Spice up your trip with some of Chiang Mai’s\u00a0hidden secrets!<\/h4>\n

One of the most popular cities in the north of Thailand, Chiang Mai\u00a0hosts visitors from all over the globe\u00a0enjoying\u00a0the main attractions on the daily. It’s also considered to be one of the popular destinations for families traveling in Thailand<\/a>. But what hidden treasures does\u00a0the city have to offer? Here are 4 must-have experiences below!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Baan Kang Wat Artist Village<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Relatively new, Baan Kang Wat Artist Village is still largely uncharted by the millions of tourists that pass through Chiang Mai, which makes it the perfect excursion for a break from the outside world. The village is home to\u00a0local artists<\/strong> and their respective stores, homey pop-up shops, food stands, and of course coffeeshops galore. You\u2019ll find more than just your average market purchases in the village. Quality, handmade items are for sale, and lovers of all things vintage<\/strong> will have a field day here!<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll definitely find your share of ex-pats fond of the remote-working life in Baan Kang Wat, as they\u2019re certain to be taking advantage of the village\u2019s many caf\u00e9s and free WiFi. Consequently, if you\u2019ve come abroad with your own work to do, this is certainly the place! Many of the coffeeshops are themed and catered to specific tastes. For example, the Library Caf\u00e9 is littered with floor mats and bookshelves, encouraging a relaxing afternoon curled up with Thai tea and a good book.<\/p>\n

If you\u00a0want to do more than simply relax on your vacation, there are also many a workshop you can enjoy. For instance, you can head to the amazing Pa Cha Na Ceramics Studio<\/strong>, where you can get hands-on experience creating your own pottery. You can\u00a0also sit back and watch other artists create.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2-Day Traditional Karen Weaving Class<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in Chiang Mai with kids, this is a fabulous opportunity for them to learn a new skill<\/strong>!\u00a0This experience takes a slightly larger commitment of 2 days. You\u2019ll learn about traditional Karen tribal culture<\/strong> through a unique medium, exploring the local customs and general lifestyle of the people. Weaving is the first thing you\u2019ll notice that distinguishes the Karens from other tribes. The magnificent patterns and colors they use are ones you will learn how to create on this trip.\u00a0You\u2019ll be picked up from your residence in Chiang Mai and embark on a tour that you can personalize<\/strong> if you choose. The standard <\/span>2 day <\/span>Traditional Karen Weaving Class<\/span><\/a> includes: meals and accommodations, two weaving lessons, a northern Thai cooking class, treks to the jungle waterfalls, and of course, a survey of the local markets. The tour runs at\u00a0$110 USD\u00a0per person<\/strong>. It\u2019s suitable for all ages, and the guides there are very attentive.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Monk Chats<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the Chiang Mai temples, or wats<\/em>,\u00a0have a \u201cMonk Chat\u201d program, which\u00a0allows your family to sit with a monk one-on-one and ask them anything you want, from their general lifestyle to specific questions about their beliefs and practices.\u00a0Your family will have the exclusive opportunity of learning\u00a0from Thai monks personally<\/strong>, and you can incorporate it into the inevitable temple hops<\/strong> your family will find itself on. All you have to do in return is provide them with conversation, so they can work on their English! Some Chiang Mai temples of note which offer this program include Wat Chedi Luang, Wat Suan Dok, and Wat Sisuphan, with some available only in evenings and some going on all day. Wherever you decide to go, make sure to do your research beforehand so you get there at optimal Monk Chat time, and get ready for an incredibly enriching experience<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Warorot Evening Market<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The one market you can\u2019t miss, Warorot provides you with endless\u00a0delectable options<\/strong>!\u00a0Sadly, our human bodies aren\u2019t capable of consuming the amount you would need to sample everything in one sitting, but you and your family can definitely make a dent in the various stands and stalls. Meat lovers will enjoy the <\/span>sai ua<\/span><\/i> (Chiang Mai sausage) and <\/span>nam prik ong<\/span><\/i> (chili-tomato pork dip) while vegetarians might want to go for some <\/span>kaeng khanun<\/span><\/i> (jackfruit curry). <\/span>If you visit the market during the daytime, it may mimic the other various markets situated around Chiang Mai, what with its streets full of dried fruit, vegetables, jewelry, silks, handicrafts, goods and wares that could occupy you for hours. However, the prices you\u2019ll encounter here are better than those of other local markets, and the goods are of a higher quality. Give yourself ample time to explore all the corridors and roads, so you can satisfy your pockets as well as your stomachs<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n
