Travel Plan : Bangkok - Chiang Mai - Krabi
Number of Travelers : 4
Hotel : Rainforest Boutique hotel
Started our trip from
Bangkok,next stop being Chiang Mai.After the Sealife Aquarium and Madame Tussads,my next favorite spot is the hotel we stayed in Chiang Mai,
Rainforest Boutique.This is the kind of stay I always aim for.Whenever we stay in these kind of hotels, our desire of getting a house in hill station or amidst gardens ,boosts.I hope we could make it someday even in this period of expensive lands,costly constructions!
From the airport,we took our Thai Rent-A-Car and drove to hotel.Name of the hotel itself describes the theme on which it is constructed.I loved the hotel,room,the more.

| In Bhubing Palace |
Bhubing Palace is the most beautiful experience in Chiang Mai,Around the palace are number of gardens,widely spread in a huge area.Gardens organized beautifully.We weren't entered into the palace as it was not for visitors on that day but I felt going there is worth and whoever visits chiang mai MUST visit Bhubing Palace.
 |
| Doi Suthep |
One of the famous visiting spot in Chiang Mai is
Doi Inthanon.It is on the mountain peak.One can spend a whole day ,plus one more in Doi Inthanon.
There is
- Trekking
- Nice view from Highest spot of Thailand
- Doi Suthep
- Two Pagodas
 |
| The great holy relics Pagoda |
In Doi Inthanon are two chedis or temples built in the respect of King and Queen of Thailand on their 60th birthday's respectively,two pagodas adjacently which are worshiped by people.The scenery and garden around both the Pagodas is just beautiful.Not just the scenery and gardens but the sky and clouds when seen from these temples,is like a picture perfect frame.With the astonishing view from here,one wouldn't want to move away without spending whole lot of good time.
 |
| Scenery around Pagoda |
Temples named Naphamethinidon and Naphaphonphumisiri of King and Queen respectively attracted us even before reaching there,from the entrance where the pagodas are clearly beautifully visible ,under the blue sky ,standing high,above the stairs amidst green bushes surrounded by beautiful garden.
 |
| Golden mount at Doi Suthep |
Doi Suthep,is a temple that truly give sparkle in eyes.Temple gets the name from the mountain where it is located.We went to Doi Suthep temple in terribly hot sun so as all the other tourists.But I was surprised to see the beauty of temple.The temple having history from way back 13th century is believed to be powerful and worshiped by the people.There are many holy shrines in Doi Suthep temple,all graceful.Green glass Budha,White elephant, among the holy shrines.Even after spending there 2 hours, we could only click one or two pictures of temple without crowd covering the frame.It was that popular and beautiful,all the tourists including us,kept going round the temple again and again,sparkling gold around us,graceful mount and the Holy Shrines.

| Trekking |
 |
| Highest spot in thailand |
All these places are around and on the mountain so from the peak,Doi Suthep and Pagodas are visible.We headed to '
The highest spot in Thailand'.The weather was beautiful.Trekking in Doi Inthanon reminded us our Cherrapunji trek during Assam Trip.But the way here is scenic and comfortable.
 |
| Panda poses display in a cafe |
After Doi Inthanon's successful and satisfactory visit,we stopped at a small cafe, written on it, Barista,arts and smiles.We ordered our coffee's,in the meanwhile there is lot to see in the cafe,photos of visitors,Consolidated photos of Pandas in Zoo.

| Giraffe in Chiang Mai Zoo |
In our trips of recent times, we have been surely visiting Zoo's and all that I visited made me happy.One such is Chiang Mai Zoo.Maintenance of Zoo,Staff looking after all the animals is good.Zoo is big and we saw many birds,animals.Some are welcoming 😄😄 while some are very lazy 😁😁.We did spend a great time at Zoo.
 |
| Panda in Chiang Mai Zoo |
We paid extra amount for entry to Panda's Stay.I must say all the tourists were waiting just to see tha panda move whereas it sleeps like a lazy lad the whole time.Ofcourse none of us disturbed the her :),no one would do that.But it is a must see how she lazily sleeps,and suddenly stands making the tourists enthusiastic and fall down again ,sleep like a baby stretching her hands and legs :)
