Oh, wherever you go I got to travel and learn with you. Chiang Mai is beautiful. Thammachat and the people are friendly. Delicious variety of food. Thank you.
Chiang Mai was the capital of the Lanna Kingdom for at least 700 years. Some time the city was independent, but most of the time the City was a vassal state of various Burmese dynasties even right through the reign of King Rama I. When the British began to subjugate Burma and eventually abolished the Burmese King, exiling him to British India during King Rama IV reign, Chiang Mai was independent again but within a few decades, Chiang Mai King saw that Siam was beginning to exert influence to the North, the King decided to submit and even sent his daughter to become King Rama V's concubine. When Chiang Mai king died, King Rama V decided not to appoint a new king but put Chiang Mai directly under Bangkok's rule, sending a governor to govern Chiang Mai since then. Chiang Mai has it all, old town with several important temples, Wat Prathat Doi Suthep on 13 km up hill within 20 km from the city center and at the foot of Doi Suthep, there is Chiang Mai University, one of the four regional public universities in Thailand. The others are Khon Kaen in the Northeast, Burapha in the East (Chonburi) and Songkhla in the South. All four regional universities have all traditional faculties including Medicine and Engineering. There is an going project to propose Chiang Mai's old town as Unesco World Heritage within this decade.
Wow that's so interesting! Thanks for taking your time and sharing those details. We've read about the Doi Suthep and the university but not with those background information. Nice to know 👌🏻

That's a jackfruit tree. Jackfruits and durians look similar to many foreigners.
Oh wow, we didn't know they look so similar! Good to know, thank you!

Durian has thorns on the peel. As for the jackfruit, there will be no thorns.
@@leedongzoong989 just googled it - the difference is quite obvious now as we know😀
