The climate is warm, the sea is blue, the prices are low, and there are many flights...... There are so many advantages to travel in Southeast Asia.
Unfortunately, the security atmosphere has always been a concern, and there is a small city in Southeast Asia that is eye-catching with the word "security".
According to data published on the Numbeo website,
It has a crime rate of only 24.5, which is significantly lower than the global average,
Its safety index reached 75.9, so you don't have to worry about "Ga waist".
The safest city in Southeast Asia is not in Singapore, but in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Moreover, the Thai prime minister said not long ago that China and Thailand will permanently exempt each other's citizens from March.
In other words, after March, we can go to this small "Buddhist" town with touching prices and slow pace at any time.
The safety factor is high, and the consumption is super low.
This small northern Thai city is so great for a visit!
Chiang Mai, Thailand's second largest city, is much more simple and tranquil than the bustling city of Bangkok, with an ancient city of 1.5km².
The pace of life is very slow, the prices are low, and there are both retro and literary and artistic, and in the first half of 2023 alone, the number of tourists exceeded 100,000.
It's a small town, but you'll also find a bustling night market that rivals Bangkok's, great value for Thai massages, and many exquisite temples at half the price of Bangkok.
Some say that perhaps it is more in line with its temperament to use a country retreat.
It is also Teresa Teng's favorite town, with a strong Buddhist atmosphere, where time is almost frozen, and you will feel unprecedented healing.
It's a small town, but it's full of stories, and you can rent a motorbike or walk around the city with your feet......

You can come across an ancient temple,
The devout faith here is not inferior to Tibet.
In Chiang Mai, 95% of the population believes in Buddhism, and there are more than 300 temples in the ancient city of Chiang Mai alone. Walking through the city, large and small temples will inadvertently bump into your eyes.
Wat Chedi Luang does not have a bustling appearance, but it is the most famous temple in Chiang Mai.
The mottled scars on the reddish-brown walls, the collapsed spire of the Great Buddha Pagoda tell you about the disasters that have happened here, and the wax statues of the monks in robes and their eyes are bright, guiding us on the way forward.
Wat Phra Singh is the largest Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai.
Take off your shoes and walk into the temple, slow down, and sit quietly on the carpet, the Thais around you, full of solemn faces, whispering prayers.
The temples in Chiang Mai are not as opulent as the Grand Palace in Bangkok, and the temples are usually planted with greenery, making you feel like you are in a garden as soon as you walk inside.
Before you know it, your footsteps will slow down, and listening to the murmur of the monks and the evening drum and morning bell will make your mind seem to be purified.

You can visit the colorful night market,
It's as lively as the Taiwanese night market!
Someone said, "If you don't visit Chiang Mai Night Market, you won't be in Chiang Mai." "Chiang Mai's night market is the perfect intersection of craft and snacks and is one of the must-do things to do for everyone who comes to Thailand.
If you're in Chiang Mai, you should definitely visit Asia's largest night market, the Weekend Night Market.
It is only open every Sunday from 5 p.m. to late at night, from street to street, fried pork rinds, northern Thai sausages, sushi, Thai fried noodles, grilled shrimp... Chiang Mai's signature snacks are mouth-watering in aroma.
If you come to Chiang Mai, you should definitely visit the Haystack Night Market.
It is both a night market and a concert venue. When night falls, you can sit in a seat made from discarded haystacks and wooden crates, listen to a band, and have fun.
When you are tired of shopping, you can also do an open-air foot massage at the night market, which is cheap and close to the people, so that you can "fight" with the night market again at any time until dawn.

You can live in Pai, far away from the hustle and bustle,
It's far more lazy here than Yunnan Tengchong!
Bai County, quiet and comfortable, but with the most simple northern Thai style.
Surrounded by mountains, it is inhabited by smiling residents with a laid-back pace of life, away from the hustle and bustle. You don't have to follow any strategy at all when you come here.
If you come here, you should definitely go to the Yellow Cottage Cafe.
Drink a cup of coffee and enjoy the picturesque countryside, sit on the swing under the towering trees, and feel like you are living in a fairy tale world for a few minutes.

You can "soak" in Nimman Road,
The literary and artistic freshness you want is here!
Ningman Road in the north of Chiang Mai is the smallest, most literary, and smallest area in Chiang Mai, and it gives you the feeling of being like Nanluoguxiang in Beijing and Tianzifang in Shanghai.
There are many small shops here, from restaurants, cafes, and dessert shops, to artisanal workshops, B&Bs, and bars, which almost encapsulate all the possibilities of travelers and life-related fields.
There are no tourist attractions here, but it is a must-try on your Chiang Mai bucket list. You can walk around the alleys and alleys, and there are lots of funny and cute graffiti on the walls.

You must not miss it
Thailand's most romantic show: Loy Krathong!
The Loy Krathong Festival in November is the biggest annual festival in Thailand, and it is also the absolute C position in the hearts of tourists.
Chiang Mai, known as the "Rose of the North City", was the most beautiful city during the period, and there was no one, so countless people traveled thousands of miles to go there.
At this time, thousands of Krathong float on the water, thousands of sky lanterns are lit and released, floats parade, beauty contests, temples pray...... It's really romantic to the extreme!
If you happen to be in Chiang Mai, you will see the streets and alleys full of festive atmosphere when you go out leisurely during the day.
Colorful lanterns hang on tree branches, banana tree segments, and colorful incense candles and flowers are inserted to pay homage to the Buddha, and when night falls, they will shine.
When it gets dark, the climax of Loy Krathong comes. In the moat near the Thape Gate, men, women and children held Krathongs and watched the candles drift away with their wishes.
In the background is the sky full of lights, gorgeous flower boats slowly flowing on the Meiping River, the whole world is turned into a Milky Way of lights, spectacular and shocking can not be described in words!
During the day, the solemn Pandao Temple is also full of incense candles and lanterns, and the monks sit in front of the Buddha in the bamboo forest to pray for relatives and friends.
Such a pious scene is probably hard to see anywhere else.
When you walk out on the street, you can see a colorful parade of floats, handsome men and women selected by thousands of people, dancing beautifully, which is dazzling.
The overly shocking scene, the touching piety, the Loy Krathong Festival in Chiang Mai, there is no place that is not exciting and memorable!
Chiang Mai is a city where you can calm down and live, although it does not have the bustle of Bangkok, but the quietness and liveliness go well together.
If you want to experience the laid-back daily life of Southeast Asia now, there's really no reason not to like her.
