I'm back in Chiang Mai! The 12 hour train ride from Bangkok was rather torturous. When I traveled from Chiang Mai to Bangkok I also took a train. However, it was a night train and I had a sleeper bed. If I travel any more long distances by train is will definately be at night! Check out the State Railway of Thailand's website if you are interested in the fares and schedules of trains in Thailand.Its good to be back in Northern Thailand and I look forward to the next 5 months.
The city of Chiang Mai is a portal to Thailand's spiritual past and the gateway to some of its most verdant and beautiful forestry. Unlike the tropical island scenery many visitors associate with Thailand, Chiang Mai is ringed by misty mountains and jungle – it is also in close proximity to the apexes of China, Myanmar and Laos, otherwise referred to as the "Golden Triangle".Founded 700 years ago as the capital of the Lanna Kingdom (Lanna means "a million rice fields") Chiang Mai is home to more than 300 temples and a multitude of national parks, mountain trails, waterfalls and ancient ruins. In recent years the town has become increasingly metropolitan, though not quite to the extent of other Thai cities, including the nation's bustling capital, Bangkok. In Chiang Mai, visitors will see
Location: Chiang Mai Province - Thailand Date: 7 Feb 2008The long neck women are from Burma/Myanmar but many live as refugees in Thailand. The long neck women are known as Padaung, a sub-group of the Karen tribe. Long Neck WomanThe Karen tribe villages are near the Thai-Myanmar border, but there are also "villages" near Chiang Mai. I say "villages" as they are really just market stalls set up for the benefit of tours from Chiang Mai.Long Neck Market VillageOpinion is divided on these tours. Some say it is a like a human zoo, while others say that the money raised in the markets is money that these tribes wouldn't have otherwise got.My conscience wasn't helped by a story about the plight of the long neck women that was continually aired on BBC World the week I was there.It seemed to me thou
Location: Chiang Mai Province - Thailand Date: 7 Feb 2008When visiting Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand you can't seem to walk more than 100 metres without passing a shop selling elephant riding tours.There are many elephant riding trips available packaged with other activities, usually hill tribe treks and some other activity like white water rafting. These sort of day tours make for good value when you consider how much time you would save if you went to each activity individually.Most elephant rides go for half an hour to one hour. There is no need to go for over an hour, unless you really love elephants.Elephant MountElephant TrekkingAt the elephant park people were selling bundles of bananas and sugar cane to feed the elephants. It's a great way to make friends with your ride. Just

Chiang Mai (เชียงใหม่) is the hub of Northern Thailand. With a population of over 170,000, it is Thailand's fifth-largest city. Located on a plain at an elevation of 316 m, surrounded by mountains and lush countryside, it is much greener and quieter than the capital, and has a cosmopolitan air and a significant expat population, factors which have led many from Bangkok to settle permanently in this "Rose of the North".Founded in 1296 AD, the culturally rich city of Chiang Mai is the longest continuously inhabited settlement from the ancient days of Siam. Located amidst the rolling foot hills of the Himalayan Mountains 700 km north of Bangkok, it could only be reached by an arduous river journey or an elephant back trip until the 1920s, isolation which has helped keep Chia
