Everyone who comes to Chiang Mai Thailand visits Doi Suthep Temple. This beautiful temple overlooks the city of Chiang Mai. Here is a video with my wife and her friend visiting the temple.
Here is a sport very popular in southeast Asia called "Takraw". A little like vollyball but you must use your head and feet, no hands. Teams are 3 persons on each side. The ball is made from bamboo.
Here is a video of the guys near my home in Chiang Mai Thailand that play every afternoon.
Here is a video of the Chiang Mai Night Safari. We went early to see some of the animals before dark on the Jackel Trail around the Lake. We then visited the resort there and checked out some of the rooms and bungalows. We took the Tram on the night trails then watched the Lazer Lighted Fountain Show. I ran out of memory or I would have shot more video.
There are many things for families with children to do in Chiang Mai Thailand.
Here is a streaming video of our friends and their children visiting an elephant camp, Huai Tung Tao lake, Chiang Mai Zoo and the weekend walking market in Chiang Mai Thailand.
When you come to Chiang Mai you should take in a Khantoke Dinner and show. This is not just for tourists as the Northern Thai people have been enjoying the Khantoke Dinner for centuries. Here is a short 6 minute video of the Khantoke dinner with my wife and friends.
We went on an elephant and Ox cart ride then spent the evening in a Lisu hill tribe village. We then visited Chiang Dao Cave Shrine and Wat Thaton Temple and overnight in Thaton. We then traveled on to Chiang Rai stopping at many hill tribe villages along the way. This video is in 2 parts.
A few friends of ours had a holiday so we took them to Doi Inthanon National Park and stayed overnight. We visited waterfalls, hilltribe villages, a trout fish farm and Karen hill tribe coffee house where they grow and process their own coffee. Here is the Video. It was too cloudy and rainy on the summit to shoot video but we returned the next week to shoot more which is in Part 2.
Here in part 1 you will see the beginning of the Chiang Mai Thailand Flower Festival Parade, part of the old city wall and moat. If you like marching bands, colorful floats and pretty girls come watch the video. More in Part 2.
Here is a video of the orchid and lotus flower exibits. This is only a small portion of what to see so this video will be part 1. We will return several times in the coming few months to see more and will post the videos here. Enjoy, Randy and Ning
Watch us at Chiang Mai Gate in Chiang Mai Thailand during the Songkran festival or Thai new year. Live music, water fights, bar-b-que and beer, loads of fun. Also see the lady boys during the parade, very funny.
