Chiang Mai is the second unofficial city of Thailand. It stands out in sharp contrast to Bangkok. The price tag for offerings like hotel accommodations is low while street food and cool bars makes taking it easy here simple. There are lots of temples that catch the attention. One example of this is the Wat Phra Singh which is the key attraction in the city walls and is famed for its Lion Buddha to which pilgrims are attracted. Another fantastic temple is the Wat Phra That Doi Sutep which has 306 steep steps before one can get to it. The views from the temple are very glorious and it has been considered a gem for the city. The Saturday Night Street Market is a feature every visitor should not want to miss as it offers one the opportunity to buy trinkets and eat cheaply at the best places.
