One day we went for a day tour outside of Chiang Mai, with a private Song taew! We left around 8 am, and came back to Chiang Mai around 4 pm, and in total the chauffeuring cost us 400 Baht each! Thats only 12 dollars Canadian for the entire day, making 4 tourist stops, incredible value. We visited Bo Sang, a Hot Spring/Botannical Garden/Mineral Pool, a local Silver and Stone Plant, a Thai-silk Museum and Factory..plus we stopped to have lunch!
It was a very busy day, but we learned so much 8 hours, we returned to the city with absolutely no energy left. I will be sure to post pictures of all the stops, but first things first, Bo Sang!
We went headed North to visit to infamous Bo Sang Umbrella Village, known for their umbrella festival and umbrella paintings, among other handicrafts, a key highlight of the Chiang Mai province! I previously bought a large canvas bag in Chiang Mai, so at the village I had one of the guys, Pasin, hand-paint these two love birds on it,<3--painted and dried, all in about one minute! It's really amazing what art some of these ladies and gents do. Check out this wall-size fan below! Sawai (beautiful)
