Chiang Mai Notes
28
There is only one kosher place to eat (Chabad) & its meat
29
Chabad also has a bookshelf with a few snack items for sale, but I'd recommend bringing some as well
30
Don't book activities in advance!! Book at 669 Israel Tours next to Chabad. All activities can be booked a day in advance
31
People usually take trips to Chiang Rai & Pai from Chiang Mai (contact for a driver is in the itinerary)
32
My husband got sick so we had to split up our activities, but we could have done it in probably 4 days rather than a week
33
Uber equivalent: Bolt (Grab is more $$$)

15:30Rena toured Chiang Mai temples I followed this map: https://www.bigboytravel.com/asia/thailand/chiangmai/freewalkingtour/

^Started at 5 (there are so many temples there so I went straight to 16 after, which is in the middle of the market)
70
17:00Sunday Night Walking MarketOpen 4pm-midnight, but most people are still setting up until like 5:15pm
71
Absolutely obsessed with this market!! I spent 2.5 hours walking. It's more authentic/unique craftsmanship, rather than the same mass-produced stuff from the Night Market (although they have that too)
