One Fine Day In Chiang Rai

This kind of foggy morning is pretty common in here around Northern of Thailand.  Because the area is surrounded by mountains and higher altitude town.  We drove straight from Bangkok, last night just before midnight and took us about 11 hours cruisey drive.  Once we arrived in Chiang Rai, we made a short visit to the temple and then ride further up to Doi Tung Royal Villa.  Then last but not least, we spent our night at Chiang Rai night bazaar for a marvelous meal.

Besides Chiang Mai, still so many places are lovely to visit around Northern of Thailand.  And Chiang Rai is of course one of them.  It is laid in the border between Laos and Myanmar.  Embracing the different culture from three different countries.  Yet, this place is much less crowded than Chiang Mai.  We chose to stayed in Maekok Siri Cottage for two nights.  The place is a bit outside town and along the Maekok river.  Very peacefull and ultimate fresh breeze in the morning, plus right next to it, they have small elephant camp belongs to the locals.  Therefore, still not so touristy and you can do the same activities with elephant, such as elephant feeding and elephant riding.
