Hello
Hey everyone, it's been a while
Here, I'm saying hi from the airport again
I'm off to Chiang Mai
Stay tuned to see what I eat, where I go
and all the beautiful places I visit!
It's 9:40 right now
(I'm here with a close friend) After snapping some pics of the hotel
we're heading to
a 2 minutes away place
Lookbua thai food
(Thai version of Kimbap Heaven / Decent taste / Wide price range is plus / Recommend crab curry) - Pad Thai! - Do you want pad thai?
(Thai crab curry) - Is this crab curry 100 baht? - 150 baht
Then it's about 6,000 won ($4.3)
Yes, about that much
(Pad Thai) And this is 60 baht
So, it's about 2,400 won ($1.72)
(Mango Sticky Rice) This is about 2,400 won ($1.72), too
(This is a meal worth 10,000 won ($7.18)!!)
How much is it all together?
- I'll eat first - Looks delicious
The price is crazy
(Satisfied from the first meal in Chiang Mai) Is this 2400 won ($1.72)?
(Eating deliciously)
(On this day, I rested in my hotel)
This is a popular local-style stay in Chiang Mai
and the price isn’t too bad
We booked through Hana Tour since it was the cheapest
(Including breakfast) It was about 500,000 won($360) for 2 nights for two people
(Bedroom with balcony) Plus, our room has a balcony
(Highly recommend this stay near Chiang Mai Old Town)
(I came out to eat breakfast)
(I ordered an acai bowl and a green salad)
(Morning vibes with birds chirping)
(We had the pool all to ourselves, so it was super relaxing)
(Enjoyed swimming)
- Where are we headed now? - To Wat Phra Singh Temple
It's a small temple
inside Chiang Mai's Old Town
I thought it'd be a great spot to soak in the local vibes
So I'm checking it out
(It had a dress code, so I covered it up and went in.)
- Wow, it must be hot - It's 20 baht
Oh, it's hot
(Monk was sitting there)
(I took a short look and moved on to a nearby cafe)
(Open until 5:30 PM / Recommend the 2nd-floor terrace / Wi-Fi and AC are on point) (Akha Ama, one of Chiang Mai's top 3 coffee spots)
(Close to Wat Prasing Temple) (There are more seats on the 2nd floor than on the 1st floor)
(There were signature menus) Wow, there's peach in it?
But this one is the signature one
Mine is coffee with orange peel
I can see the peel
- Like this - Wow
I ordered MANEE MANA coffee
It's made with orange peel, honey, and coffee
(The scent of orange)
This is totally my style
Really? Let me try it too
So, let me tell you what happened after we got to the hotel...
(Huh... Everyone..) There was a bit of drama..
(Turns out, I lost a gift I was supposed to give to my friend.. I checked my footage, and it was with me at Chiang Mai Airport)
(It went missing after the Grab taxi ride, so I contacted the driver, but he didn't know anything)
(I couldn't even directly talk to the driver and had to go through Grab customer service, which made it complicated)
They told me to report it
to the nearest police station if I want to find it
So, I’m wrapping up my coffee and heading there now
Curious about what Chiang Mai police stations look like?
Let me show you
(I came to the police station and filed a case)
Everyone, the exterior of the police station looks like this
(Thankfully, the driver cooperated) The Grab driver said he'll be here in 30 minutes
We have a lot of plans right now
So, we're going to eat noodles nearby
(Open until 9 PM / Popular spot for Koreans / Chili powder here is quite spicy / Menu #8 and #9 are the most popular)
If you look here, the best choice is marked here
Korean people's favorites are #8 and #9
Number 8, Galbi noodles
We both ordered the same menu
I ordered the 8th one, which is Korean's favorite, and the wide side
That's the taste of the meat soup
(Mild level of spices) It tastes like Soi Yeonnam's noodle
A more flavorful, savory taste
It's delicious
It's rice noodles that are mushy like this
(Going back to the police station after eating...)
(Many of the police officers were very kind and helpful)
(I've reached out to my next passengers)
(But I couldn't find it until the last day)
(Still, the people who helped me were very kind)
(The driver also gave me a ride to the hotel)
Actually, I was a little upset at first when this happened
Continuously
I was like, 'This is totally YouTube-worthy!' and asked my friend to film it for me
But honestly, it’s so draining
(Met up with my friend back at the hotel for some afternoon tea)
(Time to forget what happened and enjoy the rest of the trip!!)
Now, us
My friend went to a yoga class
while I rested a bit in the hotel room
Now, we're heading to a place called Kalm Village
It’s a very trendy
cultural complex
It had restaurants and cafes
And little stores
to look around and shop
Oh it’s very fancy
The glasses are nice
(It’s new so there was less to see than I expected)
(We looked around a bit and went to eat)
(Famous for its clay pots) We’re going to get soft and tender lean meat
(Open till 8 PM / Soft meat / No A/C / Corn som tum is good)
It’s really crispy on the outside
and the inside is moist
But not greasy at all!
The corn som tum
The sauce is garlicky
so very Korean oriented
(Cooking Class type review) The sweetness of the corn wraps it up nicely
And this has freshwater crab in it?
(Friend+owner of lost gift) This is the crab
It has little crabs in it
And a fish sauce type sauce
So good with rice
(Music and vibes were great at this jazz bar)
(4 floors and the start times are different per floor)
(No snacks just drinks, grab a bottle of beer)
(End of the second night)
(9 AM, heading out to a tour reservation)
(Elephant)
Arrived at elephant farm
It wasn’t 30 minutes
(5 hour tour / Good for pics / Costs around $15) maybe around 50 minutes from the center
This is
a place with elephants
and you can feed them
(They don’t approach you without food lol)
Eat this one
(Luring it in)
(Gave food to the baby)
- The sky is blue - It looks nice for wedding pictures
(Got such good pics)
(One with my sister)
(Artist town, Ban Khang Wat)
Looks cool
I ordered from a recommendation
What was it called?
- Pesto... - Ricotta something
Pesto ricotta
Someone recommended it to me
- Are these sun dried tomatoes? - Yes
Lucola is on top and basil pesto is on it
And I think the dough is all baked in brick oven
(Open until 10 PM / Chewy dough / Can order with QR / Value for money is so-so) There's a brick oven
And the signature here is what I ate!
Pesto ricotta and red hot chili bacon are the signature menus
Dough was chewy and delicious since it's baked in a brick oven
(Thanks for the good food, it was so good) Bye
(Found a rainbow) I can see the rainbow here
No, inside the camera
I can't see it now
(Open until 10 PM / Great for photos, but it's crowded / Pricey for Chiang Mai / Recommended for pics purpose)
(Everything looks really good in pictures)
(Arrived at the second accommodation in Chiang Mai)
I'm going to unpack and go out for dinner
(They played in the hotel swimming pool)
(I watched it for a while and went to eat)
I think they're all Somtam here
(Grilled chicken spot / Some menus unavailable late / Tourist hot spot / Recommend the fried papaya) I want this #24
- Wait, let me mark it - Let's hurry up
(Looking for a nearby massage shop while waiting for food)
It came out while I was talking to you
What's up with this timing?!
Did all menus come out? No?
They're all served
It's fried somtam
I think this is the only fried somtam place
This is roast chicken
It's the most famous here
There were a lot of reviews that Koreans will like it
(It's so good) This is corn som tam I had yesterday which I loved
- It looks so moist - Seriously amazing, it's insanely tender
(Fried papaya tastes perfect for beer)
(I recommend this Cherng Doi)
Cheng Doi
That was delicious
- I ate so well - Yes, I really enjoyed it
(Happiness of 10,000 won ($7.18) in Chiang Mai) No, this is 10,000 won ($7.18)
(Until 1 AM / Spacious loft-style setup / Franchise cafe / Super chill with great AC)
There's a recommendation here
I chose among signature and recommended menu
It’s so cute
Look, he looks so much like a baby
Both of the massages that we found in a hurry are
impossible to walk in today
(Google rating 4.6 / Reviews say it's the best) So I found a place in a hurry with a good rating
Nimman massage
I think this is the best place
We did one massage a day
And got our third massage today
We're both saying that this is the best lol
Thai massage is 300 baht for an hour
300 baht is.. about 12,000 won ($8.60)?
They're so kind
(Come to 'Daravalee Massage' when you are in Chiang Mai) It seems to me that they have good knowledge of acupoint
Now we are heading to jazz bar again
Shelby Bar!
It takes three minutes to get there
(But we needed to wait for an hour to enter)
(So we moved to another jazz bar)
(Cheers with my friend)
(It was more fun as there was song I know)
(You should come to jazz bar when you are in Chiang Mai)
(Enjoying some music)
(Arrived at my accomodation)
A while ago, guys
After my friend uploaded a story on Instagram
(maybe they loved her picture) we told you that we got a DM from CHINO@NIMMAN
And they upgraded our room like this
(The room looks super super good) they gave us a suite
(Slept tight, thanks to them.. ending the third day..) So, I'll come back
tomorrow morning
Bye
(Starting with hotel breakfast as well!)
(I make sure to swim when I am at hotel)
(I got a massage after swimming)
After we checked out earlier and left luggages
I got a massage from the place I made a reservation
and I'm getting back to my hotel
to have some afternoon tea!
(Arrived at hotel)
(I paid for this hotel) To introduce briefly
about CHINO@NIMMAN
It's located in Nimman area
I made a resevation on Agoda
And it was 230,000 won ($165) per night then
We googled plenty of platforms
but getting a cashback promotion on Agoda
(Make a reservation after you compare between other platforms!) was the cheapest and affordable
That's the way I made my reservation
This is so beautiful
(We ate indoor because it was too hot)
(Open until 6:30 PM / Warm latte is famous / Tastes like normal coffee / Champion of latte art)
I'll try this dirty coffee
(Savoring..)
(This is so good!!)
The dirty coffee is really nutty here
(Luckily, we could see him doing a latte art)
- Champion of latte art - He is the champion of latte art
I could filmed doing a latte art
How lucky we are!
It's so lucky-HA:D!
I'm gonna go to White Market in One Nimman
(Talking about the outlet vibe) - It’s because of buildings like this - Also a lot of kids
Ah, we can go up to the second floor through here
I bought some souvenirs here
(Bought a bunch of elephant dolls haha)
(My friend has an earlier flight back to Korea) Our last plan together before she leaves is...
Sunday Market
Today is Sunday
so there is a huge market
(Sunday-only market, 5-10 PM / Lots of food and souvenirs / Super crowded!)
(A large night market)
- Then I'll leave this here and go get some drinks - Okay okay
(Found a spot to eat on the east side) I'll try this with chopsticks
(There are so many types of food that it's hard to choose)
(But it's really crowded...) I think I see the end
(Right after leaving the market, she left to the airport)
(I checked in at the hotel which I'm going to be staying alone)
Let me introduce the facilities
There are so many
There is a spa like this
a gym and a swimming pool
a sauna and a kid's club
(Swimming pool is so important to me!!) I booked this place because I fell in love with the pool pictures
(it was as good as the pictures when I went there) so I'm so excited
It's on the second floor
They really gave a lot
This is 180 baht, which is about 7,000 won ($5)
(The rooftop on the 22nd floor)
(After watching the night view, I came back to my room)
(After having a hearty breakfast)
They made a smoothie with mango and milk
(Opens until 6 PM / Strong Wi-Fi and A/C Warm vibe / Price is reasonable)
(I got my nails done)
It's so pretty, isn't it?
I really, really like it
I removed my previous nails and got a new one
and it took about 1.5 hours
So for 90 minutes
it was 20,000 won ($14.35)
The owner here is really professional
They did it with such great sense and kept it really neat
I really love it
(It feels like a park that the school has landscaped beautifully)
(It's quiet and perfect for a walk, definitely worth a visit)
It says Visit CMU like this
(It's nice to walk, but taking a shuttle might be a good idea too) There’s a shuttle stop right nearby
And there is a cafe at the back where I just went
This is a shop where they sell clothes or goods
Overall, cafes and places like this are quite new here
It's very clean inside
(Bye, beautiful CMU) And the employees were so kind
There's a Tomyum Goong
and a coconut soup
and also a pad thai
I'm going to order one morning glory and a mango curry
(Open until 8 PM / Local Thai food place Has a vegetarian menu / Great mango curry)
I heard that mango curry at this restaurant is really famous
(After eating mango curry, I left for the airport)
(A Chiang Mai trip worth coming back for)
(The end!)
We've traveled together on Chiang Mai's VLOG
