Thailand\u2019s cultural and foodie capital. It was once the heart of the ancient Lanna Kingdom so you&#8217;ll find centuries-old temples like Wat Phra That Doi Suthep and ancient walls surrounding the Old City. Visitors come for the food, the historic Old City, to take part in traditional festivals like Yi Peng (Lantern Festival), or venture into the surrounding hills for trekking, elephant sanctuaries, and scenic waterfalls. Chiang Mai is home to the famous khao soi dish.\u00a0<span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-size: 1rem;\">Khao Soi originated from the influence of Muslim-Chinese traders who traveled along the Yunnanese trade routes into northern Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-size: 1rem;\">Unlike some Burmese and Lao versions, which are often broth-based and less creamy, the Thai adaptation has a more aromatic, slightly sweet, and spicy flavor.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

Wat Lok Moli is a lesser-known yet historically significant temple located just north of the Old City moat. Dating back to the 14th century, it is best known for its massive brick chedi, which houses the remains of past rulers from the Mengrai Dynasty. Visitors can fill a pitcher of water set on a rope line, then pull on a rope to move the pitcher across the line where it will eventually spill on the chedi. Two friendly men explained this to us and encouraged us to give it a try. Afterwards, one of them was very determined to discuss American politics with me. He had lived on the East coast for years but had retired to his home country of Thailand. He had a lot to say about the danger and evil of Donald Trump. He assured me that Kamala would beat him handily.

It was one of the most unique and visually striking temples I saw on my trip. Located just outside the Old City in the traditional silver-making district, it is covered in intricate silver carvings depicting Buddhist teachings, mythical creatures, and Lanna-style motifs. Originally built in the 16th century, the temple was later adorned with silverwork by local artisans, making it a true masterpiece of craftsmanship. It is an ancient tradition that men only are allowed inside the main ordination hall. I was quite pleased to learn this as a man. Afte entering this fraternal sanctuary I constantly shouted out to Indi, who sat on a bench outside, how incredibly beautiful the interior was! It was a great experience for us both.\u00a0<\/p><p>I returned the scooter to the rental agency located close to our hotel. I walked back to the hotel to study and Indi walked to Oldtown to spend the rest of the day exploring. I would love to go back to Chiang Mai as there was a lot we didn&#8217;t get the chance to

I\u2019m Zach! I have lived in Caguas, PR with my wife Indi since December of 2021 when we moved here for her PA program. More specifically, we live in a small, lovely home perched on the side of a mountain that affords us a beautiful view we never tire of. The small road off the highway to get to our house has eroded to an alarming extent, and will eventually collapse, but to live in such a place is well worth the risk. By day, lush, green mountains are visible extending from a small valley. A river cuts a path between the mountains; a short ride on my moped can take me to a spot in the river where a 6 ft waterfall flows into a round pool where green herons fish and locals cool off. By night, a giant white cross on the hill just below us lights up, on Wednesday\u2019s the sound of the church\u2019s hymns makes its way to our porch. The night comes alive with the sound of frogs and insects and the occasional Puerto Rican screech owl. House geckos crawl around the house\u2019s exterior to hunt bugs drawn by the light. I feel lucky every day to live here and do my best to never take it for granted. We love exploring the island and since moving here, have done and seen a lot. My google maps is a messy mix of pins, many are pins of where I want to visit, and dozens more are favorite spots I have saved, from beaches, to hikes, to restaurants, to cultural sites, and more. Puerto Rico is a big island and there is so much to do. We have played the part of tour guide for friends and family on numerous occasions. I like to plan everything, which means a detailed itinerary crafted for every visit. After several such occasions, I have decided to share a travel guide for future visitors to benefit from my experience of planning travel and traveling around this special island.\",\"sameAs\":[\"http:\\\/\\\/westindiestravel.com\",\"https:\\\/\\\/facebook.com\\\/westindiestravel\",\"https:\\\/\\\/instagram.com\\\/westindiestravel\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.pinterest.com\\\/terrestrialtemple\\\/\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/@westindiestravel\"]}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Chiang Mai | West Indies Travel","robots":{"index":"noindex","follow":"follow"},"og_locale":"es_ES","og_type":"article","og_title":"Chiang Mai | West Indies Travel","og_description":"Chiang Mai 1 August 2024 Chiang Mai is often considered Thailand\u2019s cultural and foodie capital.

I have lived in Caguas, PR with my wife Indi since December of 2021 when we moved here for her PA program. More specifically, we live in a small, lovely home perched on the side of a mountain that affords us a beautiful view we never tire of. The small road off the highway to get to our house has eroded to an alarming extent, and will eventually collapse, but to live in such a place is well worth the risk. By day, lush, green mountains are visible extending from a small valley. A river cuts a path between the mountains; a short ride on my moped can take me to a spot in the river where a 6 ft waterfall flows into a round pool where green herons fish and locals cool off. By night, a giant white cross on the hill just below us lights up, on Wednesday\u2019s the sound of the church\u2019s hymns makes its way to our porch. The night comes alive with the sound of frogs and insects and the occasional Puerto Rican screech owl. House geckos crawl around the house\u2019s exterior to hunt bugs drawn by the light. I feel lucky every day to live here and do my best to never take it for granted. We love exploring the island and since moving here, have done and seen a lot. My google maps is a messy mix of pins, many are pins of where I want to visit, and dozens more are favorite spots I have saved, from beaches, to hikes, to restaurants, to cultural sites, and more. Puerto Rico is a big island and there is so much to do. We have played the part of tour guide for friends and family on numerous occasions. I like to plan everything, which means a detailed itinerary crafted for every visit. After several such occasions, I have decided to share a travel guide for future visitors to benefit from my experience of planning travel and traveling around this special island.","sameAs":["http:\/\/westindiestravel.com","https:\/\/facebook.com\/westindiestravel","https:\/\/instagram.com\/westindiestravel","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/terrestrialtemple\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@westindiestravel"]}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"trp-custom-language-flag":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Zach","author_link":"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/es\/author\/terrestrialtemplegmail-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Chiang Mai 1 August 2024 Chiang Mai is often considered Thailand\u2019s cultural and foodie capital.
