Beautiful Chiang Mai. It’s hard not to feel relaxed in this city, with the mountains, fresh air and kind locals. The food is fresh and cheap, the transport simple (just walk, or borrow a bike) and on the outskirts of the city you have everything from cooking classes, to tiger and elephant farms, to meditation courses. I had high expectations of Chiang Mai, based on the advice of my friends, and I have not been disappointed. This city is a must for anyone visiting Thailand.
