Things to see and do in Chiang Dao, Chiang Mai Province, Northern Thailand
Well, Mon and I are of course a little bit
biased and feel that you must check out our restaurant and great food and
drinks, while visiting Chiang Dao ;-) It's called Mon and Kurt's
restaurant and is located 2.5 km past the downtown Chiang Dao 7-11 on the road
to Fang, if you are coming from Chiang Mai. (about
75 km from Chiang Mai)

Of course Chiang Dao has a lot more to offer than restaurants...
