Chiang Mai New Year 2024

Chiang Mai 2024 New Year celebrations. I have covid so stayed in my condo which was OK as the crowds this year were crazy. This was the first time that the Shanghai-La Hotel (just outside my balcony) did their own fireworks and you will see me “flinch” as I had no idea when they set off their fireworks literally yards in front of me. What spectacular show!! The sky-lanterns were (as always) mag...
Chiang Mai - Sky Lanterns (Ye-Ping) 27 Nov. 2023
มุมมอง 4711 หลายเดือนก่อน
This year the winds brought the stream of sky-lanterns directly over my condo in Chiang Mai. At least a dozen “dead” lanterns fell onto my condo one the hotel next to me. Every single year I see this (eight years now) i am amazed at the beauty of it and the surreal feeling of thousands of these lanterns sailing by overhead with the wind. Amazing sight!!

Bicycle ride (electric) to favorite flea market outside of Chiang Mai on an early Sunday morning
มุมมอง 141ปีที่แล้ว
Fun early morning electric bicycle ride to a “proper” flea market just outside of Chiang Mai city (to the north). Very early on a Sunday so not much traffic. Made it back home just before the rain really started coming down. I made a point of getting lost on the way back - which I LOVE to do - and wandered about over an hour after finishing this video. Note: in the location info i put the locat...

The 2022/2023 New Years celebrations in Chiang Mai, Thailand were AMAZING!!! The video was taken over-looking the Shangri-La Hotel looking towards the North over the city.

Chiang Mai Marathon 2022 - Mueang Thai
มุมมอง 195ปีที่แล้ว
This is the yearly marathon for runners here in Chiang Mai (it seems to be pretty well known world-wide actually). I made a point of getting to Thae Pae gate (where it is held) very early. But when I arrived at about 0700 the event appeared to be OVER!!! My daughter and grand-daughter have run in this yearly event several times in past years and it is usually goes on almost all morning, so I do...
Chiang Mai - normal morning ride and I wander into this!!
มุมมอง 77ปีที่แล้ว
This is why I love Chiang Mai!! Little out-of-the-way places have these type of ceremonies going on all the time. (This was however at one of the larger Wats.). I have NO IDEA what this little ceremony was about. Very few people at this ceremony (I am guessing just a few families) and it was short but - as you can see - very beautiful.

However there are food stalls here that will blow your mind!! Soooo good. Make sure you come HUNGRY!!

Loy Krathong/Ye Ping festival in Chiang Mai
มุมมอง 16K2 ปีที่แล้ว
There are actually two different festivals but both are celebrated at the same time. Loy Krathong (floating candles/incense down the river) and Ye Ping (floating sky lanterns up into the sky). Unfortunately this year sky lanterns were NOT allowed within the city. This is SUCH a shame as watching the river of sky lanterns being released and rising into the sky is always an incredibly magical sight.

      Other than online (like Lazada) I do not know of any CM store that sells "ready made" electric bicycles. There is a shop that sells you a bicycle and then installs a Bafang motor onto the bicycle, this is how I got mine.

      I see on Lazada that a Bafang 750 mid-drive motor (which is what I have) goes for about 17,000 baht. A premium battery would probably also be close to this amount. (a 750 watt motor is a lot of motor and if you just want to go around the town a smaller size would be adequate). Add a few thousand baht for the labor to install it.

They really give us the feel of being there. So much better than slick over-produced ones. We also love the way you respectfully greet everyone in Thai. So important.

      It was in the morning - HOWEVER for the past 2 or 3 years the traffic here has been NOWHERE near what it was pre-covid. No tour buses, VERY light traffic for the past 2.5 years. This has made a lot of us very spoiled!!! But - in the past several months I can see the traffic getting back to pre-covid levels. It was "nice" while it lasted!! The Chinese are still not allowed to travel - but once the Chinese Government allows them to travel (I hear before the end of this year) the traffic will shoot up exponentially and the huge tour buses full of Chinese will return to the small CM streets.
