My Family Trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand

This post is originally created by my youngest 12-years old brother, but of course after I corrected the grammars and sentences. Clearly, he only could only recall few names of many places we've been to. Kids...so I 've decided to add some extra information. In conclusion, Chiang Mai is not a bad place for family holiday :)

Before my school holiday began, my mother was planning to have a family trip to Chiang Mai, Thailad. Few days before departing, we had already packed our clothes, 3 big trolley bags. There were 7 of us and we went to the airport LCCT to take our flight to Chiang Mai by Air Asia.

On our arrival at Chiang Mai International airport, we met our tour guide, Abang Shukri. He is a Muslim, came from Narathiwat and already lived in Chiang Mai for 4 years. He can speak in Thai language very well.

We then brought to have a look around the city by a van and then went to our hotel, which is located at he famous Night Bazaar. After performed our solah, we went to have a short tour around the city by van and Royal Flora Park.

Chiang Mai is located at the north of Thailand and has 3 main seasons: hot, rainy and winter (but no snow). It was rainy when we were there. The people are so nice and the toilets are clean too. Most of the citizens are Buddhist but it was not difficult for us to search for Halal food coz there were also many Chinese Muslims from Yunan. We had tomyam in every meal with delicious dishes, yummy...

Shopping in Chiang Mai was fun. There are many cheap things but also expensive ones. You need to bargain before buying in the market place. My mother bought 2 LeSportSac bags with less than RM100 only.

There were many interesting and exciting places we visited throughout our 5 days stay in Chiang Mai. We also went outside the city to Chiang Rai and Maesai. I felt so happy to spend my school holiday in Chiang Mai with my family :)

At Golden Triangle, here we can see three countries at a time: Thailand, Myanmar and Laos.
