Travel to Chiang Mai, Thailand

 

If you’re traveling to Southeast Asia, you have to check out the charms of Chiang Mai. Located in Northern Thailand amidst the mountains and jungle, a trip here is a perfect break from bustling Bangkok. When we traveled here during our honeymoon, we fell in love with the people, the amazing food, and great adventures to be had in and around the city. So today, we’re talking all about travel to Chiang Mai, Thailand!

We’re getting into all of the best places to stay, where to go, things to do, where to eat and drink, and so much more! We ended up spending 4-5 days in Chiang Mai exploring the ins and outs of the city itself as well as took a couple of great day trips.
