\n Our honest take on Chiang Mai\n <\/div>\n\n
\n Northern Thailand travel\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n
\n\n Chiang Mai feels completely different from Bangkok \u2014 in the best possible way. The pace is slower, the streets are calmer and the entire city feels surrounded by nature and mountains.\n\n

\n\n What surprised us most was how easy it is to settle into life there. One moment you\u2019re exploring ancient temples and night markets, the next you\u2019re sitting in a quiet caf\u00e9 surrounded by jungle views. It still has incredible food and memorable experiences, but without the nonstop intensity of larger cities.\n\n

\n\n For couples especially, Chiang Mai strikes a rare balance between culture, comfort, affordability and relaxation \u2014 which is why it ended up becoming one of our favourite cities in Thailand.\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
