6 nights in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai

Hi Guys!

Two of us (Girls) will be visiting CM and CR for 6 nights Nov 29 till Dec 5. We plan to stay the 1st night in CM. Then on to CR for 3 nights before returning to CM for another 2 nights.

Chiang Mai Itinerary

The famous Sunday Night Market

Additional shopping

Elephant Sanctuary for elephant ride and bamboo rafting - Should I leave this tour for Chiang Rai? I read that the camps are between CM and CR. Are they closer to CM or CR?

I don%26#39;t want to go to Doi Suthep since I have been before.

Read that the San Kamphaeng hot spring and Bo Sang umbrella making center are nothing much (?)

How about out of town places like Lampang, Lampoon or Mae Hong Son?

Chiang Rai Itinerary

Doi Tung (Mae Fah Luang Garden %26amp; Royal Villa)

The White Temple

Is it worth it to go on a the Golden Triangle Tour? Wouldn%26#39;t that be very close to Doi Tung? Also, if that tour takes you across the border to Myanmar (read that the tour takes youa across for mini shopping at the border) are you required to have a visa for Myanmar? (We are Malaysians and I think M%26#39;sians are required to get a visa to enter Myanmar).

We will have slightly more time in CR than CM since we get 3 full days in CR. We will catch the VIP Bus to CR and back. Read that you can do the booking via phone? I speak Thai so no problem in communicating. But I can%26#39;t read and their website is in Thai. Would anyone know their tel no, please?

At both places we will be staying at the Le Meridien Hotels. Any recommendations for any good eating places around there?

You%26#39;ll probably get more responses if you post this on the Chiang Rai forum and the Chiang Mai forum. You have posted on the Chiang Mai Province forum, rather than the Chiang Mai forum. The forum you posted on had very little activity.
