Chiang Mai


Chiang Mai is the second largest city in Thailand. It is located approximately 10 hours drive, or 1 hour flight, north of Bangkok. Chiang Mai is located in the mountains and enjoys a cooler (but still warm) climate than Bangkok, particularly in the cold season (November - February).


There are many things to see and do in Chiang Mai. Some popular tourist activities include visiting the many temples, trekking in the mountains and visiting hill tribe villages, rafting, Thai cooking classes, and close encounters with animals such as elephants, tigers and monkeys. 


Chiang Mai is a very cheap place to visit. You can get a Thai meal for less than $1. Western food is a little bit more expensive, but should still only cost around $3-$5 for a decent meal.


Fang


The wedding will actually be taking place in Lanna's hometown, a town called Fang. Fang is located approxiametly 3 hours north of Chiang Mai. Fang is a lot smaller than Chiang Mai, and is not visited by many tourists. Although it is not a touristy spot, it is very beautiful and there are a number of things to see and do there. You will also get to experience in a real Thai village, something most tourists dont get to see.
