I decided to come to Chiang Mai after seeing the film Lost in Thailand which was very popular in China. The thing I like best? The culture. Also, the scenery makes you very relaxed!

I’ve spent the last three winters in Thailand, and last year I stayed in Chiang Mai for three months – Shanghai’s so cold! I like the food and the company best, especially in the Nimmanhaemin area.

My mother is originally from Thailand, but our family lives in Shanghai. I’ve been to Chiang Mai as a child, but I am happy coming here as an adult to the beautiful culture and to eat all the delicious food.

I came to Chiang Mai for the experience of teaching Chinese language to monks. It is a great experience, and I also love Chiang Mai for the good, cheap food that is everywhere!

We’ve heard wonderful things about Chiang Mai _ we just arrived today. We’re really looking forward to seeing the gold Buddhist temples and beautiful scenery.

I’m here volunteering – I teach monks Chinese which is really interesting! For me, the Buddhist art drawn by the monks I teach (even the younger ones!) is what I have come to love most about the city.

I travel to Thailand because it’s one of the best countries in the world. This is my second time in Thailand, but first in Chiang Mai. I like it because it’s less busy than Bangkok and is less expensive for shopping.

The food in Chiang Mai is delicious and the shopping at the markets is incredible. I also came to Thailand for the beautiful beaches.
