Photography: Snapshots From Chiang Mai

 


(Drivebycuriosity) - Chiang Mai is a place full of wonders. There is so much to discover and to admire. 

 





Since my arrival on Sunday I got a lot inspirations for snapshots.

 


 
 


 

The metropolis is blessed with ubiquitous Buddhist temples, called Wat. All of them are marvelous, filled with colorful & filigrene architecture and sculptures. 

 



 


The city expanded to a sprawl with about 1.5 million people but there are still many green parts with a lush tropical vegetation

 



The city grew along a river and there are scenic canals

 



Chiang Mai is a green city. Many hotels and homes have a tropical garden and often houses are surrounded by coconut trees, banana plants and tropical flora.

 


 

Above a glance on the fancy real estate of the Four Seasons Resort above the northern valley part of Chiang Mai`s sprawl. Their elaborately designed gardens include even some rice fields.

 

 


Above the bamboo framed entrance to the classy Tamarind resort in the historical middle of the city. There is also a restaurant, the Ruen Tamarind, with offers chef created delicious local cuisine.

 



I spotted this cannonball tree on the territory of Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon.

 




Being interested in architecture I spot so many remarkable buildings

 





 

in the night Chiang Mai becomes mystical

 




and there are many more discoveries.
