Unless you’ve visited Thailand before or dreaming of visiting, you might not have heard of Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is often referred to as the ‘Rose of the North’ and is heaven for food lovers, temple lovers and even those that love shopping! Whilst I’ll go into detail as to what exactly you should be doing in another post, I’ll let the photography do the talking here. So I’ve put together 24 photos to inspire you to visit Chiang Mai!
It only took a few hours in Chiang Mai for me to fall completely in love. From the golden topped temples to the countless bowls of khao soi (here’s everywhere you need to eat), everything about this place will have you wanting to return. You can even look after elephants for a day at nearby ethical sanctuaries. If you haven’t been to Thailand before, hopefully these photos will have you putting Chiang Mai straight on your list.
I’ve tried hard to narrow down hundreds of photos of Chiang Mai to just 24! I could have put every single photo in this post! If you’re thinking about travelling to Chiang Mai and would like any recommendations, feel free to get in touch. All of these photos were taken with the Fujifilm X-T2 and are JPEGs practically straight from the camera.
Wow these photos are amazing thanks so much for sharing ❤️
Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed them!
Great photos, I went there as a base for a hiking trip up into the jungle and it was one of the best trips I’ve done in Thailand, I loved being up in the clouds in a little village surrounded by animals
Thank you! Ah that sounds incredible I wish I had time for something like that!
Loved these photos!!! I’ve never been to Asia but I think Thailand needs to be on my list. I imagine the food is just as delicious and beautiful
Thank you so much! Ah it really does. Originally I never fancied it but I’m so glad I went! The food is incredible…
Wow Jamie, your photos are so amazing! I loved Chiang Mai, it still remains probably my favourite place I’ve ever been to. I only saw there, Bangkok and an isolated resort near Phuket in Thailand so 100% want to go back and do Chiang Mai, Bangkok plus Kho Tao! Melis
Thank you so much Melis! Ah wow it really was amazing! I only went there, Bangkok and Phuket too! I love the craziness of Bangkok too!
I did spent 4 months in South East Asia. Thailand,Laos and Cambodia.
It was magical. I would go back in a heart beat.
Ah brilliant, I absolutely loved it too! Need to get back to South East Asia hopefully one day in the future!
