Women-Only Hospitality Exchange in Chiang Mai

Solo travel

- The north is the cheapest in Thailand as its not as popular for tourists (still popular though) - Best spot for trinkets and gifts, much more unique compared to the rest of Thailand - Activities: Head to Chiang Rai for the day and visit all the temples/ Three Kings monument/ Wua Lai Walking Street/ Chiang Mai Cabaret (I think its like a burlesque show)/ Sticky Waterfall (Wear swimwear and bring a bag with towel/ suncream etc. Didn’t realize when climbing the waterfall you’ll get soaked so have like a bag you can put your clothes in or wear something you don’t mind getting wet)/ Elephant Sanctuary (lots of ethical elephant sanctuaries you can visit now, make sure no riding!! Ideally no feeding or bathing also, always check before booking)/ Chiang Mai Boxing Stadium (600bht) (Authentic Muay Thai experience) - Unique Activities: NHD Never Hate Drawing Studio (Local Thai artist studio, the art is so sick and you can get cool postcards and stickers with his art on it)/ Khom Chocolate House (little cafe place where they sell varieties of hot chocolate, you can even order multiple as shots so you can try a few (alt milk options too))/ Museum of World insects and Natural Wonders (200bht) (lots of taxidermy insects with so much history and information on so many creatures especially mosquitoes, this place was 10/10)/ Hideland bar (rooftop bar, fab for views) - Food: AUM Vegetarian (10/10)/ Gord Chiangmai Kithcen (10/10 - must try Tom Yum Soup) (They have lots of koi fish here)/ Another World (10/10)/ Kats Kitchen (9/10)/ V.Napaphud Vegetarian Restaurant (9/10) (10/10 for creativity though, they can imitate any meat including fish and pork) - Accommodations: Pai Residence (has a pool, it was small but nice location and did the job)/ Mad Monkey (go here if you want to meet people, there’s always events on (you can also join the events if you’re not here though just come to the hostel independently)) - Lots of markets up here on every day and night
