Chiang Mai: A popular destination for Chinese tourists

     Chiang Mai is another province in Thailand that has the potential to attract Chinese tourists at a higher rate than almost any other in the country because of its diverse range of attractions, including historical and cultural sites, natural wonders, adventure activities, and restaurants and shops selling inexpensive but delicious food.

     Most Chinese tourists like to make their way around the city’s central moat to see the many temples, museums, and historical sites that surround it. These sites include the famous Wat Phan Tao, Wat Chedi Luang, Wat Chiang Man, and Wat Phra Singh, as well as the Lanna Folklife Museum, Chiang Mai City History Hall, and the Chiang Mai Arts and Cultural Center. Luxury hotels, boutique hotels, guesthouses, and budget accommodations are all available, as are a wide variety of restaurants, coffee shops, entertainment venues, Thai massage parlors, vehicle hire shops, bookstores, markets, and shops. In addition, you can simply navigate the streets of the historic district on a rented bike or motorbike. There is also a popular market like Tha Phae Walking Street on Sundays for shopping and walking, as well.

     Tha Phae Gate, an important landmark symbolizing Chiang Mai, is another popular place for Chinese people. This area, during important festivals such as Loi Krathong or New Year, holds grand events to create fun and color for the tourists who come to visit.

     Warorot Market is the largest gathering of food and souvenirs in Chiang Mai. When the Chinese come to visit Chiang Mai, they look for souvenirs, especially those of their home country (which are sometimes less expensive here) and dried food such as pork skin, dried longan, fried durian, and a great variety of curry pastes and spices used in cooking, as well as cooking equipment, utensils, and local clothing.

     Chiang Mai Night Bazaar is one of Chiang Mai's classic souvenir markets, open seven nights a week. Anyone who comes to visit and is looking for souvenirs or looking for a delicious restaurant must visit here. With regular fun activities like watching boxing at Kalae, Thai massage, and various nightlife events, as well as a hip new style of cuisine, the Night Bazaar is once again bustling with crowds of young people.
