Not difficult to see where the food is unique, because in the guide books and tourist brochures are distributed free at airports, ports and various shopping malls, restaurants names Kaithong there are a variety of objects in between tours in Chiang Mai.

Do not be fooled, while enjoying steak or cobra piton snake, you can also breathe in the cool mountain air. Chiang Mai is located in the area that is surrounded by mountains and forests. Kingdom of Thailand deliberately promoting the city as one of the all-round green. In addition to the forest, and ornamental plants have flowers.

For foreign tourists, the atmosphere cool and fun is all green apart .. Especially for tourists from continental Europe, the cold air is not a hindrance. "We like to be here" (we like living here), said an Italian tourist.

Chiang Mai is deliberately build a restaurant for many foreign tourists. If the Kaithong typical food can be enjoyed only in the world, in other places have a restaurant that sells food with the West. Charoen Prathet Road in the did not find difficult "pasta flour" Italy. Similarly, "beef" from the United States

In Charoenprathet, Changklan Off Road, Shere Shiraz Restaurant sells authentic food from South Asia and the Middle East. There are tandoori goat, typical Indian bread, curried chicken and others.

For those who embrace Islam, the label is available with kosher food. So do not worry, eat "food" there, because there are no pigs or type of food that is prohibited according to Islamic belief.

Disconnect - The road to the area where tribes live in the mountains around Chiang Mai is not forever mulus as one of the bridge is lost.

Transportation tuk-tuk

In Chiang Mai there are so many places jajan. How cheap can be on the road. The second also have costs. A number of restaurants that set the price moderate. However, if you want to prestigious food, some hotels provide food prices with "the rich."

Food is one of the attractions in tourism object in Chiang Mai. To maintain the authenticity of the dishes presented to foreign tourists, the Kingdom of Thailand to do with the strict supervision of the control routine. In places with clean, no meat sold piton snake, cobra and crocodile. Especially pork.

However, in a restaurant without a label halal, meat is sold free of any. "Unless human flesh," joke of a police officer. As a country that one of the foreign exchange income from tourism, Thailand deliberately formed Tourism Police.

Duty to maintain safety and security of foreign tourists. They are equipped with an ability to speak English. Know the places of interest. Memorize a variety of shopping centers and at the same time can function as a pilot (guide). Tourism to participate in the police control in places of entertainment that mushroom.

In addition to a restaurant typical Kaithong, Chiang Mai have any places that sell the products of tribes (tribal). They inhabit a particular area such as mountains and forests around. Crafts tribes Thailand (Thai Tribal Craft) can be purchased in Bumrung Rat Road.

Products that are sold, among others, cloth weaving, arrow, knife, spear, hats, jewelry jacket. Stores in the Rat Bumrung Road are open at 9 o'clock am to 5 pm. Shops close on Sunday, because it is a break at work.

The Chiang Mai night in another atmosphere. Various entertainment can be enjoyed. However, in any entertainment center, Thai food products that have been "go international", among others, Tom Yam is never absent.

Benefits of tourism sector in Thailand is not solely on the natural beauty and entertainment, but also its ability to promote "food" and diverse.

If you want to come to a restaurant, do not always need the expensive taxi fare. Because in Chiang Mai, tourists can ride vehicles like bajaj, called tuk-tuks. In addition to low tariffs, this means of public transportation, could go to anywhere. Whether to hotels, entertainment venues, restaurants.

Passengers tuku-tuks, not just the low income. Public transportation, the passenger can have a pocket filled with thick, such as government officials, businessmen, diplomats and senior officer. So do not wonder, if we see tuk-tuk-star hotel in the park. The government did not prohibit and restrict the operation to the tuk-tuku anywhere.

So prestige someone determined not only using the expensive vehicles. Employers are very rich, do not feel low-self if the tuk-tuk ride. While this means of transportation, like bajaj. In Indonesia, there are no officials and businessmen who ride bajaj. But in Thailand is a conglomerate of the usual "bertuk tuk-ria."

General atmosphere

The development of tourism in Chiang Mai, appear with the restaurant Kaithong bring another atmosphere. In addition to the characteristics typical food, Thailand appears to be different want to sell the objects in the tour. If this country during this white elephant, with a popular sex tourism, the presence Kaithong bring the image itself.

Of course, for tourists from the Islamic countries, difficult to try dishes such as steak meat piton snake, cobra and crocodile. But for those who come from Europe, America, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea, there is no prohibition.

Crafts - Crafts tribes Thailand (Thai Tribal Craft) can be purchased in Bumrung Rat Road. Products that are sold, among others, cloth weaving, arrow, knife, spear, cap, jacket and jewelry.

To catch the snake and cobra piton from the forest, apart expertise required. There are special diviner to membekuknya. If you do not have special expertise, do not try catch. Forest animals are vicious and this can have toxic.

That is not much known, cook in Kaithong was already tried. Bau piton snake, a crocodile and cobra sting is not a hindrance to be processed into the form of international cuisine steak. But for people of cloud, that smells good and does not sting, it can make stomach mules and vomiting.

Thus in the location of this distinctive country white elephant, which has other creations in the trawl foreign tourists as much as possible. So in the campaign, Thailand dare write "the only snake steak in the world" when Kaithong operate.

However, in some time, to predict the emergence of protest from the lover of nature. Moreover, if groups like Green Peace, and go hunting and slaughter snakes and crocodiles to human consumption. Until now, cutting atmosphere snakes and crocodiles are still in normal limits. This means do not disturb the ecosystem.

If not restricted, is not impossible the only restaurant in the world to sell the snake and crocodile steak will be closed. This happens, continue to flow because of protests from the various corners of the world. Whale and a dolphin on the timeless, the global protests. Moreover, snake and crocodile, which is limited.

But separated from the concerns that have not occurred, the object creation tour of Thailand is a resource designed attraction. At least in other countries that have forests and animals, can make different creations to encompass foreign tourists in large numbers.

The Golden Triangle

Thailand North, not simply have an interesting Chiang Mai. There is another city that is not less istimewanya. Namanya Chiang Rai, located in the Golden Triangle (The Golden Triangle). Has long been called "The Golden Triangle" are very frightening. Because production is at the center pipe (opium) in the world.

"The Golden Triangle" located in the three countries. Namely Thailand, Myanmar and Laos. If the Mekong river, we can see directly the three countries, which restricted the mountains. From where the pipe flows since a long time, because it can be processed to be drug addict and drug-type drugs.

However, with the Chiang Rai area and surrounding mountains in the Golden Triangle, Thailand, want to change the image of eerie. How to build a regional tour. Chiang Rai has many hotels, entertainment venues and shopping centers.

In Chiang Rai can be purchased product tribes that really comes from the Golden Triangle area. There are bags, toys, clothes, sarongs, sucker and opiate-carved fretwork. Up to the mountain region, built the market, hotels, shops and a casino in order to encompass foreign tourists.

But that is not in Chiang Rai is a snake and crocodile steak. But the matter of stone, do not ask .. Product jewel origin Chiang Rai is famous. Moreover, the area border with Myanmar, which is also popular with a similar product. So once set foot, gets foreign tourists buy goods made tribes and various gem.

The need to develop the example in the tourism sector, Thailand successfully juggle food and exclusive area of opium. Both this creative, designed not just interesting for foreign countries. But the effect of foreign tourists to be better, so enter Thailand. Not simply float in the sex tourism campaign.

Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai is an example of a bad image. From this side we should hold up thumb. Objects appear to develop many tourist whim. Depending on how to handle and promote it.
