3 Reasons Why You Must Plan a Trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand

Planning a trip to Thailand but don't want to do the usual three days in Bangkok and two days Pattaya holiday? Go offbeat this time and try something different. Here are the top 5 reasons why you need to plan a trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Vibrant Festivals

Celebrating a local festival in the country itself has its own charm. Plan your trip in accordance with one of the many festivals in Thailand and be a part of some unique experiences. Loy Krathong is one such festivity. Thousands of paper lanterns are released into the night sky and candle lit floats into the waterways. Another one worth mentioning would be Chiang Mai’s famous water fight. Pick a station and get ready to be soaked. There are some serious water wars with a turnout in large numbers! The dates constantly change, so do keep a track while planning.

Local Fun

Going local is the best way to enjoy your trip in a foreign country! Whether it’s grasping bits of the language, picking up knick knacks from local markets or snacking from the eateries. Paying a visit to culturally significant places especially in a city like Chiang Mai is a wonderful experience. A temple worth a mention would be Wat Umong (translates to ‘Tunnel Temple’) located in a dense jungle with its unique set of tunnels below the chedi. Peaceful, quiet and definitely a cultural must-visit.

Nature and Adventure

Don’t be fooled by the lazy lifestyle at Chiang Mai. With seven national parks (such as Ob Luang National Park and Doi Inthanon National Park) mountain excursions, campsites and more, there isn't a dearth of activities when it comes to adventure. One can also trek to the many hill tribe villages and the stunning monasteries, and cool off by the nearby waterfalls. With resorts offering rafting, zipline and kayaking activities, you’re surely in for something exciting.
