After a few days in Bangkok we headed north to Chiang Mai. And despite being northern Thailand’s largest city, after the chaotic hustle and bustle of the capital, Chiang Mai instantly felt like Bangkok’s polar opposite within seconds of arriving off the train. Chiang Mai is like no other place I’ve been before. It’s difficult to explain what was so wonderful about that place but it just had such a chilled out vibe. Everyone seemed to be so happy and chilled and at peace there and this rubbed off fast. I could have happily stayed there forever!
Unfortunately, due to the accident and having overdone it a bit in Bangkok, I decided to take things a lot easier in Chiang Mai and therefore didn’t get to explore as much as I would have liked. However, I did experience two of the most unique and unforgettable experiences there that I have ever had. The first being my day at an elephant sanctuary where we got to feed, ride and bathe the elephants which was just incredible.
And the second at Tiger Kingdom where we got to play with little tiger cubs and even go inside the cage and pet the huge fully grown tigers which felt at the time as unbelievable as it sounds.
Chiang Mai is a wonderful place. A place where dreams come true!
