Almost Legendary
But the pick of the places I liked was the old city of Chiang mai, which in it's own right is a very large, yet low key city, non of the razzle dazzle that Bankok has...much more laid back.. but I didn't want to stay in another city so we opted ( after fighting with the missus for a week) to stay 45 minutes drive out of town up in the rural mountains. The hotel had free shuttle back and forth from the city which was great. The place was even better than it looks, and was great for herping, I found over 10 species of frogs, 2 species of snakes and 7 species of lizard within the hotel grounds, as well as many amazing inverts inc a taranchula.. though as you can see it is rather smokey, as in the dry season they burn off the hillside and they actually burnt the hills behind us the night before..
