Crazy "Bike" Tour in Chiang Mai

  Chiang Mai , located in the northern part of Thailand , a quaint small town, not much scenery, there are many stories.
I can’t say where it’s particularly good, but after coming here, it will make people feel unforgettable~ I
never thought that this simple town would leave me with so many memories~

Tickets: AirAsia promotional time to buy, Macau - Chiang Mai , in fact, not particularly cheap, about two baggage drive package costs about 1300 yuan - but compared to Guangzhou direct flights to Chiang Mai , Of course, it is a lot of cost-effective
visas: TB is easy and convenient, it seems to be about 260~ (Original passport (valid for more than 6 months), 2 two-inch color photos)
Hotel: All are booked on Booking , yes Free cancellation in advance, you can pay at the store~
Tickets: direct bus from Guangzhou - Zhuhai Hengqin-Garden Hotel, 65 yuan per person~
Insurance: The 7-day Meiya insurance purchased by TB is actually a peace of mind, and going out is safe for foreign affairs ~
Phone card: TB bought a Happy card, 7 days of unlimited data, and 100 minutes of domestic and local calls. It’s fine for multiple people to open a hotspot for sharing, but sometimes it will disconnect~
Bank card: Huaxia Bank savings card overseas withdrawals free sum every day, but I was in Chiang Mai withdrawals or to pay a fee, it should be the relationship between the different local bank ATM's, do not want to take so much money in the body can handle one, it does not matter In fact, it’s the most cost-effective to change the Thai baht here (ICBC’s exchange rate is still good)
Tips: Regarding the customs clearance that is often discussed online, you must bring a currency equivalent to 4000rmb. I feel that this is not the case. You don’t need to bring the visa on arrival. The customs staff is very nice and welcomes you with a smile. If you happen to be checked, the RP is really a problem~
Regarding souvenirs, dried durians, dried mangos and other dried fruits are the most bought at Warorot Market It's a bargain. There is absolutely nothing cheaper than buying here. Other small accessories can be bought in the night market. Remember to bargain. If you have good skills, you can usually bargain half of the price.

chose three B & B, the first is inside the ancient city Inn Oon Chiang Mai Home ( Austria An Chiang Mai Hotel ), it only cost 20B per person to take a double car from the airport to the hotel, super cost-effective ~ the location is also good, just near the Chedi Luang Temple. When I looked at the pictures, I really liked the style of the hotel and the tasteful design. The house was designed by the proprietress herself. It was clean and tidy. It was very comfortable to live in. I regretted that I didn’t live here for 6 days. It was on Ningman Road. I also chose a hotel opened by a Chinese. I thought of tears. We stayed here for 3 nights. The total cost was RMB630, which was not too expensive. The room has mosquito nets, two bottles of free mineral water a day, and there is a kitchen refrigerator downstairs, you can simply have breakfast. Remember to have two extra quilts with the boss, the temperature difference between morning and night in the ancient city is too big, and it will be very cold at night. This hotel is recommended by five stars, it is really good! ! ! 

The second home is in Pai of Baan Pai Nai Wieng (thanks to Nevin House), location in Pai alley night market, the night market is very convenient, very quiet at night. This hotel provides free breakfast, which is very rich, with bread, soup noodles, rice, and coffee. The price is very high, we stayed for two nights, about RMB450. It’s really cold in the ancient city, come Paixian learned how to master, immediately asked the proprietress for two blankets to sleep comfortably at night, here at night it is colder than the ancient city~ the room is very clean, provides free water and a kettle, and there is a balcony at the door where you can dry clothes. Great! ! !

The third one is Wow' House (Wow' House) on Nimman Road. I originally wanted to say that it would be more convenient to communicate with my compatriots. I regret it when I arrive! ! ! The room was not clean, the garbage was confiscated after a few days of staying, not to mention the cleaning up of the room, the most basic sanitation was not done well, it was really speechless. The room is facing the road, and there are bars nearby. There are people singing downstairs in the middle of the night. It is very noisy~ I fell from heaven to hell in an instant, and I will never stay in a hotel run by a Chinese again when I go abroad. Back home, I tried my best to go out, a bit disappointing, but the food on Nimman Road still saved our hearts~ too many delicious things.

We used motorcycles throughout this trip. I am a person who can't even ride a bicycle. I borrowed photos every time, hahaha. The little friend is a veritable car god! ! !

The ancient city of temples are numerous, motorbike perimeter, more than a dozen large and small, at least - I think the most special is Paxin Temple, Wat Chedi Luang, Wat Chiang Man, the other could not tell silly    

He was candid photo shoot is out, the sun is too sinister, and had to hide in the shade photographed ~  

There are so many pigeons, you can buy feed to feed the pigeons~

 92 Rachadamnoen came to Chiang Mai 's first meal - chose a restaurant near the B & B, in the ancient city Rachadamnoen the road, and Chiang Mai 
The police stations are not far apart. The dishes are mainly Thai food, as well as grilled food. We ordered pineapple fried rice, tuna salad, coconut milk chicken soup, stir-fried macaroni. They all tasted pretty good, and they were large, so we must order them. I also ordered a steak for my own desires, but unfortunately it was not as delicious as I imagined. The meat is very hard. I always adhere to the spirit of diners. Even if my English is poor, I still insist on reacting to the boss. After communication, the chef admitted the steak. There was a problem with the selection of meat quality. I made a steak for us again. This time the product is very good. The important thing is their attitude, which makes me feel at home.

 Coffee Lovers ’ breakfast the next day, I went to the breakfast shop introduced by the owner of the hotel, and ordered a scrambled egg meal with freshly squeezed orange juice. I wanted to drink some hot soup, so I ordered a soup powder with hot milk, a total of 200 multi-B, for Chiang Mai prices is not cheap ~ wins in a comfortable environment, sitting leisurely enjoy the good morning or good drop ~ came to Chiang Mai, most water is not used to give money, usually glass or A bottle of 10B, and there is no boiled water to drink, after a few days you can feel that they seem to like to drink ice water~ 

 Sailomjoy is located in Thapae Gate, next to Black Canyon Coffee. It is only open until 4 in the afternoon and is closed at night. The store is small and not very eye-catching, but the products are very good and delicious, so we also ate two meals here. It can be said that it is the best Thai restaurant in the ancient city~ Although the portion is not large, it is also It’s very true that every noon is full of guests~ recommended must-order dishes: "Kai Shui", which is Chiang Mai Noodle, half of the noodles are fried and half soft. The taste is more special. The soup is curry soup. A little sweet, delicious, the price is about 50B ~ Zhitianjiao minced pork rice, if you like spicy food, it's cool! The poached egg on the top is heart-wrenching, and the egg yolk flows out when you poke it. It is mixed with rice and eaten with chili and vegetables. The price is about 60B. You can add different meats~~ Mango sticky rice, good delicious, I must mention we often say Thailand 






The rice is delicious, I don’t feel it at all when I come here, but the glutinous rice in the mango sticky rice is mixed with coconut milk. It is very sticky and a bit chewy. With fresh mango, it is really delicious. It is also good to eat on a hot day with ice cream. The vanilla flavor is usually 50B, and the ice cream seems to be 80B. It is cost-effective~ I was
curious about Thai Tea and ordered a cup, it is sweet, no milk or tea flavor, personally Think so~

 We's Restaurant is a restaurant in a small alley in the ancient city. It is estimated that you can't find it without navigation. When we arrived, there were a lot of crooked nuts drinking beer. Almost all were filled. The owner was also a crooked nut. , I also raised a gluttonous Labrador ~ always spinning around at our table, and then we hurried away, and saw the dishes on the other table, immediately moved the position, hahaha~ this restaurant serves authentic northern Thai cuisine, So the taste is very spicy~ The serving is very slow, and the stomach is screaming~ The Tom Yum Soup is very good, I drank a bowl alone, hahaha~ The lemon fish is relatively sweet, I don’t know why did not remove the scales, points ah ~ green curry fried rice sincerity to make, although very spicy, but eat up so cool, not rice Guangdong fried rice capsules clear, relatively thick, which has chicken, pineapple, baby corn, etc., The material is full, great! ! ! This meal is about 450B, which is compared to the price of the sky 

Booked in advance on the micro AYA letter of Chiang Rai day tour (Baimiao + Black Temple), and other online day group compared what the price is not expensive, the car is more comfortable seat 12 people, per person 650B, as well as noon Meal included, 15 minutes stay in the hot spring, 2 hours in the White Temple, 1 hour in the Black Temple, enough time to finish, I will return to the ancient city at about 5 o'clock in the evening, don't need to pay any deposit, just pay on the bus. Personally, it is quite recommended. Some people may think that the drive is very long, but when you actually see the White Temple, you will feel that everything is worth it!!!~

Bubble feet, drive away the cold, the whole person is better~~~

 Baimiao - white, pure, spotless - white temple is Thailand's well-known artists, architects, painters Charlermchai Kositpipat the design and supervision of construction, is the artist gave poetry Jili Queen gifts. The construction of this temple began in 1998, and it is planned to complete it in 60 years. It has not yet been completed. There is a shallow pool of clear water in front of the Baimiao temple, and a few small fish sway comfortably. To enter the Baimiao you need to cross a covered bridge. The designer's intention is to express the Buddhism's spirit of compassion for all sentient beings. The most common four-faced Buddha in Thailand , here is a refreshing interpretation in white. Walking to the middle of the bridge, the pool outside has a Western style. Thousands of arms waved under the bridge, struggling, crying, and confessing. The fallen souls in hell are waiting to be redeemed by the various demons and ghosts hanging from the trees, as if they are admonishing the world to be kind to others and not to do anything to harm nature.   

Lunch is settled in the restaurant next door to the White Temple. Each person has a card, which contains 80B, and a bowl of noodles is 50B. You can also buy a drink, the taste is not bad~

The designer of the Black Temple is Thawan Duchanee, who spent 36 years gradually designing and building it. The entire black temple and its architectural complex form a huge open, garden-style private art museum. It is said that the designer of the White Temple was his disciple.
The black temple is mainly made of teak wood, the main body is black, and the top is covered with yellow tiles. The eaves and corner decorations are all constructed with pointed and long bends, and various sculptures of ancient demons appear on the building.
Displayed inside are all animal bones, slaughter tools, sacrificial supplies, specimens, furs, elephant bones, air-dried snake specimens, cow skulls, etc., collected by Thawan Duchanee from various periods, some even thousands of years ago. Things, they are displayed in various exhibition rooms, and they are transformed into bone seats and fur-like pendulums by the designer with unique artistic creativity. It can be called a museum.

After dinner, I returned to the ancient city and listened to the proprietress’s introduction to MR.KAI , which is popular among locals . The sign is relatively unremarkable. Tom Yum Goong tastes very good and the coconut milk is very strong. I ordered five colors, about 320B~  

Sat more than three hours by car, finally reach Pai , the proposed motion sickness of children's shoes have to bring motion sickness pills. The ticket is booked on AYA WeChat, and the payment is 300B per person. The itinerary of Pai County can basically follow the map and make a circle, it is all very smooth. Our first stood still in the inverted cabin -   Yellow hut- coffee in love- big tree swing, you can walk in one afternoon, Pai County is a good place to take pictures, girls love it, you can instantly become a little fresh! Coming here is all kinds of pats!  

Many guides say that watching the sunset at the Main Temple is the most beautiful, but due to the route arrangement, we set off for the Main Temple early the next morning. The google map once again gave directions, and we still asked the locals while cycling. The most reliable. It is coming when we could not find a way on the temple, on the way to intercept a Mingou Ba, I was very embarrassing to him mistaken for Chinese people, ha ha. Oppa led the way very well, and we arrived smoothly. For children with poor car skills, it is recommended to follow the car as it is more difficult to go uphill.

The elephants in the elephant camp are very poor, so just take a look, don't ride the elephants!

Natural outdoor hot spring, cool! It's a pity that the ticket charges for crooked nuts and locals are very different. Locals are 30B and crooked nuts are 300B! But it's not bad to take a dip and warm up!

The stairs going up are not high, and you will reach the top within a few minutes. Although it looks ordinary here, as long as you walk a short distance, you will find that there is really a grand canyon, or a vertical cliff. Only one person can go over and take pictures. It's very thrilling~ Be careful when you walk over to take pictures. If you are afraid of heights, you should look at it from a distance.

 I'P Burger & Grill
arrived Pai is at noon, immediately get off at AYA looking for food, this hamburger shop is around it. The shop signs point two double beef burger , Very enough material, you can add bacon as garnish at will, the price is not particularly cheap, a set meal is 160B. The crooked nuts passing by saw that we were eating so fragrantly, and they came up to ask us what we ordered. Two female men ate more than men, hahaha.

 the steak house , this is the shop to my colleagues, and absolutely delicious to the extent it can come back to Pai , even if it will not eat greasy. Steakhouse is back above a hotel in Pai city center. The steak is grilled directly on the charcoal fire on the side of the road and served on the plate. The method is very sturdy, and the table is fresh and fresh. The steak is very thick and it is about ten times better than the ancient city. Door and salad 
, Potato soup buffet is provided free of charge. The white sauce spaghetti is very creamy. The original menu is white sauce macaroni, but I prefer to eat spaghetti, so I asked the boss to change it. The taste is very good. I ordered five dishes for a total of 750B, which is very cost-effective. You don’t need to order so much for a normal appetite. The food is quite large.

 Charlie&Lek's service attitude is good. We ordered too many and stopped it. The price-performance ratio is quite high. The portion of the dishes is also a lot. When we arrive at the restaurant, they are full. It is very authentic Thai dishes. 

 Chiang Mai University (ChiangMaiUniversity) referred to as CMU, was established in 1964. It contains three campuses, with a total area of about 14 square kilometers, the number of students more than 30,000 people, the main campus is located in Thailand's Chiang Mai city in the western suburbs. Chiang Mai University is the only one the city's National University, also in northern Thailand 's premier institution of higher learning, in January 1964 created by His Royal Highness King Bhumibol for approval.
Before looking at a lot of Raiders Chiang Mai University to play because of too many people, not tourists out on their own campus, the school must take the sightseeing car tour. But we went in directly through the back door on a motorcycle, and the guards didn’t stop us. Maybe we look a lot like students, haha~
We happened to happen during the graduation season when we went, and many students were taking graduation photos~ The campus is very big, you can slow down Wandering slowly for an afternoon, the environment is very good.

We on purpose Suthep is to see cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms look at the best of times should be the end of December and January first, we go to the end of January, I heard that Sakura was running out, so go Suthep see cherry blossoms Choose the month for your children’s shoes. To go to Suthep Mountain with nine bends and eighteen bends, in addition to renting a double car, you can also ride a motorcycle on the mountain road by yourself, but you must pay attention to safety~ Fortunately, my little friend is known as the "car god" and it took more than two We finally rode up the mountain when we were young, but we still didn't reach the top because it was too dangerous. At the beginning, the lanes were two winding lanes. Basically, there was no way for cars to come. Later, the mountain road became one lane. If the driving skills are not enough, it is better to take the double lane. 

As soon as I entered the door of the temple, my eyes couldn't be opened by the golden light and eyesight. The atmosphere is created with gold! Guangcan see these gold statues, suddenly I feel that Thailand has a posture Tyrant, ha ha ha.

Since the last day of our 12-point aircraft, to the Chiang Mai airport duty-free shops is basically no time to visit, how can they abandoned shopping trip! Seeing that there was still a lot of gas left, we rode our motorcycles to the Central Shopping Mall in the afternoon. It was a sad reminder to use the google map to navigate. It took about an hour and a half to ride from Nimman Road. During the period we asked many people before we found it. I suggest everyone It is better to take a double road, which is convenient, fast and safe, because we were really scared on the two main roads of the ancient city. Where the speed is very fast, it is difficult to change lanes and turn around. We went around there several times. . In the end, when we were all discouraged and wanted to give up, we still risked not observing the traffic rules and finally found it. Of course, there are countless gains. Hahaha, it is worth it! Triumph over there with Lee Weiss price is OK, at least cheaper than the domestic half. The return journey saves more than half of the time, a straight road.

The last day and a half trip is in Ningman Road Xia Guang, eat food, enjoy Chiang Mai wonderful time!

Milk on the rock
is a very delicious dessert shop. I went there two days in a row. I must order rose milk and tortilla! ! ! It's super delicious, the price of cabbage, there are resident singing in the evening, it is very nice, and the songs are all popular European and American golden songs. The store belongs to the hidden version of the food, all the locals go, because hidden in the Chiang Mai University night market there, so the majority of students, five-star recommendation!

The spaghetti breakfast bought by seven is delicious~

Quick Ningman road burger shop supper must ~ ~

Hidden edition cuisine, a lot of Riben people here to eat, only took the signs and do not know name.

 the salad concept super delicious a salad shop, a large portion of delicious and cheap, ate a few tons, also packed on the plane before leaving to eat ~ recommended tofu sauce, very tasty. 

 Smoothie Blues is a breakfast shop on Nimman Road. The portion can be said to be a lunch shop! The freshly squeezed avocado milkshake is super large, the scrambled eggs in the papani are just right, delicious and tender, recommended! ! 

 Ristr8to said that the owner of this coffee shop once won the World Latte Championship. The cup of coffee inside is only RMB9, and you can enjoy the fragrant coffee. The exquisite latte technology. I originally wanted to buy a few bags of coffee beans back, but unfortunately they all sold it. finished, next to Chiang Mai would come back. 

 The five-star recommendation of Local Cafe , the taitea-flavored layer cake only needs a dozen pieces, and the strawberry watermelon cake is made of fresh fruits. In the heavenly environment, this dessert is definitely no less than 30! It's a great value enjoyment! 

The 9-day itinerary is neither long nor short. Looking back at these photos is still endless. If I am a freelancer, or will choose in Chiang Mai stay for some time, here's price and comfortable life or just a lot of foreigners are willing to stay in the side of reason, I still have the opportunity will come again, hope Next time I have learned to ride a motorcycle~
