Travelers' tips   Dirk van Ostaden - Vote: 9"Chiang Mai is my favourite, because its culture and history with its prettymoat, crumbling city walls and many tempels and pagodas. you canmake adventure trips to mountain national parks and waterfalls, trekking,elephant riding, family attractions and more. The Night Bazaar and theSunday Walking Street are a must being in Chiang Mai. Last but notleast... all before mentioned goes along with affordable accomodationand restaurants."  Riekie - Vote: 5"Many thing are not good here, the food is to spicy every where, so agood thai restaurants is not easy to find, a like cream tartaar in sankampaeng. They have verry good food only you can have bier orsomething stronger. The service is bad in the big shopping centrums andthey dont speak english."Not to be missed: the caves  Kevan - Vote: 7"Chiang Mai est and is one of the nicest cities in Thailand, with the bestfood in the country right here in Chiang Mai, and if you stay away fromthe places that cater to the tourist, you will find it a real bargain comparedto Bangkok, Phukjet and Pattaya."
