Solo travel experience

Probably the most chill and organised city Iโ€™ve ever travelled too. Not to mention super cheap! People are friendly and accommodating and Iโ€™m already dying to go back! Thereโ€™s tons of things to do. Totally canโ€™t miss the night markets/bazaar where your shopping options are endless!

Solo travel experience

Chiang Mai is a great city - not too small, not too big, and there are plenty of excellent restaurants and shops. Plus, the nature nearby is fantastic. It's a superb starting point for various treks, excursions, river trips, and so on. I liked it so much that I'll definitely make a stop in Chiang Mai when I return to Thailand. Also, I highly recommend the train journey from Bangkok to Chiang Mai - it's a total adventure and a really cool experience.

Solo travel experience

I was there for 3 days, and I'd gladly go again. The city itself has a great atmosphere for me. It's local, not as crowded as Bangkok, with the Old Town in a kind of square, lots of cool places with cheap good food. Outside the square, it's a normal big city with Starbucks and McDonald's. Prices for everything are much lower than in the south. The temperature is lower too. There are many beautiful temples without the tourist crowds. In the area, there are also mountains, waterfalls, and villages.
