CHIANG MAI CITY HIGHLIGHT SIGHTSEEING TOURS

Chiang Mai Travel Agent - utravel2chiangmai proudly organizes Chiangmai City Highlight Sightseeing 1 Day Tour with the elephant ride to Lisu tribe village or to the Longnecked village .
 
  Chiang Mai

Part of the ancient Lanna Kingdom , Thailand's upper north , long sequestered behing high mountain ranges , has developed a charm and character all of its own while keeping a quintessentially Thai heart .Until the rail line pushed north in the 1920s, an expedition to Chiangmai was more harzardous and time-consuming than a trip to Europe. The reason behind the region' s  name of Lanna ( a million rice field ) becomes clear then visiting this fertile area , and the north is also noted for its rich variety of flowering plants , particularly temperate -zone species which are at their best during the cool months.

Chiang Mai
city was built in 1296 by King Mengrai , King Ramkhamhaeng of Sukhothai and King Ngam Muang of Payao , to help in selecting a site .They decided on a fertile plain between Doi Suthep Mountain and the bank of the Ping River .The new city , surrounded by a moat and walls measuring 2 by 1.6kms. , was named Nopphaburi Sri Nakornping Chiang Mai.

Chiangmai 's history as a city of economic , religious , and political importance has given it very deep cultural roots .It has been continuously habitated for over 700years . It has its own dialect , architecture and cuisine which give it a sense of  cultural stability while its natural beauty has earned it the soubriquet of ' Rose of the North '.

What to do when you have got your own leisure :
1. It is the good idea to visit the China Town in Warorot Market . Activities in this day market start very early morning before sun rises . If you are looking for some beautiful flowers , variety of local fresh fruit , dresses for men & women , gold chains etc. It is Yes that is worth visiting . If you are looking for what to eat , also suggest you to taste some local food there . Let 's try the fried chicken or grilled pork with chilli sauce and eat with sticky rice .This market can keep you busy for a couple of hours.
 
2. Take the local taxi and tell driver that you want to go to Chiangmai Zoo . You pay for the entrance fees and pay for monorail to tour around the zoo . The two highlights are a couple of panda bears and the aquarium.
Have to pay for the fees too. There are many local taxis ( Song Taew - red truck taxi ) waiting clients in front of the zoo.
 
3. Ancient Temples in the old city area - you can walk from one to another in a walking distant .
Suggest you to wear long pants/ skirts to cover knee and shirt / T-shirt or dress that covers shoulders.
When wandering around the temple or holy sanctuary , you must walk around clockwise .
As walking counter clockwise , when joining funearal processions.
 
4. The Central Airport Plaza - the grand shopping mall in the city . Suggest to take the local taxi there aqnd back by local taxi in front of the mall. Remember that no bargain inside the department store but can bargain at local shops outside the department store.
