I am leaving for vocation in Chiangmai on this December. Chiangmai is my hometown. I will also take an opportunity to go visit my family, I hardly meet them because I study in Bangkok. But it is not all the reason i choose to go to Chiangmai. There is a lot of tourist attractions there. If you like food, i am sure that you will not be disappointed. There are many nice restaurants, pubs&bars, cafes. And there is a lot of shopping centers for shoppers. If you like nature, I suggest you go to Doi Intanon, Doi Suthep, San kam Paeng Hot Springs. Or if you like adventure, you should try rafting or trekking an elephant at Pang Chang Mae Taeng. If you like the animals, there is Chiangmai open zoo. More over, there is Note Udom's Ice Berry branch in Chiangmai as well. Or other places, about the culture, you can search on searching engine like google for more information. If you are finding the place to go on vacation, I hope this can help. Thank you.
