Welcome to week 216 (02/26/2015) of Travel Photo Thursday. Maybe I shouldn’t be doing a drug blast on my blog, but it’s true, if you go to the mountain town of Doi Pui, about a 45 minute drive from downtown Chiang Mai, you will find opium growing. It’s all in the name of tourism.

Chiang Mai: Sticky Rice Tea for Travel Photo Thursday

Posted by Nancie on Feb 12, 2015 in Chiang Mai, Destinations, Thailand, Travel Photo Thursday | 37 comments

Welcome to week 214 (02/12/2015) of Travel Photo Thursday. I’ve been coming to Chiang Mai for a long time, and I consider it my second home. The city is definitely my go-to place when I’m not teaching in Korea, or playing tourist in another country. I always love to find new things in the city, and that’s what I did this week with my discovery of sticky rice tea (who would have thought!) .

I was in the mood for a new restaurant this week, and Google led me to this tiny gem. I found Farm Story in a Thai teak house on a narrow lane in the old city. They boast a menu of organic food and drink.

The quirky little sign at the entrance left no doubt that I was in the right place.
