Thetraveljunkie.org – Traveling with elegance is an art. Jakarta is waiting for us! Thai Airways has always been the perfect traveling companion, we have been lucky enough to travel with the brand and see amazing places and have experienced great things. Today we wanted to share some photos and videos which we made in the sky between Chiang Mai, Bangkok, and Jakarta. Do you want to know more?
Thetraveljunkie.org – The freedom that you feel when days are slightly longer, you have less responsibilities and you have more time for yourself and to enjoy the magic word: holiday. When in Chiang Mai, We went all the way up to the wondrous and holy temple of Wat Phra That which is on top of Doi Suthep Hill, at 3,520 feet above sea level, finds the revered golden Phra That (chedi) of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep rises against the sunlight. The temple was built in 1383 to enshrine Buddha’s relics.
Thetraveljunkie.org – One of the things that we love most about traveling is organising foodie routes in all the different cities that we go to. When in Chiang Mai, We felt drawn towards Chiang Mai Celadon. The place is gorgeous and the Khao Soi is to die for. It’s basically yellow egg noodle, with rich coconut curry soup, some meat (beef or chicken), and crispy noodle on top. Very rich that you always end up craving for more. The photos show the delicious Khao Soi that we tucked into.
Thetraveljunkie.org – Sometimes, when we reminisce about our trip to Thailand we struggle to decide what our favourite city is. Bangkok is breathtaking, futurist and totally amazing but Chiang Mai has something which we absolutely adored: magic. We loved getting lost around Chiang Mai, especially around the Chiang Mai Celadon. It was great to walk around aimlessly and take in its Thai wooden houses, lemongrass tea houses, makes, tourists dressed in regional dress, ceramics factory and cultural gallery as a backdrop.
Thetraveljunkie.org – I love cooking and it definitely relaxes me. When in Chiang Mai, I attended a “Thai dessert cooking class” courtesy by Chiang Mai Celadon. We arrived at an amazing Thai traditional house. I liked what I saw. I took a seat, and the first thing our chef said to the class was, “This is a hand’s on class! And you’re going to be cooking a Thai dessert”. Kao Tom Mud (Banana sticky rice) is a Thai dessert made with sticky rice, coconut and a variety of additions to taste, bananas, all wrapped up in banana leaves.
Thetraveljunkie.org – It’s 7am. Your alarm goes off. You open tour eyes, you get up and look out of the window. The light and the sun reflecting off Chiang Mai’s skyscrappers wish you a good morning. It’s the first time we’ve woken up at The DusitD2 Chiang Mai in Thailand, bang just off the famous Chang Klan Road in the heart of Chiang Mai’s city centre.
Thetraveljunkie.org – Super-simple way to enjoy fork-tender khao ka moo (pork trotters rice) in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Cowgirl opens her stall from 5pm – 2am daily and each plate of pork trotters rice costs only 30 Baht. Located with other street hawkers just across the street of Chang Phueak, Chiang Mai’s North gate.
Thetraveljunkie.org – The morning after we went for breakfast at Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn, Bangkok. We drove to the Suvarnabhumi Airport. And after a hour flight, we landed in Chiang Mai. We were dying for this trip, it’s the first time in a long time that we truly are on vacation. Today we show you smooth as silk to Chiang Mai with THAI pics. Everything seems so taken-from-a-movie ‘Emanuelle in Bangkok’ that it’s hard to believe.
Thetraveljunkie.org – One of the things that we like most about traveling is being able to meet new place. We were lucky enough to meet up with the National Museum Bangkok, founded in 1887 by the King Rama V, who ordered the move of ancient artifacts and antiques stored in The Grand Palace to the former palace of late prince viceroys. More buildings were later constructed when there were more precious items to exhibit, such as the main building which was built in 1967 and the Buddhaisawan Chapel which was built in 1787 to enshrine Phra Buddha Si Hing, a sacred Buddha image.
Thetraveljunkie.org – We had a fantastic time, doing a lot of fun stuff at Thai Airways International Public Company Limited’s Headquarter in Bangkok: going on a tour to see different spots around the head office, going for lunch with stunning Thai foods. After a day full of laughter, aviation, flying and lovely people its normal to feel a little hangover emotionally. Many thanks to Thai Airways for taking us along on this amazing experience, see you next time!
Thetraveljunkie.org – When in Bangkok, we went to Thai Airways International Public Company Limited’s Headquarter for the first time and it was an incredible experience.

Thetraveljunkie.org – The best thing about Bangkok is that there’s plenty of new things to see and do. With Thai Airways we came across Siam Niramit Bangkok for a special Thai dinner. If you do go, don’t forget to go to the bathroom to wash your hands before eating!
