Northern Thailand is amazing! We rented a condo for a month in Chiang Mai at the Tree Boutique Hotel. After staying in countless rooms where the shower head was literally on top of the toilet and the mattresses were hard as rocks with seriously outdated bedding (thank goodness for silk sacks). We reveled at our new accommodations that had brand new sheets, real towels, hot showers, and a small kitchen! We were truly living it up. Our hotel even furnished us with bikes to explore the city with. Which we took full advantage of biking six plus miles everyday to take in all the sights.
Chiang Mai, has a very distinct flare to it. "Old City" boasts everything from $9 massages to organic/ vegetarian restaurants. Several nights a week there are huge markets that sell culinary delights from Indian food, handmade coconut ice cream, to just about anything on a stick. We occupied our time by getting out to sights like the Chiang Mai Grand Canyon, took yoga classes, a Thai cooking class, and even several Muay Thai boxing classes. Learning new things in a beautiful city. Life is good.
