3 Days 2 Nights: A Wild Time in Chiang Mai

The main focus of this trip is to eat, travel, relax, and visit temples, but with a strong emphasis on eating!

DAY 1 This time, I traveled to Chiang Mai by Vietjetair from Suvarnabhumi Airport. There were a lot of people, but overall it was okay.

Upon arriving at Chiang Mai Airport, we headed to our accommodation, the Vulcano Hotel Chiang Mai, located in the Nimmanhaemin area. We opted to take the RTC Chiangmai Smart Bus, which was easy to find and offered comfortable air conditioning for a reasonable price of 20 baht for the entire route.

It didn't take long to reach the Nimmanhaemin area. We walked to our accommodation, a hotel located in Nimmanhaemin Soi 17. It was easy to find, close to…

Upon arrival at the hotel, we checked in but were unable to access our room. As it was before 2 pm, we decided to grab something to eat while we waited.

The first restaurant we visited was Kua Gai Nimmanha, which was a short walk from our accommodation. The taste was good, but the portion size was a bit small.

I ordered satay to try. It was delicious with bread.

After finishing a savory meal, we continued to Gallery Seescape for dessert. The restaurant was bustling with customers, so we decided to give it a try.

The restaurant boasts beautiful decor, a relaxing atmosphere, and numerous photo opportunities. It offers organic cuisine with appealing presentation. The taste was to our liking, as we already enjoy this type of food. After a satisfying meal, it was time to check into our accommodation.

The room was clean and well-equipped with toiletries, including a hairdryer. The bathroom had a glass wall with a curtain, which could be a bit revealing.

After a short rest, we continued to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Rajaworawihan Temple. We took a red truck from near our accommodation and then transferred to another red truck at the bottom of the mountain to ascend to the temple.

After paying respects at the temple, hunger pangs struck again, leading me to seek sustenance at One Nimman. As usual, I opted for the red songthaew as my mode of transportation.

This place is decorated in a European style mixed with Lanna, which looks beautiful and harmonious. It is suitable for taking stylish photos.

Despite the wide variety of restaurants available, we ended up having burgers and pho, which was an interesting combination.

After a savory meal, we headed to Kua Roti for dessert. We ordered their signature dish, Roti Tissue with Golden Threads, which was absolutely delicious.

Another menu is Roti Tum Tum, which is Roti with condensed milk. The taste is acceptable.

After finishing dessert, we headed to the famous Beer Lab brewery.

Located opposite Nimmanhaemin Soi 17, near the hotel itself, this shop offers a wide variety of unique beers. However, we opted for a simple, chilled beer to enjoy. That's all for today.

Day 2: Morning Delights

Breakfast is served! The hotel thoughtfully allowed us to choose our menu items yesterday, ensuring a personalized and satisfying start to our day.

There are four sets to choose from, so we opted for the omelet with bread, a lighter option as we planned to explore nearby eateries later. We wanted to avoid feeling overly full.

We then headed to the renowned Butterfly Pea Noodle shop, where we savored the soft, vibrant blue noodles in a perfectly balanced broth.

Delicious. :D

We are full after a delicious meal. Today, we will visit Phra Singh Temple and Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden by red truck. We chartered the red truck for 1,000 baht, which is about 167 baht per person for a group of six. It's a great deal considering the distance between the two locations. We believe chartering the truck is the most efficient way to travel.

We then bought pork rinds, chili paste, and northern Thai sausage as souvenirs at Kad Ton Payom (Ton Payom Market).

After buying souvenirs, we returned to the hotel to store our belongings and rest. We needed to conserve our energy for the evening visit to the Wualai Walking Street. Upon arrival, we immediately searched for food. In Chiang Mai, Khao Soi is a must-try. This restaurant was bustling with customers, offering Khao Soi, green curry with rice noodles, and noodle soup. However, the Khao Soi looked particularly tempting, and it turned out to be incredibly delicious.

After finishing our meal, we went for a stroll at the Wualai Walking Street. We saw some vendors selling Mieng Kam, a traditional Thai snack, so we bought four sticks to try. It was surprisingly delicious and easy to eat. We continued walking, exploring the many shops and stalls, until our feet grew tired. We decided to head back to the hotel, as we had walked a lot that day. We were exhausted and needed to rest. Good night, and see you tomorrow. Zzzz.

The final morning of our trip had arrived, and it was time to return to Bangkok. For breakfast, we opted for pork congee. The bowl was shockingly large, almost the size of a basin. If I had finished it, I'm sure I would have been full until the next day. Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture to show you, but even though I was full, …

As women, we always have room for dessert. So, we went to I Berry, a shop owned by Note Udom, which is located next to the hotel, to enjoy some ice cream.

After a hearty meal, we checked out of the hotel and left our luggage at the reception. Since our flight was not until the evening, we decided to visit the zoo.

Let's take a red car to the zoo!

The entrance fee is 150 baht per person, including the 50 baht panda viewing fee. We then bought a tram ticket for 30 baht per person, as the different attractions are far apart and walking is not an option.

After visiting the zoo, I took a red taxi back to the hotel to pick up my luggage and prepare to fly back to Bangkok.

The main purpose of this trip was to eat! For those who are looking for affordable accommodation near food sources, I highly recommend Vulcano Hotel at Nimman. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing recommendations for sightseeing and assisting with car or motorbike rentals.
