Chiang Mai
by terence
For all the conveniences of Bangkok without a great deal of the noise and traffic, take a close look at Chiang Mai. Some 430 miles north of the capital, this ancient city occupies a beautifully woodsy spot in the rolling foothills of the Himalayas. It is home to more than 300 Buddhist temples, and Thai art and culture abounds. But so do modern-day shopping centers and a renowned nightly bazaar. Restaurants offer a complete range of eastern and western eating experiences, and many double as nightlife spots. And you can hone your Thai culinary skills at any one of a dozen cooking schools. For the adventurous, Chiang Mai serves as a center for motorcycle, scooter, and bicycle tours of northern Thailand. You can also try bungee jumping, rafting, and game fishing. More conventionally, the city mounts a gigantic flower festival in early February, a profusion of color and celebration. The Loy Krathong festival, a three-day event in November, features lighted candles in paper lanterns, a parade of pretty girls in traditional dress, fireworks, and the launching of thousands of hot air balloons.
