   First time traveling to Thailand, any tips? Hi everyone! This is my first time posting here, and I’d love to hear any tips to help me get started. I’m also looking for recommendations on places to visit in Chiang Mai. I’ll be traveling at the end of March, but I’ve heard that many parks will be affected by the “burning season,” so I might miss out on the blooming flowers. Are there any other parks or spots worth visiting during this time? For context, this is my first trip to Thailand! I’ll be spending four days in Chiang Mai and four days in Bangkok, so any suggestions—whether for sightseeing, food, or experiences—would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! :)

      Bangkok go to terminal 21 mall food court, dirt cheap, clean food food and tons of variety which tastes amazing. Specific restaurants, just use google maps in the area your in and go to places above 4.5 and you’ll be good. Chiang Mai the Sunday market is amazing for food. Try khao soi

      You could get a massage from an ex prisoner at the Women’s Massage Centre. For a great coffee you could try Roast8ry Lab (roast8ry.com) in Nimman. I stayed in that area and really liked it. Lots of food/drink places in very walkable streets.

   I'm a bit lost Trust me when I say that I am ashamed to confess that I happen to not be as entertained or amused when visiting temples. However, I'm already in Thailand as a solo traveler, mainly focusing his sightseeing on food and markets. I'm currently in Chiang Mai and I happen to be a bit lost on finding what to do since the main attractions here are Temple, hopping and other touristy stuff like the elephant sanctuary which does not give me a very good feeling of being ethical, but that's another story. I haven't really been able to find very authentic foods as I was able to in Bangkok and it's been a bit frustrating that everything is catered. Poor the Western world. I don't have much of a plan from Chiang Mai and I was planning on going to Chiang Rai and maybe pie before heading over to the border to Laos. May I please have some suggestions on what to eat or do while being in Chiang Mai that's more close to the authentic experience of it. I know I'm being a pain in the ass, trust me I'm hating myself for being so difficult. But I already walked in and out of the old city for the last 6 hours and haven't really found something that caught my attention besides a nice lunch at a place that spit roasts chicken. I'm heading over to the north gate market since bazaar felt like Coney island and Warorot didn't have many options or maybe I got there at a wrong time (4 pm). I would also love to maybe visit a farm up north in which I could maybe stay a couple nights and learn how to cook instead of Chiang Rai and Pai. If anyone has any leads please share.

      If you want to see Chiang Mai you need to go out of the old city. You can walk on Nimman and have some food there . If the weather is nice going to eat in Huai Tueng Thao is always good, it's busy on the weekend . There is a football game on the 19th, that's cheap and entertaining, buy the cheapest ticket and have some beers with the locals!

      Before I give you recommendations, please note that this is part of solo traveling. You'll go from lows to highs. One day, you'll wonder why you ever left home at all, and the next day, it will be a day you'll never forget. The best thing to do is to wander outside of the old city. You're in tourist areas now, and you're seeing tourist things, which you do not enjoy apparently. There's a decent local night market along a busy street just north of the old town. https://maps.app.goo.gl/mUHX7VxV9Z7kcsHe7 I love this whole area; I just walk around before and during sunset. North-West of the old city. Lots of local eateries with hardly a tourist in sight. Kad Na Mor Market https://maps.app.goo.gl/hS16EizE6svsq6im6 is a night market frequented by locals. You can easily walk over the university terrain and make a long walk back to the old city. The Monks Trail is a small hike that takes you up to Wat Pha Lat, my favorite temple in Thailand. It's nice to just chill, have a drink, and take a songtaew back down or further up the mountain. The TCDC Design Library is a cool place to visit and hang around for a bit, browsing books. Walk to the Mueang Mai Market and browse, look at foods, locals, etc. The Mae Kha Canal market is fun, although a bit touristic (locals included), but just keep walking from there. Kalm Village is beautiful modern architecture in Thai style. Take a local bus up to Chiang Dao, it's not so far, spend two nights there.

      I don't know about those ones specifically. I did Doi Inthaenon, Elephants, and a waterfall hike all bundled together in a full day. I do recommend it. The elephant sanctuary I went to only did 1 feeding session and 1 bathing session per day for the elephants. There was large acreage for these animals to roam. There was no clockwork morning, mid, and evening tour... it was just one time per day lasting about 1.5 hours in total and that was the extent of their interaction with tourists each day... The elephants that did not want to go up and interact with the crowd of tourists and eat from their hands were not starved, their keepers just went out to them and dropped them food themselves... similarly when the group was bring brought to the nearby river/stream for bathing... the ones that didn't want to come weren't corralled and forced to come, they just let those ones be and chill out. The keepers generally seemed to care for these elephants and there were no elephants being dragged around by whipping or with leashes. Maybe I'm just more ignorant than all the reddit die hards and are going to scoff at how little I know about it, but that's what I saw and felt. I'd rather be an elephant in those conditions than a dairy cow on a mass production farm... or a pig in a factory that produces pork meat... or a chicken that lays eggs in a massive factory egg production. /unpopularopinion

      Eat where you see Thai people eating. The places with random color cheap plastic chairs or wooden stumps. Not sure how you could struggle to find “authentic food” anywhere in Thailand. Even in the most touristy places, these restaurants exist for the locals.

      everything in old city is walkable. areas immediately outside of old city (just estimating about a 1 mile radius) is also walkable, but songthaews (spelling?) are available if you don't want to walk that far. 2 wheeler rentals are plentiful and cheap, but i didn't rent one (just saw the signs and prices) so i don't have any specific recs.

      I do not fully understand why walking in the old city was difficult. I found Chiang Mai very walkable. The distances between areas are a bit longer but it's great just getting lost in local areas. Take a few turns to keep off the big roads. Even inside the old town, there are dozens of small alleys with locals saying hi as you walk by. No car noises, nothing. Just ... explore?
