Chiang Mai - Thailand
Chiang Mai is such a lovely city in the north of Thailand, a 1.15 minute flight from Bangkok. You can easily fill a 3 to 5 days in or around the city. There are many temples to see inside the city walls. We visited Wat Phra Singh Woramahaviharn, Wat Chedi Luang Worawihan and Wat Chiang Man. You can also take a trip to Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, about half an hour away from the city. Go for a stroll around Nimmanhaemin Road Area. There are great cafe's and boutique style shops. Or visit the Elephant Foundation to buy one of the many beautiful painted elephants, or make your own. For us the highlight was a cycling trip through the Lanna countryside. We were quiet an attraction as they had never seen a 1 year old (sleeping) on the back of a bike.
