Our last stop in Thailand was Chiang Mai up in the north. Here we spent five nights and even though this is the fifth largest city in Thailand it felt very cosy and friendly and ended up being perhaps our favourite place in Thailand.
The old town is surrounded by a city wall and water and inside there are temples, small markets and of course a lot of restaurants, accommodations etc.
On our second day in Chiang Mai we attended a thai cooking class on an organic farm outside the city. All participants chose 5 different dishes they wanted to prepare. This means we learned to make 10 different dishes.
In the middle of the cooking class we had an one hour siesta in the hammocks. That was nice.
One day we rented a scooter and drove up to the mountains. First we visited The Bhubing Palace, the royal winter residence with a big park including a rose garden, a tropical jungle and giant bambu.
Then we continued up the mountain roads to a small hill-tribe village called Doi Pui. Very touristic but a nice drive and lots of beautiful handicrafts.
On our way down from the mountains we stopped on the main attraction: the Wat Doi Suthep temple with stunning views of the city and surroundings.
In town we also tasted the best roti (pancake) with condensed milk so far during this trip.
