Trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand 🇹🇭

It is my second time to Chiang Mai, Thailand. We started our day early and hiked the Monk’s Trail to Wat Pha Lat, a serene temple hidden in the forest 🌳 Unlike the crowded spots, this temple is peaceful and feels untouched. We loved photographing the moss-covered stone paths, tranquil streams, and intricate carvings. Arriving at sunrise ⛅️ around 6:30 AM gave us soft light and fewer people, making it perfect for pictures. 📍Suthep-Pui National Park, Tambon Suthep, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50200 We also ventured up Doi Suthep to discover Ban Khun Chang Khian, a small Hmong village known for its cherry blossoms 🌸 in January and February. Even without the blossoms, the rustic charm of the village, combined with misty mountain views, was enchanting. I’d recommend visiting in the late morning (around 10 AM) when the clouds begin to lift, revealing the landscape 😍 📍Khun Chang Khian Rd, Chang Phueak, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50300 We also explored Baan Kang Wat, an artsy village tucked away from the city. The quaint studios, local craft shops, and hidden garden cafes ☕️ were a photographer’s dream 📸 The lighting around 4 PM added a magical golden hue to our shots. I would recommend spending an afternoon ☀️ here, sipping coffee while capturing the creative atmosphere 🙌🙌🙌 Baan Kang Wat 📍191/1 Moo 5, Tambon Suthep, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50200 For an unconventional night shot, we visited the Iron Bridge, where colorful lights reflect beautifully on the Ping River. The calm ambiance and vibrant lighting made it one of our favorite spots for long-exposure shots 📸 Arriving around 7 PM gave us the perfect mix of blue-hour and city lights ✨ 📍Saphan Lek, Chiang Mai-Lamphun Rd, Tambon Wat Ket, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50000 #thailandtrip #vacation #travel
