Chiang Mai, the ‘Rose of the North’ where colorful culture and history coexist. Let’s start a journey where you lose track of time in downtown Chiang Mai. The first destination of the Chiang Mai tour is Tha Phae Gate, the entrance to the 13th century fortress! Watch the fun spectacle of feeding pigeons and calling them together to take staged photos, and then head to the alleys of Old Town.
In Chiang Mai, which is full of delicious restaurants and cafes, the most popular restaurant is Jar Samgyeopsal. The pork belly is placed in a charcoal jar, and the fat is drained before being dipped in spicy soy sauce. The crispy exterior and moist interior are everyone’s favorite flavors. Now that you’ve had your meal, it’s time to have some coffee. This cafe uses a millstone to remove the inner skin of the coffee beans, roasts them in a clay pot, and carefully brews coffee using a hand drip. Listen to the owner’s story about his dedication to environmental protection while drinking fragrant coffee.
Just a short trip from the city of Chiang Mai, you can find a lush forest. Visit Maetaeng Elephant Park & Clinic, which protects and treats elephants, meet an elephant painter who draws his own portrait, and have fun bathing a playful baby elephant.
Before we knew it, it was time to go out. At Huay Tueng Tao Reservoir, there is a restaurant that sells so-called dancing shrimp. They say it got its name because it looks like it is dancing as it is so fresh and flops around. What does Thai-style raw shrimp taste like?
Now it’s time to end the day. We drive up the steep road while standing in the pickup truck and arrive at Huay Kub Kab village in the Chiang Mai mountainous region and unpack. People buy Korean soju, which is the most popular in Thailand these days, and eat Thai grilled pork belly Mookata! The fog in the mountains that we encounter after spending the night is spectacular.
On the way back, we will experience thrilling aerial bikes and jungle roller coasters at Pong Yaeng, located in the northern mountainous area of Chiang Mai, and then head to Wat Chaloem Phrakiat Phrachomklao Rachanuson, located on a high rocky mountain. Many people visit this temple with fervent Buddhist faith, which took 10 years to build by carrying materials on their backs. We will end the trip by looking at the breathtakingly beautiful scenery on top of the rocky mountain.
