Hello everyone, today we will be reviewing Chiang Mai. It has been about 7 years since our last visit, and we are curious to see how things have changed. We will be exploring the city without a set plan, and we will see what we can find along the way.

The journey began with skipping school. We left Phetchaburi on the afternoon of December 3rd, taking a van to the Southern Bus Terminal. We then transferred to a bus that dropped us off at the Airport Rail Link station, where we caught the train to Suvarnabhumi Airport. Just getting started, and the transfers were already exciting! Our hearts were pounding as we wondered if we would make it on time. We arrived at the airport at 4:30 PM, with our flight scheduled for 5:15 PM. And off we went, our journey had finally begun!


Waiting patiently, the time is almost here. ^^

Please provide a sentence or phrase for me to translate.

Let's go! Let's go out and have some fun. "Smiling so much that my mouth is about to tear, I'm so happy!"

We fly in the evening, the sun will be very beautiful. The atmosphere of the sun setting back to the clouds.

Across the street, the moon is huge and beautiful.

We landed in Chiang Mai at 6:30 PM. We were a bit confused as we exited the airport because, as I mentioned, we hadn't planned anything. After about 10 minutes of looking around, we decided to call a taxi. The fare was 150 baht, and we headed to our accommodation.

This is our accommodation, Casa Marocc Hotel, a boutique hotel decorated in Arabic style, located just 4 kilometers from the airport. The hotel is situated on the riverside road of Chiang Mai.

We have arrived at our accommodation. Let's check in first.


Upon arriving at our accommodation, we were tempted to simply collapse onto the bed and rest. However, it being Sunday, we had plans to visit the Tha Pae Walking Street. Located just 1.2 kilometers from our lodging, we pondered how best to reach it. A quick inquiry at the reception desk would provide the answer.

The receptionist called me an Uber.

The Uber arrived promptly at the hotel entrance. The driver, a friendly woman, was delighted to hear it was my first Uber ride.

Upon arriving at Tha Pae Gate, we were immediately struck by the bustling crowds, much like seven years ago. The area offers a variety of paths to explore, lined with vendors selling food, handcrafted art, and other goods. However, our attention was particularly captured by a charming umbrella vendor who spoke in the local dialect, adding to the authentic atmosphere.

We haven't eaten anything since morning, so we're here to eat.

The sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

Let's stop by to pay respects to the Buddha.

After a satisfying meal, we embarked on a journey to find a bar. We consulted a map and set off on foot, covering a distance of over 3 kilometers. Despite the fatigue and lengthy walk, we persevered and reached Woods Bar, Rooftop 12 Fl. at 11:00 PM. The bar was scheduled to close at midnight. We learned that this establishment served as both a bar and an art gallery.


Upon arriving at the kitchen, it was already closed. The bar was also closing, and there was no artwork on display. It seems there's nothing to do but sit and enjoy the cool breeze.

The first night is over. On the way back, we downloaded an app to call an Uber. We didn't have to wait even 5 minutes before the driver arrived.

Good night from Chiang Mai. Let's continue our exploration tomorrow.

Good morning! We had breakfast at the hotel and inquired about transportation at the counter. We learned that there are vans available to take us to various mountains, but the prices are quite high. However, there is another option: riding a motorbike ourselves. The rental fee is reasonable, and we only need to pay for the fuel we use. So, we decided to rent a motorbike and explore the area. We agreed on a one-day rental for 350 baht, and the fuel cost less than 100 baht.

Our first destination is Mae Kampong, located approximately 58 kilometers away. Let's embark on our journey!

The blue 125cc motorcycle, a trusty companion, is ready for any adventure. But where to go next? 5555

The original text describes a motorcycle journey, mentioning:

  • Following Google Maps directions.
  • Reaching a steep, narrow road.
  • Switching riders.
  • Enjoying the ride on familiar, winding roads.

Here's the translated text:

We followed Google Maps and arrived at a steep, narrow road. We switched riders and continued on familiar, winding roads, enjoying the ride as if we were back home.

Let's explore the wonders of Mae Kampong and discover what makes it such a popular destination.

Purchased out of curiosity, a 20 baht "wild egg" (ไข่ป่าม). It resembles steamed egg but is grilled instead of steamed. Deliciously warm and fragrant.

The sentence is in Thai and translates to:

A famous shop that everyone visits, we also come here.

A cozy coffee shop with delicious coffee and a wonderful atmosphere. Let me tell you, Mae Kampong is incredibly cold!

The following is a translation of the provided text from Thai to English:

After we had finished walking around and eating, we rode our motorbike down from Mae Kampong. Then we continued on to Doi Suthep.

The distance from Mae Kampong to Doi Suthep is approximately 66 kilometers. We had a blast riding our bikes today. On the way to Doi Suthep, we passed Chiang Mai University and Chiang Mai Zoo. We stopped for a quick selfie and then continued on our way, fearing that it would get dark before we reached Doi Suthep.

The road up Doi Suthep is said to be challenging, but we found it manageable. In our opinion, the road to Mae Kampong is much more difficult, being both narrower and steeper. The road to Doi Suthep is wider and more comfortable to ride on.

Along the way, there are also waterfalls to enjoy.

Upon arriving by car, we ascended the 306 steps. It was undeniably tiring, but we persevered!

This place is very crowded with many adorable children from the hill tribes with rosy cheeks. Oh, and if you're going to worship at the Phra That, they will provide you with a sarong, so don't worry if you're wearing shorts.

Let's go home.


We planned to take photos at the flower garden behind Chiang Mai University, but we couldn't find it, so we went to find food instead. It was a very reasonable decision.

This evening, on the 2nd, let's find something delicious to eat in the city center. The first restaurant, due to our hunger, is...


A must-try for visitors to Chiang Mai, Nimmanhaemin's renowned Kua Gai restaurant.

After a savory meal, satisfy your sweet tooth at the neighboring I BERRY.

As dusk settles, we find ourselves still wide awake. Our next stop: the bustling Night Bazaar. What's on the agenda? Food, of course!

We strolled around, looking for silverware to buy on a chilly night, and then we snuck off to have some spicy hotpot.


And then it was time to return to our accommodation. Our accommodation was approximately 1.2 kilometers away from our current location. However, it took us over an hour to find it. Why? We got lost. Google Maps led us on a wild goose chase, circling around and returning us to the same spot. We ended up having to ask for directions back to the hotel, which was actually less than a 10-minute ride away. Exhausted and disoriented, we decided to call it a night right there.

Good morning. Where should we go today? Let's have breakfast and then think about it.

In the morning, we called to extend the car rental. The kind owner agreed to extend it for another half day for a small additional fee. We planned to book our return bus tickets first, as we hadn't bought our return flight tickets yet. We figured we could go anywhere, as long as we had a car to get back.

Let's book the bus tickets.

We arrived back in Phetchaburi at 7:30 PM. Now that we're relieved, let's continue our trip.


We continued our journey to Mon Cham, eager to experience its renowned charm. The distance from our current location was approximately 57 kilometers, a relatively short distance.

The journey was not too difficult, and there were many things to stop and see along the way. We stopped so much that we lost track of time, and we ran out of time for the day.

Come see the fresh strawberries and taste the delicious ice cream.

Let's stop by the waterfall for a bit longer.

As we continued our journey, the road gradually became steeper and narrower, indicating that our destination was approaching.

Here is Mon Cham, it's so crowded!

Let's soak in the view.



The beauty of the flowers rivals the stunning views here. They are truly magnificent, and I could gaze at them all day without tiring.

As a child, we called it "luk chom" (a type of Thai dessert). It was my first time trying it, and it was a strange but interesting experience.

The grilled food from the auntie was incredibly delicious. It was the only sai oua I had during my visit to Chiang Mai, and it only cost 10 baht.

After taking a deep breath of fresh air, it's time to head down from the mountain.

The original text is in Thai and describes a situation where someone is willing to travel a significant distance (35 kilometers) for good food. They emphasize their dedication to enjoying delicious meals by stating, "We can always ride our motorbike for food. Remember that."

Here's the translated text in English:

We can always ride our motorbike for 35 kilometers just to enjoy delicious food. Remember that.

We arrived with trepidation, unsure if we would find a seat. Thankfully, we did, and soon after, we were ordering our food. The arched bridge was a sight to behold. Our dishes were enormous, and the food was incredibly delicious. As I write this review, I'm still hungry and craving another bite. Highly recommended!

After a fulfilling day of sightseeing and a satisfying meal, it was time to return. We rode our motorbike back to our accommodation to return the vehicle and collect our luggage. Bidding farewell to the city, we arrived at our hotel at 5:00 PM and promptly returned the motorbike. However, a new challenge arose: how to reach the bus station. We attempted to hail an Uber once more, but this time, our destination was the market to purchase souvenirs. Upon completing our shopping, we encountered another obstacle: our phone's internet connection had failed, rendering us unable to call for a ride. Feeling stranded, we stood for a while until a red songthaew (shared taxi) stopped and offered us a ride to the Arcade Bus Terminal. As the saying goes, "When in Chiang Mai, ride the red songthaew." And finally, we had the opportunity to experience it firsthand.

I quickly took a picture, which is why it turned out like this. As soon as I parked, the driver ran out.

Our car departed at 7:30 PM. We slept soundly the entire way due to extreme exhaustion. During our trip, we were solely focused on maximizing our time. Ultimately, it was truly worthwhile, making the journey a valuable experience.

We arrived in Phetchaburi at 7:30 AM and had to quickly shower and get dressed to continue working. 555 It was tiring, tough, and enduring, but we also enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun and we were very happy.

We'll meet again when the opportunity arises, Chiang Mai!

December has arrived, and the weather is starting to cool down. This three-day, two-night trip involved a variety of transportation modes, including vans, buses, trains, airplanes, taxis, Uber, motorbikes, and even a three-kilometer walk to a bar. The journey concluded with red buses and a tour bus, leaving only boat trips and cycling as the remaining modes of transportation to experience.

Enjoy the winter fun, riding in the cold, delicious food, good weather, lovely people. Mae Kampong is very cold, Mon Cham is lively. Thank you Casa Marocc Hotel for your hospitality.

Traveling so much that I want to tell my mom, "Mom! I've traveled so much that my salary isn't enough anymore."

Thank you for your continued support. If there are any mistakes, please forgive me.
