| | CHIANG MAI SIGHTS & ATTRACTIONS | | 2007-12-24 00:03:00 | | The SightsThe city's temples:Wat Phra Singh (1345) - Lanna-style masterpiece. Wat Phra Singh is easy to visit as it is right in the center of Chiang Mai city, located on the corner of Singharat and Ratchadamnoen Rd road. Wat Phra Singh was built inside the old city walls at a time when Chiang Mai was the capital of the northern Thai Lanna or Lan Na kingdom. The wat was originally built in 1345. It may have simply been a stupa erected by a king (and descendant of the great Mangrai) to honour his father. The stupa still stands, but most of the buildings you see on the site today are of much more recent vintage. There are three main buildings, namely the Stupa, Viharn Lai Kam, and Haw Trai.Wat Chiang Man - built by the city's founder, King Mengrai. Located within the walls of the old city, near the Chang Puak gate, Chiang Man is the oldest temple in Chiang Mai. It was supposedly built by the founder of the city 700 years ago, King Mengrai, on the spot where he stayed while planning his new capital. It's a small temple, and not on the main tourist trail, but it was important for quite some time.Getting There: Wat Chiang Man is on Ratchaphakhinai Road near where it intersects Sri Phum Road, which runs just inside the moat along the north wall of the old city. The closest "landmark" to Wat Chiang Man is the Thai Airways office on Phrapokklao Road. Walk down the small street next to the office and turn left at the next main street. The temple will be on your left.Wat Chedi Luang (1401) - Wat Chedi Luang must have been the most impressive temple in Chiang Mai. Built about 600 years ago, the huge chedi which gave the temple its name (the name of the temple translates to "royal pagoda") must have soared high above the surrounding city.Getting There: Wat Chedi Luang is on Prapokklao Road which runs roughly through the north-south center line of the old city, from Changpuak Gate to Chaing Mai Gate. The temple is just a short walk south of the intersection with the main east- | | By: The Best Of Asia | | |
| | CHIANG MAI -Thailand | | 2007-12-23 20:43:00 | | Population: 500,000Area Code: (66) 53Chiang Mai is less worldly, and takes itself less seriously, than the 'City of Angels'. Even its name, the 'New City', belies its long independent history as the capital of the Lanna Kingdom, the 'Land of a Million Rice Fields'. Cradled between the mountains and the Mekong river and separated from the Central Plains by dense jungle, it took the arrival of the railway to end seven centuries of isolation interrupted mainly by marauding Burmese and Siamese armies. Chiang Mai's cool climate and exuberant Songkran Festival have made it a favorite dry-season refuge for Bangkokians ever since. Of late, the tickle of holidaymakers has been swollen by a tidal wave of businessmen and investor whose factories seem about to engulf the tranquil teak houses. Long a trading center for local rice farmers. Chiang Mai's industry reminds mostly on a small scale even today. The outlying villages eke out an existence with cottage-style handicrafts: silk weaving, lacquerware, wood carving, silverware, ceramics and umbrellas. Adding an aura of mystery are the Hill Tribe women from the secret valleys along the Burmese border. Chiang Mai rewards the exploring visitor with corners of exquisite beauty. Tiered wooden temples with carved gables and airy pavilions line the dusty streets. nearby are flower gardens, waterfalls, misty hilltops, and Doi Suthep, the city's magic mountain. And everywhere you are greeted by the winning of the nation's pretties girls.How to get thereBy Bus - The 10-hour journey from Bangkok can be made on air-conditioned coaches and non-air-conditioned buses originating from the Northern Bus Terminal on Bangkok's Kamphaeng Phet 2 Road.By Air- Thai Airways operates daily flights from Bangkok and other northern Thai cities.By Rail - The State Railways of Thailand operates daily services from Bangkok's Hualamphong Railway Station, including a popular overnight sleeper.* Thailand* Chiang Mai* Chiang Mai sights & Attractio | | By: The Best Of Asia | | |

| | The Lanna Spa at The Regent Chiang Mai | | 2007-08-23 07:28:54 | | Sawadee kha (Hello)!Thai massage (nuat paen boran) is my favorite spa treatment. I always feel positively energized after having one. What better place to experience it than in the country this ancient massage originated? I had five Thai massages during my visit to Thailand in June 2001. One of these was at the beautiful Lanna Spa at The Regent Chiang Mai in the northern mountains. In the following 60+ photos, you will see Lanna Spa therapists, Ms. Kanchana and Ms. Nutcacharin, demonstrate a Thai massage in the Lanna Spa's the open-air penthouse, the Lann Chang Suite.

| | Sunday Market in Chiang Mai | | 2007-01-15 15:11:47 | | As part of my recent tour of Thailand, I went to Chiang Mai to celebrate the new year and I had a leisure time to stroll a walking street in Chiang Mai during my stay.
You will see lively vendors hawk their glittering wares, as the 'plink-plink' of street musicians, and aromatic medley of blooming flowers, pounded shrimp paste, and sweet coconut, waft through the warm, evening air. An amble through Chiang Mai's thriving Sunday Market is a sensual assault, unique retail therapy opportunity, and fascinating lesson in Northern Thai culture rolled into one!
Winding down Ratchadamnern Road in the quaint 'Old City' district, this popular local market is a showcase of quality handicrafts and delicacies from all corners of the Northern provinces. Every Sunday evening, from 2 pm-10 pm, the stretch becomes a traffic-free zone, allowing vendors, buskers and bargain hunters to converge but, me, I came here to find something to eat and buy some local souvenirs at a good price for my friends.
Colorful stalls line the way, offering a vast array of northern products, and a far more authentic experience than the city's touristy night bazaar. The soft greens and blues of celadon ceramic, the colorful embroidery of hand-woven hill tribe fabrics, the intricate, shimmering work of Chiang Mai's talented silversmiths - All are up for grabs, but don't forget to bargain!
Hungry shoppers have plenty of refreshment options along the way. Northern cuisine is the order of the day, with street hawkers serving up heaped plates of som-tam (spicy papaya salad), sticky rice, steaming spicy sausage, crispy pork rind and other tasty local treats. A trip to the market is also a chance to indulge in a bowl of the city's trademark Khao Soi, a delicious dish of flat egg noodles, served in a hearty soup. Khao Soi is one of my favorite dishes.
