hat yai VS chiang mai/rai

[Avante7227]

nope, never.
so far, we went khao yai and khao kho to view the sunflower..
kinda disappointment but least, better than SG

If you do go for the Mae Hong Son loop (takes about 4-5 days), do go to Ban Rak Thai (a beautiful Yunnan village) and Tham Nam Lod cave

thinking of bringing my elderly mum sometime next year for a road trip.

She told me things have changed pretty much in Hat yai while i'm more keen in chiang mai/rai.

I did some goggle on hat yai, seem kinda boring and not much attractions.

We have been to hua yin, khao kho etc.
intend to do the same, rent a car and drive around.

some sharing and suggestion please

I think you should ask her, whether she want shopping trip or attraction trip. I think her answer will save you lot of time considering
Btw khao yai is nice getaway place and near to BKK to end the trip with some shopping. Ops you been Khao Yai liao.

Yes, Chiang Mai cool season is from Oct to Jan.
I think you been to many places in Thailand liao, not easy to plan unless you want to go again.

iirc, they have some yearly event, if you go around those dates, should be more memorable.

no thanks! just another commercial event

 

[BlackCube]

eh, it's not IMO. the hellfire one yes (it's for vet), but not the city river one

such serious event surely will have restrictions. they can't allow fun loving carefree tourists to create mess right?

 

[BlackCube]

can't recall the exact details of the event, I might be wrong though. didn't go google.

people who go will not make mess, people who make mess will not probably not go for this kind of event.

I went in late Jan, in the city is cooling (like on aircon) very shiok.
Early morning need to wear jacket, I think arund 20 degree.
Went up mountains lowest 5 degree, when the sun come up, temperature drop to 20+.
Lot of shopping in Chiang Mai too.
