Day 4-Chiang Mai

0 Comments

 
Today, we explored Chiang Mai with some free time. This evening, we visited a village outside Chiang Mai and sit down around an authentic khantoke for dinner in a local family's guesthouse. We traveld to the countryside near Chiang Mai. This night, we enjoyed a chant dinner, a must-do when you reach northern Thailand. Khantok in the Northern dialect means a wooden tray used for carrying dishes, round in shape, made of teak wood. The host invited guests to sit on the floor around the khantok. The main dishes on the khantok usually include sticky rice, hang-le curry (Burmese-styled curry), and some chili-pasted crispy pork. After, we enjoyed tea time with the opportunity to talk with local people to learn their way of living. 
Night Market 
There was an opportunity to pick up a a souvenir at this shopper's paradise. You could wander through the market to find music, food, and local artists selling handmade crafts. ​

Full Day Tuk-Tuk Adventure 
Today. we learned how to drive a classic Thai mode of transport - the tuk-tuk - then set off for a full-day Northern Thailand adventure like no other. With our very own guide, we explored the rural lanes of Chiang Mai, drive past rice fields and temples as we weaved through the countryside, and experienced Thai hospitality at its finest over lunch and chatting with the locals.
