Chiang Mai in photos and video


‘The Rose of the North’ is worlds away from the hectic capital and one of my favourite places in all of Asia. Artists and travellers flock from all over to the incredibly scenic and cultural city, which is famous for its natural landscape and easy-going lifestyle. Because of its location it is also a lot cooler than Bangkok, and cheaper 👍

You’ll not have venture too far out to find winding rivers, lush forests, and breathtaking waterfalls in the mountains. Founded over seven centuries ago, Chiang Mai is home to more than 300 temples, with the most popular in the Old City (30 in total), so I would highly recommend staying there. Then there’s the elephant in the room…oh yes you have to visit one of sanctuaries!

Here are our favourite photos and a video from our time there…
