Lamphun Walking Street

Having been to northern of Thailand so many times and countless of visit to night market.....here is one good place to shop, dine & people watching. The Lamphun walking street on every Saturday is worth a visit and a mere 30 minutes leisure drive from Chiang Mai city. Many foods, clothes, souvenir etc etc. Here is how the market looks like:-






















































































Remarks:- You can fill your stomach here with less than 50 bath and trust me the food here is simple but the taste is remarkable! Do remember to try the sesame rice cake....it's damn good and cheap( only 10bath per piece)  Do pay a visit here if you around the Princess City of Lamphun.....a city full of ancient temple, sleepy but full of nice & beautiful people.

Tardmok waterfall in Mae Eye district

It's a lovely waterfall in a secluded area few kilometers from the Maerim district, Chiang Mai, Thailand. Very quiet and peaceful....coz its not frequented by the tourist.....a nice place to chill out in the evening and enjoying the cool breezing air!



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remarks:- Tardmok waterfall is located within many others attractions like the Tiger Kingdom, Queen Sikrit Botanical Garden, Mae Sa waterfall, Orchid farm, elephant farm etc. etc. Entrance fees to this waterfall is 20 bath for Thai and 40 bath for foreigners! I paid 20 bath coz i (pood dai phasa Thai) literally means I can speak Thai!

Lamphun - The city of many temples!

Lamphun is located about 30km south of Chiang Mai city. A relatively quiet city made famous by its longan plantation and ancient temple. A leisure 30 minutes drive using the super highway was indeed  worth trying. I am so attracted to this city as its full of nice and ancient temple, very easy going people and relatively nice local food. I shall share with you guys some of the photos I've taken here few days back! I am looking forward to visit Lamphun again soon. Here it goes:-

Mix around with the locals or sample some of the local food is one another a good option when you are here.
