Chiang Mai is more cost-effective for a family trip | Detailed parent-child travel guide included
In 2013, we celebrated the Yi Peng festival in Chiang Mai
The touching moment of thousands of people releasing sky lanterns is still unforgettable
10 years later, we have grown from 1+1 to 3
In 2023, bringing our child to Chiang Mai for the Yi Peng festival was an unforgettable travel memory at the end of the year

🔸Market tour🔸
It is recommended to include a weekend in your itinerary, the weekend markets in Chiang Mai are really good
🌴Coconut Grove Market
The market in the coconut grove, full of atmosphere, is really photogenic, and children can feed lambs for a few dollars
🛍️JJmarket
A very artistic market, the shops are very interesting, there are places for children to play, and various local snacks are great
💡Saturday night market and Sunday night market are very lively, and the things are more commercialized, the cost-effectiveness of the night market's Thai massage is 💯
🔹Nimman Road white night market and JJ are similar
🍉Warorot Market is a local market, the prices are more reasonable, suitable for buying souvenirs when leaving

🔸Tour of Chiang Mai Old City🔸
🛕Temple tour
The temples in Chiang Mai old city are very beautiful, you can spend a day or two visiting, Wat Phan Tao, Wat Phra Singh, and the Silver Temple are very photogenic
🕊️Feeding pigeons at Tha Pae Gate
A point I was looking forward to, thinking that children would like it, but now Tha Pae Gate has been almost contracted by local vendors, my experience was not good

🔸Around Chiang Mai🔸
This time we rented a car to go to the local people's sky lantern venue, and accidentally discovered several points around the old city, which almost contracted the entire scenic area
⛲️Huay Tung Tao Reservoir Park
Various straw-woven animals are like a fairy tale kingdom for children, and there is a lakeside restaurant next to it, which is very interesting
💩Elephant Poo Poo Paper Park
The park can immerse children in the process of making paper from elephant dung, with Chinese explanation
🐘Mae Sa Elephant Camp
We didn't book a one-day tour of the elephant camp, we went here to buy tickets directly and let the children interact with the elephants, 🎫300 beads include a basket of bananas
🌸I love flower farm
A farm suitable for taking flower photos around the old city, it's very good for me who loves to take photos, there is also a Ban na flowers next to it, there are almost no tourists, I took a group of photos for the children here

🔸Cafes🔸
The cafes in Chiang Mai are all great, I feel I can stay in each for half a day

A sheep cafe on the top of the mountain, there is no problem except for being a bit far
