1. Chiang Mai

his place is considered as the northern capital of Thailand. Surrounded by the hills, it’s a rising city for tourists who wish to explore the lush green landscape, hill tribes and outdoor adventure as Chiang Mai offers a maddening blend of culture and nature. In this big culturally important city, both historical and modern Thai architecture and traditions coexist.  There are over 500 temples in Chiang Mai. Among them, the most famous is the Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep temple which is located outside Chiang Mai on a mountainside overlooking the city. The Night Zoo is very much interesting for both children and adults. Go to Thailand’s highest place at Doi Inthanon and there you will meet hill tribes, a number of beautiful waterfalls, and elephants at a sanctuary.  You can also go to the Doi Inthanon National Park. Here is located the highest mountain in Thailand and the massive waterfall Mae Ya. Nightlife here is low key compared to Bangkok but still, there are a lot of bars to enjoy and night bazaar is the best place to browse and purchase traditional Thai wares. The best way to know about a place’s culture is to enjoy the food. No doubt, Chiang Mai is the best foodie destination in Northern Thailand. It’s also one of the cheapest places to visit. For local foods, go to the Sunday Walking St near Tha Pae gate, Saturday Night Walking Street on Wua Lai Road, the daily Warorot Market or Night Bazaar on Chang Klan Road.

2. Bangkok

The capital city of Thailand, a humming cosmopolitan area of tall edifices, beautiful palaces, age-old temples, sparkling nightclubs, fussy markets and streets lined with sellers selling souvenirs and mouth-watering foods, Bangkok, is the biggest city in the country. Sometimes you may consider it as a concrete forest crammed with noisy traffic and air pollution but you can’t ignore the city’s natural beauty that is seen it its canals, greeneries and flowering tropical plants. Start your trip from the Grand Palace for a rapid look at the famous Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha).  Then find other Buddhist temples, for instance,  Wat Pho (Temple of Reclining Buddha), Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn), Wat Saket (Golden Mount Temple), and Wat Traimit (Temple of Golden Buddha). For delicious local food, go to Yaowarat (Bangkok’s Chinatown). If you want to take a break from the bustling city life, go to Jim Thomson House, Lupini Park or enjoy a scenic cruise/ferry ride along the Chao Phraya River.  Khao San Road is famous for its cheap shopping, dining, and nightlife. You can also go to floating markets nearby like Amphawa and Damnoen Saduak.
