Title: Cultural Heritage of Lanna Kingdom– Chiang Mai
Life in Chiang Mai is very special. People here do many different activities such as umbrella making and painting, offering food to the monks, planting rice, working with elephants, and many more lovely things to do. Many shining gold temples are found in the old city, as well as in surrounding villages, which visitors can enjoy visiting. Scenery over the mountains and paddy fields are absolutely beautiful. Local food is great. People are very nice, warm and friendly. And this is why Chiang Mai is a wonderful place to live

Title: Sights, Sounds & Smells
Markets are everywhere in Chiang Mai and full of everything you could imagine – clothes and hair accessories, fried insects, and pad thai, strawberries with sugar and roasted corn with butter. The colors – of people’s clothing, of the goods for sale and the fruits and vegetables – are vibrant. Chatter fills the air.
People are cheerful. I always enjoy going to the market.
