Where I stayed:
Shangri-La Chiang Mai
What I Did:
- Walking with elephants!
- Explored the night markets
- Had my first Tom Yum
Thoughts on the Place:
Whenever you’re a little tired of Bangkok (very rare for me, I fucking love it here), Chiang Mai can offer a kinda mini-city break where things are a bit more laid back and bit more old school. It’s nice. It’s kinda small, but it’s nice if that’s you like.
Shangri-La Chiang Mai however was immaculate. The view from the room was of the mountains and, damn, waking up to that was wonderful. Big fan, highly recommend.
Tips:
The food at the markets here is high quality, dig in! Get a Nutella banana roti!
Head to the Grand Canyon water park for a mint day out!
Zoe in Yellow is the place to begin any wild night here.
