There are a number of companies that specialise in zipline experiences throughout Chiang Mai which range in price. Based on user reviews, and cost we selected Jungle Flight which didn’t disappoint. The drive was approx 1 hour from the centre of Chiang Mai city and there are some steep and windey roads, so be prepared …
We were warned not to visit the hill tribes just outside Chiang Mai as it was commercialised, however we wanted to do a tour and ran out of time on the day. We drove for about 40 minutes up one of the mountains close to Chiang Mai where we reached what looked liked like a …
To find good coffee is sometimes difficult, and good coffee while travelling even harder. We saw a review on a small coffee house in the in-flight magazine on Bankok Air and decided we must try it. It was some distance from our hotel but we arranged a tuk tuk to take us there for Thb100. …
We don’t usually travel to Thailand in the high season, but this year was an exception. We picked the Chedi hotel because of its design, high recommendation and location and the hotel didn’t disappoint us.

The flower beds …
Getting to Chiang Mai was easy, a flight to Bangkok with an overnight stay at the airport and then a 10.00 am flight on Bangkok Airways. Bangkok airways is a full service airline with free club lounge access for its passengers. The service provided is fairly basic, but nonetheless it’s better than some other airlines …
My wife and I had been invited to attend a wedding in Chiang Mai in February 2013, the last few times we haven’t used a travel agent, as we have been able to shop around for good prices on hotels and flights etc. Although we are travelling during the shoulder season, we were still able …
I think we went to every shop in Bangkok today, they have some great bargains. Before we left for Thailand, we stumbled over a restaurant that had some great reviews. It’s called Eat Me and its located near Pat Pong. It’s modern and the food creative, although it’s more expensive than your standard restaurant, it’s …
This was one of the first times we had flown during the day and not the flight that leaves at 1 am. Although it seemed to take longer, its just because we didn’t sleep. I watched my Ipad most of the way and surprisingly I only consumed 30% power. Its only a matter of time …
