Chiang Khan : Thailand




Chiang Khan, the Perfect Combination of Now and Then.]

Let's imagine the picture of a pleasant road with only a few cars pass by. People have smiles on their faces. Tiny little houses and lovely coffee shops are along the road. This imagination is real in Chiang Khan, Thailand

Despite being an old city, Chiang Khan has become popular among the youngsters during the past few years. There are buses that come directly to Chiang Khan from Bangkok. Besides, there are several budget guesthouses around the city. Also, foods are inexpensive.

Chiang Khan is the perfect combination between urban and countryside life. Many new generation people come along to seek the nostalgia sense that can not be found in the big city.

Wooden buildings and shops that are in vintage style can simply take us back to the good old days. Old school bicycles, tricycles and motorbikes can be found here as well. More and more visitors come to visit this charming city of Chiang Khan. However, this fact worries me so much that I ask myself if things will remain the same in the next few years. By that though, I'd rather keep this the picture of Chiang Khan in my heart for always.
