The night bazaar is just behind the high rise hotels and has not only shopping to offer. Several huge open air restaurants grouped around several food markets are at service, more on the following pages.

The food markets cater for almost every taste, all is served in a clean environment.

Thai music wobbling through the air and on the huge stage Thai classic dancing is performed, This integration on such a huge scale is really “well done”, but before you arrive there you must push your way through hundreds, maybe thousands -nobody know, as usual in northern northern Thailand.

It wont matter anyway, because its great. There are the Indian Sikhs, Singapore Chinese and the groups from mainland China, Japanese guys, all kind of Farang, Pakistani, Arabs with women gliding like black covered mummies, totally invisible.

A real great contrast are all the beautiful Thai girls and ladies who have no shy to show that they are real pretty. Actually Thai women have a high level of emancipation and the Thai guys and other have enough self confidence in relation with the women.

Ask any Thai working here where she or he come from, likely they will tell ..“from Isaan” the remote north eastern corner of northern northern Thailand with the highest amount of population and as usual in such a constellation also the highest amount of poor people in the Kingdom.

Silk production in Thailand is a multistep process. The native Thai silk moth is very well adapted to tropical conditions.

This Thai silk moth is polyvoltine, meaning it can produce at least ten batches of eggs each year.

They hand reel the silk from the Thai moth from green cocoons.

These silk cocoons still contain the live pupae. The pupae from these cocoons are not killed before being reeled because that would make reeling very difficult. What they do is they place the green cocoons in hot, almost boiling water.

This process loosens the end of the thread. They only have about 10 days to finish this process before the moths come out and ruins the cocoon.

Many times, the workers run out of time. This limits the scale of the industry and partially explains why silk is so expensive. The most experience workers usually only produce about 300 kg per day.
