In-Depth Information
Fly to the laid-back university town of
Chiang Mai
. Explore the old quarter, filled
with the distinctive temple architecture of northern Thailand. Slurp down a bowl of
kôw soy,
the north's signature noodle dish, and hang out at
Riverside Bar & Res-
taurant
. The next day, make a morning pilgrimage to the cool environs of
Doi
Suthep
and its sacred hillside temple. If you're here on a weekend, visit the
Saturday Walking Street
or the
Sunday Walking Street
. To return home, save
yourself a Bangkok backtrack by booking a direct flight onward from Chiang Mai.
