Mae Ping River
The famous river running through Chiang Mai city is the Mae Ping River. For visitors coming by train when going into the city center you will cross Nawarat Bridge and see Mae Ping River.
Near Nawarat Bridge, the Mae Ping River banks are beautifully landscaped. There are many popular restaurants on the riverside but they are nicely located on land and not expanding into the river like other places. Weexperienced the restaurants such as : the Riverside, the Good View, he Gallery which is opposite to the Oriental Style, and there are many more. |
