Thailand's Beauty in the North! 🇹🇭

Exploring Chiang Mai’s Old Town is like stepping into a living postcard! 🏰✨ The ancient walls, built in 1296, still stand tall, with the iconic Tha Phae Gate as the star attraction—perfect for snapping pics with flocks of friendly pigeons 🕊️ and its historic red-brick charm. Wander the maze of streets lined with golden temples like Wat Phra Singh and Wat Chedi Luang, where intricate carvings whisper tales of the Lanna Kingdom 🏯 . Don’t miss the Sunday Night Market, bursting with handmade crafts, spicy street food, and live music—it’s a feast for the senses! 🎪🍜 . Rent a bike 🚲 or stroll under shady trees, stopping for iced coffee or a Thai massage. By night, the gate glows under golden lights, with street performers adding magic to the air 🌙🎶. Old Town? More like gold town! 💛 #thailandtrip #chiangmai
