The Royal Park Rajapruek in Chiang Mai, Thailand is a feast for the eyes and a perfect opportunity to indulge in some photography. Originally built to commemorate His Majesty the King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s Accession, his 60th year as the king and his 80th birthday, Royal Park Rajapruek is now counted as the center of agricultural research in Thailand

Wondering what awaits in those hills, the bike read my thoughts and seemed ready to find out. Making quick work of it as it glided along the perfectly smooth roads, the bike and I became one, racing away from the city below flying past the croaking frogs and rice paddies, through thickly forested hills and breathtaking vistas, round the winding roads and waterfalls, cutting through cool, floral-scented air pockets until we reached Doi Suthep.
Call me crazy but last week I flew to Bangkok, Thailand with nothing but a camera, half a suitcase of clothes, my trusty laptop, and an incurable case of wanderlust for new adventures. While that may seem impulsive to my close friends and family, some who've made their opinions concerning my sanity very clear, to me it's perfectly normal. Home is where you feel at home and for me, that's almost everywhere.
Just west of the Chaing Mai University at the the base of the Doi Suthep mountains is the Chiang Mai Zoo and Aquarium, a 200 acre (81 hectares) zoo established in 1977. I'm not a big fan of zoos but when I was having lunch at a nearby place and heard a lion roaring in the forest my curiosity got the better of me. I spent a day visiting the place and snapping pictures.
Strolling through the Huay Kaew Arboretum in Chiang Mai, Thailand I imagined saving the world one forest at a time and stood in amazement under new-to-me trees, basking in hungry curiosity for this novel biosphere. Most of the trees in these parts are hosts to a wide variety of orchids growing on their trunks
Drinking mushroom shakes, buying joints at the bar (you have to smoke them here. That's the rule). Eating Pad Thai, drinking Chang beer and watching hippie chicks hoolahoop to lounge music. Another hard day at the office.
Wow, where are all the people? What time of day did you record this, or is it too cold to swim? :)
Do you recommend Da Nang for a visa run? I'm due for another one in about 2 months...
The water is warm enough to swim in for sure. I'm told the beaches start getting more crowded around March and yes, it's a great place to come for a visa run. This was around 1PM when I took this video. We'll be here in a great hostel for about $5/night including free breakfast and close to the beach and farmers market.
Will be here until at least April 1st. It cost $40 for a 3-month visa to stay here and less for 1-month. The cost of living here is way cheaper than Thailand. You can rent a bike for about $75/month, a meal is around $0.70-2.00, cigarettes are $0,50 a pack, beer is around $0.65-1.00. People are very nice.
Woah, that's good to know. And there's a community, too - nomads or expats or whatever, right? How's the internet?
Would you say it's a Chiang Mai at the beach? That's what I'm looking for (all of us, I guess.. ;))
I'll stay in CM until end of Feb, I think, but then I'll still have 2.5 months before I'm going home. So maybe I'll see you there :)
It's not as touristy as Chiang Mai but there are lots of expats at the hostel and the beach. The internet is awesome here and there's lots of good food. The food is different than in Thailand, not as spicy. The coffee here is really strong. The beach is beautiful and there are many day trips around like the Golden Bridge.
There's also Money Mountain and Marble Mountain.
The weather here is not as hot, around 25-30 C
Well, that all sounds perfect to me! :)
Flights seem to be weird though - you can't get there in one day from CM? I see prices are around $170 one way (in March). Maybe with a day in Bangkok in between it gets cheaper. Anyway, I'll figure it out. Thanks for all the tips :)
I flew on the 1st of January with a layover in BKK for $140 on airasia. Left at 7:30 and was here by 13:00
On the first of January at 7.30am????? What did you do on New Year's eve? :D
Partie all night in Chiang Mai. Just stayed up all night at the Pirate bar, like pirates.
This is the hostel I'm staying at.
