Sukhothai, Thailand: An Accidental Guide To The Dawn Of Happiness
"Happiness is an accident of nature, a beautiful and flawless aberration." — Pat Conroy The pursuit of happiness is a much-often debated topic and an endless obsession, especially in today’s modern society, where we seem to have it all, or at least have been led to believe that we can achieve or possess whatever we seek. I was not seeking happiness or the recipe for this elusive-but-much-coveted emotion. Yet, life has its way of delivering small packages of surprises. This is going to sound cliché, but a trip to Sukhothai in Thailand, known also as the Dawn of Happiness, has given me valuable lessons on the greatest joys in life.

Things To Do At Night
8 Places For Exotic Night Shopping And Eating In Chiang Rai
Founded in 1262, Chiang Rai is located in northern Thailand, and is often referred to as Chiang Mai's little sister. To be exact, the city is 860 kilometres (530 miles) north of Bangkok, about 200 kilometres (120 miles) northeast of Chiang Mai and 62 kilometres (39 miles) south of Mae Sai and the Burmese border. Compared to Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai is a sleepy, slow-paced town. Chiang Rai has a strong Lanna identity, and it is one of the oldest settlements in Thailand. This culture is beautifully portrayed in its temples, art, language, music and cuisine which are strongly tied to the Tai ethnic culture – the origins of the Lanna people. Unlike the better-known sister city Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai has its charm, especially at night. Save your night for shopping and food hunting! You can easily indulge yourself in an exotic spree of shopping and eating - mind you, this is something for the adventurous. Go to Kaa Luang Market (Central Market) and the Walking Street to hunt for the exotic: bugs, salt-encrusted fish, Thai style tempura vegetables, hot pot and kabobs. Then go shop for something unique at MZ Collection and Nine Shop. Remember to catch a glimpse of the transformation of the golden Clock Tower at certain hours of night and watch it change from pink into green. Last stop is to get some rest at a restaurant that offers unique night views and some folk songs. Read on to find out about the best places for things to do at night in Chiang Rai.
