class = "KonaBody"> <div <p> Chiang Mai is the second largest city of Thailand and is considered the capital of northern Thailand. Golden temples decorated chedis abound.The environment is very nice and the pace of life is slow, to say the least. This can not be said of the market, however, the pace here is more frenetic.Northern Thailand Travel experience. </ P> If possible, take a local resident with Northern Thai you shop, you get a price much more satisfactory. There is no doubt a price of a two-tier structure for residents and for visitors. </ P> All goods will be exposed to the night bazaar were manufactured in the villages around Chiang Mai. The handicraft villages such as Baan Tawai BORSANG and represent excellent value for its own account, but if time is a factor limiting the Night Bazaar showcases all jobs available in the region. </ P> In addition there is in the night bazaar are many bars and restaurants where you can quench your thirst and rest your feet. All prices are reasonable and leisure offer, which makes the north of Chiang Mai Thailand tourist destinations more attractive. </ P> At some distance from the city on the road to Doi Suthep <strong> </ strong> is the zoo in Chiang Mai. A popular day in Chiang Mai, surrounded by woods and spectacular waterfalls. Feeding alligators is always a popular show, but throughout the zoo, you can see all kinds of mammals, reptiles and birds, all in natural environments. </ P> E 'very tiring to walk around the zoo, if you want to see everything, but they have a mini-bus you can jump on to get from one point to a low cost. </ P> Chiang Mai offers many hotels, budget through luxury Sheraton Hotel Chiang Mai. </ P> Something worth remembering is that most hotels have a daily rate of the room and also a monthly rate. You should be more than two weeks in the city is certainly worth ascertaing the first daily rate. He was offered the daily rate, to investigate the monthly rate. </ P> In a hotel with a daily rate of 650baht, this represents a monthly rate of 20,000 baht. You'll be pleasantly surprised that the monthly rate will be approximately 7-8000baht. </ P> The result is an economy of 1000-2000baht cons daily rate. A period of two weeks means that each additional day is essentially free. </ P> The only difference in service is that the leaves will not be changed once or twice a week and same goes for cleaning the rooms good. I suggest a small sacrifice. </ P> south of Chiang Mai Lamphun <strong> </ strong>, at home in northern Thailand Trading Estate, which creates jobs in many multinational companies, names that could be immediately recognizable to most visitors. <strong> Lamphun, </ strong> also has its own moat and several historic temples. Lamphun is the original capital city of the kingdom Haripunchai old. </ P> Further south, along the road eleven years, is <strong> Lampang </ strong>, another city that attracts tourists for its important temples. </ P> No temple near Kho Ka Hang Chat. His claim to fame is that it was the original home of the Emerald Buddha. The Buddha has been stolen by early monarchs and now resides in the Grand Palais in Campania (Bangkok, you and me). </ P> Weapons Marks of time can be seen clearly in stone around the Chedi and the game is the great battle that took place. The temple timber still exists today and is visited with great respect by the faithful. </ P> A city to visit is <strong> Chiang Rai. </ strong> You'll need to drive north of Chiang Mai and you will eventually find the pic separate <strong> Chiang Dao </ strong> – another summit have a very strong beautiful complex of caves there. </ P> Further north, you can leave the main road and travel through the mountain passes to <strong> Doi Angkhang </ strong> – one of the last true wilderness in Thailand before the hills of Myanmar to extend to you. </ P> Another important choice is to continue to Tha Ton, here you can board a raft trip through the night for older <strong> northern Thai city of Chiang Rai </ strong> . Much calmer and more of Chiang Mai, but, well preserved and presented. </ P> With the defeat of the South is left <strong> Lampang </ strong> towards the hill to another beautiful city <strong> Phayao, </ strong> Via <strong> Ngao <, / strong>, which is located at the foot of the hills that must be crossed. I can testify from personal experience that is very exciting to travel this route by bus. The drivers do not seem to accept that others may use the road. Surely everyone on the road is also out of their way. </ P> You know when you've reached <strong> Phayao </ strong> under the vast expanse of water on your left. There is a temple situated on the lake, which must vote as one of the most peaceful places on earth. </ P> Past <strong> Phayao </ strong> the main road swings north and finally between <strong> Chiang </ strong> <strong> Rai </ strong> in the south. Farther north, about 30 km, it is <strong> Mae Sai </ strong>, whose claim to fame is being the northernmost point of Thailand. The so-called Freedom Bridge marks the border between Thailand and Myanmar. </ P> Personally, I do not think the people of Myanmar to consider it as a bridge to freedom as the military keeps them firmly in Myanmar. </ P> to switch NorthernThailand in Myanmar, however, is undoubtedly an experience not to be missed. Immiediately across the bridge is a market that is a hotbed of smuggling and economic development of all colors. <br /> </ P> </ div>
