Chiang Mai Itinerary
by a local
Chiang Mai isn't an elephant-riding camp (please, don't) or a Sunday walking-street 'traditional pad thai' at four times the neighborhood price. Locals eat khao soi at Khao Soi Khun Yai, drink craft beer at Beer Republic, and visit ethical sanctuaries like Elephant Nature Park.
Temples, cooking schools, ethical elephant sanctuaries.
