Today we are exploring Chiang Mai, the largest and most visited city in Northern Thailand. It’s also Thailand’s most cultural city. People come to explore its temples, food, markets and its fun-loving culture. Chiang Mai means “new city,” it got its name when the Kingdom of Lana moved its capital from Chiang Rai to Chiang Mai in the year 1296. Now come with me as we explore the top 10 things to do in Chiang Mai!
First stop is Wat Chedi Temple in the old town. This temple has two parts, the new temple and the ruins of the old temple that date back to the 15th century. People believe that this is where the Emerald Buddha was first kept before moving to Bangkok. Its free to explore the grounds and it’s a must visit in the old town of Chiang Mai.
The one thing you have to do in Chiang Mai is get a foot massage. Head to Loi Khro Road, a street that is full of massage parlors. The best place to get a massage is at Young and Beautiful massage. A half hour foot massage costs 80 baht or $3. It’s definitely worth it!
Next up we head to Chiang Mai’s Night Bazaar. It starts at sunset and ends at midnight, and is open every night of the year. Its 1 km in length, you can do some shopping, eat some food and enjoy one of the main attractions of Chiang Mai.
Wat Phra That is a temple located on Doi Suthep mountain. It’s a 30-minute drive to the entrance of the temple, and from there you must climb 200+ steps to the top. The walk isn’t so bad because of all the vendors selling fruits, shakes, food and souvenirs. From the temple you get incredible views of Chiang Mai.
Another night market you have to visit is the Sunday Market. It is the biggest market in Chiang Mai and it receives over 100,000 visitors in high season. You can buy everything here, including decorative masks like I did.
Warorol Market is Chiang Mai’s biggest whole sale market. It is a huge complex full of vendors selling souvenirs, clothing and food. You need to try Chiang Mai’s pork sausage, the most famous dish in the city. It’s very spicy!!
Now we head to Tiger Kingdom, a Tiger sanctuary. These tigers are all born in captivity, they eat twice a day and are cared for by veterinarians.
Bo Sang Village is a small community that creates bamboo umbrellas. Visit the handicraft center to see how they create these beautiful umbrellas from start to finish. Afterwards you can do some shopping and don’t worry about paying for extra luggage on your flight, because they will ship the umbrellas anywhere in the world! I had four of them custom made and shipped to me in the U.S.
Lastly, we visit the Elephant Nature Park, an Elephant sanctuary located about a 45-minute drive north of Chiang Mai. They have 47 elephants that were rescued from the logging and trekking industry. Lek Chailert, is the found of the sanctuary. She started working with elephants in 1992, then in 1995 she started her first sanctuary. Her goal is to educate the world about the situation with the Asian elephants. There currently are no fences so the elephants can roam wild 24/7!

Do NOT go to Tiger park. It’s a money making scam. The Tigers are definitely drugged and look drowsy. The ones that aren’t drugged are in different cages around the back and looked stressed out and were attacking the cages. Also, they will not let you handle the cuddly baby cubs ( they’ve obviously made an exception here for this vlog)
OMG on my retina screen, this video just JUMPS ALIVE. Best Chiang Mai video that I've seen. Congrats
Currently in Chiang Mai and these are some great tips and ideas. Good work.
Really great video, both informative and nice footage. Sadly we will only spend 2 days in Chang Mai (november 8-10) since we have a busy schedule in Thailand, but your video gave us some nice pointers. Thanks!
I am going to chiangmai on january 2019 and this is help me a lot. Thank you so much for the recomendation.
great video man. i'm writing down your suggestions for a future trip
I loved my trip to Thailand but do wish I had planned more days in Chiang Mai and less in Bangkok! Chiang Mai was may favorite out of Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai. I took a day trip to Chiang Rai and saw the White Temple which is amazing.
I truly appreciate this. I knew 3 days wasn’t enough. Thanks. Trip extended. Lol
Nicely done. I've been to Bangkok but never up north yet. The elephant and tiger parks were incredible.

Tiger kingdom drugs tigers, why would you support that?

This is great! We are planning our trip and this is helpful! I am concerned about Tiger Kingdom... lots of articles about how they are actually drugging the tigers.... :( Which actually makes sense with the way they are behaving. I would LOVE to go there, I just don't condone obviously that behavior. Did you hear anything or learn anything about their establishment to confirm otherwise? Thanks for the tips

Hi Kimmi, we worked with Tiger Kingdom and they went over it like 100 times how they are not drugged. I love animals and I would never condone visiting a place that is hurting animals.

All captive breeding of tigers is unethical especially in south east Asia. The body part trade is massive and you’re kidding yourself if you don’t think they’re involved
Hey, great video! Would you say that these markets are dangerous for pickpocketers?

I am going to Chiang Mai this August and I found this video to be really helpful. Thanks a bunch. I have really mixed feelings about this Tiger Kingdom though. It seems really unethical and unnatural. Like humans keeping wild animals for their own amusement. It is wrong.

Sorry buddy but it is true and the whole world knows about tiger Kingdom but it shouldn't concern morons like U without and ethical bone in their body. After that why don't U travel to Africa and shoot an elephant so u can have some nice ivory for your home. DOUCHEBAG !
Does ANYONE have proof they're drugged. Everyone keeps saying they look too calm, imma need some confession or something yall

You stand and advertise that tourists should support animal curelty
The reason humans can play with the tigers is because they keep them sedated on drugs all day long

How dare you to advice people to play and take stupid selfie with drugged tiger
Please do your research on places that use animals to make money. The tigers have been drugged. Any time a stranger can take a selfie with an adult tiger, something is very wrong.
how awfully selfish of you to support and promote "attractions" that exploit animals. it's just a dumb photo for you but a lifetime of confinement and being drugged for them. they are literally denies all the natural behaviours - roaming around, hunting for prey, forming relationships with other tigers etc. it's the first and last video I've watched from you. shame on you!
Outrageous that you are promoting tiger kingdom. Awful
Please stop encouraging the awful treatment of tigers at that Tiger-mill. disgusting, and not a "sanctuary". Promotiong this kind of shit is terrible, and only creates more Tiger-Mills.
