Thailand is one of the most popular destinations in the world, because of its exotic weather and breathtaking views. Yet tourists seem to forget that this fascinating Asian country is more than its gorgeous islands.

Chiang Mai is the country’s second-important city, after its busy capital, Bangkok. It is a rather smaller city that is more relaxed and laid back as compared to the craziness of the capital. Once the capital of a kingdom known as Lanna, the city is currently an attraction for tourists who like to walk and go sightseeing.

If you would like to get a glimpse of its charm, check out Chiang Mai street photography and indulge in the beautiful photos that capture the essence of every-day life in the Asian city. Once you’re convinced that Chiang Mai is worth a visit, think about what you would like to discover.

A great way to start your visit is the Wat Prathat Doi Suthep, a temple on a mountaintop that is an absolute must-see. It is one of the most visited attractions in the city. The trip to the temple takes about two hours and it is absolutely worth it, both because of the road and the temple itself.

If you’re an animal lover, as I am, you’ll love a visit to the Elephant Nature Park. Here you’ll be able to walk among these majestic souls and get a closer understanding of what it feels like to be one of them.

Then, there is the Chiang Mai Sunday Walking Street, which is an absolute must for delicious eating and good shopping. If you’re a real foodie, you’ll rejoice in the dumplings, pad Thai, samosas and all the other gastronomic marvels the street has to offer.
