This is the delicious nature food of tradition karen tribes .
On the left is the prawn and on the right is the crab and fishes .
It is more and more difficult to catch them .
Chiangmai’s night life is not as exotic as Bangkok but it has it’s own charm . It also does not as focus as Hatyai as the most activities are focus on man only .It may take quite a big topic to write all of them .
Buarawwong hotel is at intersection of Changklan and Rakaeng road or opposite of Lanna Palace hotel.
It is at Bath 590 (US$18) with Breakfast .The room is biger than the previous hotel I has introduced . Walkalong changklan road ,you can a varieties of food,from Muslim ,korean ,German ,Chinese to Seafood restaurant.The seafood restaurant is very near night Bazza or just beside Shangarila Hotel(Going to complete at the end of this year)
If you want to go tradition Thai Massage ,you just need to walk in the direction of night plaza ,the shop just opposite Empress hotel .
It costs Bath 100 per hour .You will pay bath 200 at Night Plaza is normal .
For those regular of Chiangmai or local residents ,they known the seafood restaurant Qunhehe at Anusan market at night bazza at the entrance .It was closed about one year ago because of the increase of rental .This restaurant was famous for its quality and competitive price of seafood .After its closer ,I tried once at Anisan and never back again because of its seafood price at anusan .
When I walk along Changklan road from night bazza to Empress hotel ,I found the restaurant was reopened
I enjoyed the curry crab ,raw oyster ,fried kangkong and spicy mix seafood with my friends and it only cost us about Bath 750 (US$20) .
I also got a 10 % discount card for food

There are a few things to remember when trekking in the hills of Northern Thailand and visiting hilltribe villages. To make your visit more enjoyable and for the benefit of the people visiting after you, here are a few things to remember.
1. Hilltribe people are mostly rather modest, so please don’t wear revealing clothes. Shorts are fine, but not too short.
2. Showing affection for a person in public is not part of hilltribe culture so please behave modestly.
3. Please ask for permission before you take someone’s photo.
4. If you come across any items that might be of cultural or religious significance please don’t touch. I
5. Don’t walk over or too near to any food placed on the floor. The same goes for people, you shouldn’t step over anyone laying on the ground or even over their legs.
