Finaly found a video that is well done with a detail map step by step what and where things are located on a map grid system. Good job out of you sir.

My daughter and I stayed at Hotel M last November. It was dated but nice. Staff were great. Very handy to the Sunday market. Sunsets were incredible from our room. There was something very cool about sitting eating breakfast across from a thousand year old wall.
We loved the city. Can't wait to return.

Chiang Mai is my favorite place on the planet. I've visited 4 times for a total of probably 35-40 days. I've never been to ANY of the restaurants you showed in this vid... and they all looked awesome. I have so much more exploring to do. I can't wait to get back to Chiang Mai. Great vid, love the use of the map.

Yep! Another great informative vid, worth a coffee that one🙂

Tony, I have some Thai pronunciation tips that you might find useful. When you see "ph" at the beginning or the end of a word (whether it be a common word or a name), forget about the "h". It''s always silent. (So, "Huen Phen" is pronounced "HUEN-PEN, "" not "HUEN-FEN.") For "th, " it's the same: the "h" is always silent. "Kh" is pronounced exactly the same as "k." Now, "ch" is a tricky one. Most of the time, it's pronounced like a "j". For example, "Chatuchak" (the name of Bangkok's popular weekend market) is pronounced "JA-DTU-JAK." "Chamchuree" (the rain tree) is pronounced "JAM-JU-REE." Sometimes, however, "ch" is pronounced the way it looks. For example, "Chonburi" (one of the eastern provinces) is pronounced "CHON-BU-REE" and not "JON-BU-REE." "Chiang Mai" is, of course, not pronounced "JIANG-MAI." (unless you're a native of Northern Thailand and speak the Northern dialect). This one you have to take it on a case-by-case basis. I hope you find these tips useful. I always enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for this well-made and handy video! I'm planning a cycling trip to Chiang Mai and researching the best places to stay while visiting there. While there, I'll be cycling far outside Old City up into the hills north and west of the city.

I settled on staying in Old City but wasn't sure what to expect until I saw this video. This video was very informative!!

Love how you use the map to illustrate where places are. Helpful.

I was there in 2019 and had a great stay at Saran Boutique hotel in one of the suites. I noticed one of my favorite places for Khao Soi closed during the pandemic ;( "Mr. Kai". I would say 3-4 days is all you need in Chiang Mai if you are on vacation for 10-20 days. You can see most of the usual tourist attractions in the mountains on a full day tour. Sticky Waterfalls as well as others, Doi Suthep, Hilltribe Village, Bhubing Palace, and some great mountain viewpoints overlooking Chiang Mai city. Chiang Rai is a must visit too if you like Chiang Mai. It actually has way more impressive temples, and access to places like the Tham Luang Cave (where the soccer kids were trapped), The Golden Triangle, tea plantations, and Longneck Hilltribe village.

Hi it was wonderful to meet you on the flight.
I wish I had known about your channel when I was in Chiang Mai. Loved the video great information. I will definitely be checking out more of your content before I return to Chiang Mai. 🥰

[iriswoohoo]

Such a helpful video!! Loved seeing it on google maps for orientation

[lmw]

I will go to old city chiang mai. Your video will be of great help in my journey. Thank you

[josht]

The old city is my home now, I normally avoid most restaurants mentioned here and not because they aren't good.. it's because if you get off the touristy path there are better places to eat. Don't be afraid to check out some of the small hole in the wall looking restaurants.

Amazing video well explained ! Been looking everywhere and this one solved all my doubts !

[norrisbethke]

Stayed just inside Chiang Mai Gate at Smith Residence in my initial trips to CM and the moat there has a large concrete section where in the evening is full of vendors, would get a salmon dinner for about 100 baht..anyway, always nice to see the bits and pieces of CM..kop 🙏🏻👏🇹🇭

[blencarr]

[portlanddba]
