This view deserved a special post all to itself……this photo, of The Mae On Valley, was taken during a recent road trip soon to appear in ‘Places to Go’.
May 172009
Its been a busy start to 2009, not just for the business but for me personally, as I give my myself more and more to do. This being the case its a very ‘happy’ busy venture, that is giving me much enthusiasm for the year ahead.
Just the other day I had another day out with Ally and was introduced to the wonderful site of Wiang Kum Kam.
By all accounts, this fantastic historical site was the original ‘Chiang Mai’ before the River Ping changed its course, flooding the area and burying it in silt. The site was apparently discovered around 20 years ago during preparation work for a football pitch.
Look in again later in the week, for a more in depth write up on this great attraction.
We also went on to visit Bo Sang Craft village and Wat Doi Saket. You can read a fuller account of this day out in ‘Places to Go’ later today.
Sunday was taken up with The Chiang Mai Toyride which you can read all about in the ‘Get This’ section.
This week will see more additions to our ‘Day in the Life of…’series and new pages in the Photo Guide to Chiang Mai.
So I best stop rambling and get on with it all…see you later. Chok Dee.
Situated at the bottom left hand corner of Chiang Mai Old Town, this is a great place to visit if you want time to relax away from the shops and tourist areas, without going too far.
Relax by the water; get some food; have a massage; maybe play badminton; or join the many ‘walkers’ on the path that circuits the park.
You might like to feed the pigeons or the fish; there is as much or as little to do as you please in this wonderful public park.
It is also often used as a venue for activities during such events as The Flower Festival, (in February).
And there is a large concreted sports area, where you will often see the traditional Thai game of Ta Kaw being played.
