Chiang Mai, the City that Feel Very Slow and Calm

What is my impression when I come Chiang Mai ?
Well, after spending 4 day in Bangkok that feel very busy and everyone only care about their self ?
Coming here feel so different !

In Bangkok, all I can do is take BTS, MRT.
Looking at phone, listen to music as well, because everyone is like that.
But in here, I really enjoy try to talk with local and find a friend as well.

In here, what make me sad is that I need to order bike to go anywhere.
The different with Bangkok is just I can go anywhere with BTS / MRT, but it is not happen in here.
A bit cost for transport but if I didnt go anywhere, I think living in here is afforable.

If you look for a calm place, a friendly local and many many cute cafe, Chiang Mai will suit you best.
Except, the tour to famous temple and anywhere is little far and cost a lot, which not recommend but you should try 1 tour at least to find out.

I do walk a lot and I hurt my ankle when I arrived in here.
Still, I can walk again and again and see a lot of Wat because I think Chiang Mai is a city that full of Wat and religions as well.

I take this picture after I complete my Wat visit in my first day.
Compare again to Bangkok, in that time I think all the road is already crowded by student, street food and a lot of people.
So, if you really like quiet like me, come here would be very nice and heal you a lot.

What make me spend many money in here is just that they had a lot of cute cafe which I will feel regret if I didnt try it.
In Bangkok, I didnt spend too much in food, because the street food is feel very interesting.
But in here, I not trying street food yet, but will do soon as well.

Overall, I like this city.
I dont know how long I can stay in here but I do wish that my time in here will be another level of good memories for me to remember in my old day.
