Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand
Sister-in-law Janette and I left our husbands on the island and took a girls' trip to see many ancient temples and do lots of shopping.
We had a direct flight from our island to Chiang Mai but had to transfer through Bangkok on the way back. We were very impressed with the efficiency of Chiang Mai Airport. We picked up our one suitcase at baggage (to put the shopping we intended to buy), walked directly to a taxi counter and booked a taxi. We were directed to a nearby door and handed the form to a lady who told us our taxi was number 29. About 2 minutes later our taxi pulled up. The price was 150 baht to our hotel. About $4.
We loved our hotel! Green Tiger House It is an eco-friendly, vegan hotel and restaurant. Very clean and comfortable, efficient staff, and delicious all you can eat vegan breakfast. My favourite was the fresh fruit and strawberry coconut yogurt. The yogurt was homemade strawberry jam cooked together with maple syrup (for 2 hours) then later added to homemade coconut yogurt. Mmmm....
We stayed for 4 nights. The hotel is in the Old City which is about 1 mile square and has the most ancient temples. Very easy to walk around the entire Old City.
