My Chang Mai - guide to life in Chaing Mai

So, you want to know what life is like in Chang Mai?

We've asked a few of our friends and site visitors to tell you about their Chaing Mai, the way they see it. In fact Chang Mai perhaps has the largest concentration of foreigner residents of all Thai cities. Of course the Thais love their city too, and we've collected a varied selection of anecdotal descriptions on many aspects of Chaing Mai life.

Why not send us yours too. Every month we award a 500 baht meal voucher to one lucky submission. Try to send us something unique and postive, no longer than 500 words, and we'll usually publish it. Never mind if the English is not too good, we'll edit it. (email: info@1stopthailand.com)
