Travel Photography Ideas in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Travel photo in Chiang Mai, Thailand, photo 1

After spending 2 days in Bangkok, the next stop of our Thailand trip is Chiang Mai. I think Chiang Mai was one of my favourite parts of this whole trip, its a quiet city nestled within the mountains and forests, so there is lots of green around. There are also so many different places to visit and things to do!

We found a driver who took around to all the sights throughout the 2 days we were in this city. Everything is about a 1 - 2 hour drive from the city centre of Chiang Mai, so we tried to squeeze in seeing as much as we possibly could! We went to the top of Doi Suthep Temple and visited some temples and viewpoints along the way up the mountain, explored the local markets, visited and ethical elephant sanctuary (where you don’t ride the elephants, only feed them and walk WITH them), explored the sticky waterfalls and climbed many steps to get to Muang On Cave. I can’t forget I also practically ate my weight in Papaya and Longang - the fruit is absolutely delicious and so cheap too!

You can watch the video of my time in Thailand below which includes behind the scenes of how I took some of the photos in this blog post. And please subscribe to my YouTube Channel if you haven’t already! I upload new photography related videos every single Wednesday.

All photos are edited with:
