Your 2023 Chiang Mai Guide | Prices and things to see 🇹🇭

- We are finally back in Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand. A place we left a bit of our hearts in 2017. What has changed in the beautiful city of Chiang Mai since covid? Will we still love it?
Chiang Mai really is the city of temples and food. If you love food then this really is your place. Are you asking yourself 'What is there to do in Chiang Mai?'. In fairness the city sleeps during the day but really comes alive on a night and is a backpackers or budget travellers paradise as food can be pretty cheap at the Chiang Mai night bazaar and food markets.
On this episode we cover 3 different food markets all around the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar area including Ploen Rudee, Kalare food market and briefly touch on Chill Square food market which is inside the Anusarn market.
We also walk to the temples such as Wat Phan On and Wat Phra Singh but find ourselves caught out by some very realistic looking monks!
Lots of information filmed in a day to show you the best of what awaits you if you decide to take a trip to Chiang Mai.

Very informative video. I will be in Chiang Mai in about a month and i love how you toured the night markets and showed the food AND prices. I cant wait to get there! Nicely done! Thanks!
Hi Jim. We always show prices on every vlog we do, even back to our very first one as it's the thing we ask ourselves before going somewhere new so we know how much to budget or expect to pay. We absolutely love Chiang Mai and could quite easily live there. We're currently in Krabi and although the South is nice, it just doesn't have what the North does. Hope you have a fantastic time and we are incredibly jealous already! John & Becky x
I was in Chiang Mai in Dec, 2023 with my son. Chiang Mai is my favotite place in Thailand. I also stayed there in 1968 for R&R diring the Vietnam War.
Definitely agree with you John. If we could buy something there we would. Thanks for watching!
Finally, a guide for normal travellers on a budget. I get full of "budget advices" from popular vloggers with hundreds k of subs for nothing with useless advices.
Thank you for this one, really helpfull. Appreciate.
What I can see if I compare from my 2 day stay in 2019 is that food is twice as expansive than back there, but is normal. In january 2024 I will got back to Chiang Mai for 1 full week.
Hey there! Thanks so much for your lovely words. We do our best to be as transparent and honest in every vlog we film. We often find ourselves looking for certain answers that people don't give... especially the stuff you really need to know so that's why we try to fill the gap. Thailand has got more expensive for sure and that will probably continue. Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai was cheaper than down in the south. We found Vietnam more budget friendly all round and that will probably be our first choice over Thailand next time. Hope you have a great trip!
Amazing channel. Great guides and content. Keep it up!
Thanks very much Kevin!
Great job guys thank you

Wow looks amazing me and Julie very impressed and definitely a place we would like to visit
It's one of the only 'touristy' places that we love! You can eat yourself crazy up there. Thanks for watching!
Loved Chang mai, went before as an aimless backpacker10 years ago but going back end of the year to see it properly, nice to get price reference from when i was last there
It's still as good as the last time we went in 2018. This time we extended our stay by 4 nights as we find Chiang Mai hard to leave, it has this hold on you. Definitely cheaper in the North than the South. Thanks for watching and we're glad it's given you some useful info...that's what we try to do on all of our vlogs 🙂
Thank you for video it's useful for me, too.
Even I'm Thai.
Lovely video promoting Chiangmai
Hey there! We absolutely adore Chiang Mai! Glad it helps you too, even as a local 🙂 John & Becky x
Hi Guys, Love this, Thanks so much for sharing, coming to Chiang Mai next month & this has put my mind at ease as its my first solo trip. Very informative too nice one x x
Hey Jess! You'll have a great time. It's incredibly safe too which is another reason why we love it there. We always try and give as much info as we can on any vlog we do so wer are glad it's helped. Enjoy yourself! John & Becky x
@@ParksTravelGuide thank you lovely, happy travels to you both. Great Vlog guys x x
Awww mate thx for the shout out guys
Most welcome!
Excellent video. Landing October 19 into Bangkok, arriving on the 23 into chiang mai for a 20 day stay. Looking forward to visiting those night markets mentioned in the video.
Hey David! Lucky you - CM is our favourite place in Thailand! Glad you found the vlog useful. John & Becky x
Thanks again for a brilliant vlog! Looks amazing! Love to see what you buy as well. Have you bought much for your cabinet at home on this adventure?😆
Glad you enjoyed it. We've got a couple of bits but we only get something from a country we've not yet visited so for the last couple we haven't needed to get anything, which is good for the luggage allowance!
❤
❤️❤️❤️ Back at you!
You can’t beat the 711 toasties! I had about 3 a day! Sometimes I’d just go into a 711 to buy something for the freezing cold air conditioning- loving these vids 👍
Hey Warren. 7-11 saved our tight budget in many countries but got a bit tiring. Becky loved the cheese toasties in Thailand but for me the starch in the plastic cheese got a bit too much 😆. The air con was definitely a welcome relief though. Thanks for watching!
6 months on the road is epic. Keep it going. We were hoping to be in North Thailand again this Summer, but Laos is so much more than we expected. We will be in this are on Our World tour, however. Super excited. It looks like quite a fun time you had. Good on you! We are both ecological anthropologists. Bear studies food culture and food production, and I am a sustainability archaeologist. As such, we love to meet and support creators and guides who share the history, culture, food, and nature on social media. Love what you are doing and hope you might like ours too. Cheers! - Turtle
Hey there. Lovely message to wake up to so thank you. It's not all sunshine and rainbows with full time travel let us assure you. As nice as it is you also get some bad days, that's the real side. We kind of kicked ourselves that we didn't do Laos from Chiang Rai but it's something to leave for the future. We hope you have a great time when you go, Chiang Mai definitely has our hearts ♥️
We were there in January this year. Looks like we went to all the same locations! 👍
You have a built in radar for the best places then! Thanks for watching 🙂
Nice room. Good price. Amazingly, if you shop around it gets even cheaper without sacrificing much. Of course by western pricing it's phenomenal.
Hey there. We dropped on lucky with the room for sure, especially in such a cracking location. The north definitely still has our hearts ♥️

Love the video! Are you from Liverpool??
No. We're from Leeds which is about 1hr 30 drive East from Liverpool.
Good video. You won me over with the prices flashed on the screen. I like to know what things cost. Well done. I'll b checking you out. I hit the like, but need to see more before I subscribe. 👍🇹🇭
Hey again. We always show prices wherever we go and have done since our very first vlog as it's the question we ask ourselves when we go somewhere new and that's the overall 'niche' of our channel. We travel on a budget so although we don't show high end places as in all honesty we simply can't on this trip due to our tight budget, we think even the basics provide a baseline to calculate a daily budget without having to go in blind. We're currently down in Ao Nang so we've got that and a 4 islands boat trip coming soon before we leave Thailand.
@@ParksTravelGuide thanks for the response! Appreciate it. I'll b checking you out. 👍🇹🇭🇻🇳
@@whatsname2649 No worries. We appreciate you taking the time to watch us. We're not actors like some on here but we like to try and help people 🙂
Thanks for another great and informative vlog. Any chance to provide us with the location of these great market, maybe on a map or just neighborhood? Will greatly appreciate that. I am planning to go back to Chiang Mai in October.
Hey Freddy. They are all on the same main road as the night market about 100m apart if that, but still surrounded by the stalls. Ploen Rudee is opposite Hilal street and the others are on the opposite side of the road a bit further down. If you Google the night market then you'll see what we mean. Thanks for watching buddy!
Thanks for your quick response. I will check the
Out, hopefully in October.
Hiya guys 😊 wow, the temples in this place are absolutely stunning, the monks made me chuckle when you were right in front of their faces after the bowing 🙇♂️ I was like…..what are you doing John 😮 and then I too realised that they were not real 😂😂😂😂 Lovely top you bought Becky ❤ the food as always looked so good. I cannot believe how cheap it all is there. Just one thing though…..you don’t fish 🎣 in toilets???? What’s wrong with you 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ey up Kezzzaaaa! Chiang Mai really is a special place to us. We felt idiots after but we doubt we were the first and won't be the last! The food is fantastic, although on a price point for us we have £40 between us (less if the hotel and travel for that day is over £20 which is all too often) so our budget hasn't really gone as far in Thailand, especially down in the South where we are now. Glad to see you pop up in our notifications! Much love x
Hey guys what camera are you using
Hey there. The Canon M50 mk 2 is our main power house and we also use an iPhone 13 Pro for other clips where we don't want to attract attention. Underwater we use an Apeman as we couldn't afford a GoPro at the time, although it's what we are aiming for. Hope it helps!
Hi, I've been waiting for a long time to see your video clips. I sell taxi tickets Thank you for coming to visit Chiang Mai. And thank you for using my company's taxi service. I love you guys.🥰🥰🤭🤭🤭
Hey! We absolutely love Chiang Mai. Sorry it took so long. Be sure to share us with your friends and you might get famous! Haha 🙂
@@ParksTravelGuide I will definitely share your video.🥰🥰
Thank you very much ♥️
How much for the street walkers ?
No idea. Not a service we need 😆
