Discover the attractions in Chiang Mai
What attractions in Chiang Mai can be discovered in the north of Thailand? A trip to the north of Thailand is definitely worth it. First, you should know that it is much cooler there than in the south. I noticed the fresh 12 ° C in the early morning on our trip to the mountain after it was already too late. The arrival by bus from Pattaya to Chiang Mai were very cool.

The city park in Chiang Mai
In the middle of the city there is a very nice city park. Suan Buak Haad City Park is open from 4:00 in the morning until 9:00 in the evening. In the city park you can feed fish and pigeons. There are sports equipment in the park, where you can train for free. On the beautiful lawn you can relax comfortably. For the children there is a playground on one side of the city park.
Ox-carriage ride
On some day trips, oxcart rides are also available. So two oxen are connected to a cart. Of course, there is also a parasol for the tourists. Our coach ride went a bit through the National Park in Chiang Mai. During the trip we were able to feed the oxen with bananas and take pictures.
Bamboo Rafting
On the river in Chiang Mai we rafted during our day trip. The bamboo raft is a simple boat made of bamboo wood, which is tied together to form a raft. During our trip I was allowed to drive the raft once. I have to say that the short time as a captain was a lot of fun. However, controlling the bamboo raft with a bamboo paddle is very tiring. On our way we passed a small waterfall that flowed into the river. We also drove through a few smaller rapids.
