chiang mai travel
 
Chiang Mai travelers can choose way many ways to get around the city.
Tuk-Tuk-Chiang mai travel
Tuk-Tuk or Samlor
   Despite its noisy sound, Tuk Tuk is the quickest and most convenient way to travel around Chiang Mai. The fare is more expensive than songthaew since it goes directly to the target place, sort of private. The riding on Tuk Tuk costs approximately 30-40 baht for a short hop and 50-100B for longer distances. Expect to pay 40 baht from the old city to the riverside and Night Bazaar, 40-50 to railway station and 80-100 to the bus station or airport. Remember that the extra cost is charged by tuk tuk parking near the bus and train stations. They will offer the price up to 120-150 baht, so the best way is to try to walk away to the nearest road and stop passing-by tuk-tuk or songthaew there.
There are also a few three-wheeled bicycles (commonly known as Samlor in Thai). The cycler will take you to a temple and sight-seeing around Chiang Mai city. Samlor is considered quieter and slower to move on, but it is good for a chill out trip.


Songthaew or Seelor-Chiang Mai travel
Songthaew or Seelor
      A Songthaew is sort of both bus and taxi. It is the most common transportation for traveling around Chiang Mai used by local people due to its cheap price. Songthaew, a covered pick-up trucks, is built in with two long bench seats in the back where travelers can comfortably sit and look around Chiang Mai city. The routes for Songthaew to go around Chiang Mai aren’t fixed. Travelers can ask where to go or just point the target destination on the map, the drivers will take you wherever around Chiang Mai. Usually, Songthaew will take the passengers whom are go the same way in order to save time. Songthaew are of various colors. Each color signifies its general route or usage. The most common color for Songthaew is red which can be seen all around the center of Chiang Mai city and doesn’t run along the specific route. It is roaming the main street around the markets, temples and bus or train stations. Red color Songthaew is the most suitable if traveler would prefer to go somewhere specific. Travelers might expect the price of 20 baht anywhere within the city and approximately 40-60 outside. However the price is negotiable if the driver charge to much. Sometimes the divers may forced to go around in circle along the route to get to a nearby destination due to irrational road design. This will cause no difference to the fare.
     

The fixed route Songthaew, which is usually in colors, are roaming around Warorot Market. Start from Warorotmarket, songthaews travel to the eastern suburban city of Sankampaeng, yellow songthaews travel to Mae Rim in the north, blue songthaews travel to Sarapee and Lamphun in the south, and green songthaews travel to Mae Jo in the north-east. From Pratu Chiang Mai market, songthaews also travel to Hang Dong and San Patong, south-west of Chiang Mai. The fare rate is 20 baht.
    In order to get songthaew, travelers can easily just call out the driver by waving hand, or they can take the one that still park on the street. Then the travelers need to state their destination, and if the driver is going to that particular direction, he will nod in agreement. Travelers are better ask for the price and negotiate before step in.  The price is in per person. When reaching the destination, ring the buzzer on the roof to tell the driver to stop, or most likely the driver will pull over, wait for you to get out and pay.

Also, when sporting your very own Oakley sunglasses you will be reminded of Scott Summers, or Cyclops in the movie X-Men, who wore Oakley shades (his goggles as Cyclops were , but his everyday sunglasses are available from Oakley, it is called the Juliet sunglasses with ruby lenses), and even though you do not have cool mutant powers at least you can look like you do.It is because of Oakley’s reputation and popularity that there are now a lot of copycats out there who are trying to imitate Oakley sunglasses, complete with fake Oakley logos. You have to be wary of those counterfeiters, because they can rob you off your money for substandard sunglasses, and since some of them really try to duplicate the design of genuine Oakley sunglasses,
