Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai

By abushell | Published on December 10, 2025

Situated in Northern Thailand, an hour flight from Bangkok or Phuket, it offers a calm jungle atmosphere.

Yi Peng & Loy Krathong

  

We were lucky enough to be in Chiang Mai for the Loy Krathong and Chiang Mai (floating lights) festivals and they were beautiful. For anyone looking to stay a long time, they are on 25th November 2026.

Doi Suthep

  

Offering both sunrise and sunset options, the tour up to Doi Suthep, which normally includes a few other stops like ‘the jungle temple’ is very worth waking up early or staying up late for. 

Cafe’s & Night Markets

  

There is an abundance of cafes all offering interesting flavours of teas and snacks. On Sunday's there is a busy night market full of wonders.
