Little Traffic, Few People, but Much to Appreciate … Chiang Mai, Thailand – Street Photography

This street and the surrounding area harkens back a few decades, to a time when cities were smaller, growth was slower, and city life was a bit laid back.

Off the beaten path

This secondary street is just outside of the city center of Chiang Mai. It is lined with a few shops, and is the center of a fair amount of activity. However, this street is not overrun with traffic, most of which is concentrated on Chiang Mai’s bigger streets and thoroughfares. 

The lay of the land, as it’s always been

The gentle curves of the road and the lack of sidewalks indicate that it’s a much older road – possibly a few centuries old. It probably began with the locals following the lay of the land, maybe along a river, or possibly along an easily accessible path through the jungle undergrowth.      Location – Chiang Mai, on Google Maps
