Mountain or Sea?

There are many attractions in Thailand I have ever been, but there are nowhere that I admire more than Chiangmai and Krabi, my two most favorite places. I had thought that which place that I like most, but I never got an answer because both are places that make me happy, enjoyed and relaxed in the same time. However, Chiangmai and Krabi have identities in themselves which give me difference experiences.

For me, Chiangmai and Krabi are similar in some ways. They are the popular attractions among Thai and foreign people. Many tourists about 5 million and 1.3 million people come to Chiangmai and Krabi every year. There are many beautiful natures to see and they have a lot of activities to enjoy here. Even though, these places are crowded with people, I do not feel hurried. In contrast, I feel like every thing around me turns slowly. I relaxed and soak up the natural beauty that surrounded us. I can take a deep breath that do not in Bangkok, because of its pollutions.

Although both places have some things in common, they are very difference. The most difference thing that I think of first is about their geography, they are completely opposite. Chiangmai is located in northern Thailand. Most areas are located on high mountains, so most popular attractions of Chiangmai are on beautiful mountains, too. Such as, Doi Inthanon National Park, the highest mountain in Thailand. I think it is really high and make me feel like I can touch the sky. Besides, Chiangmai has cold weather all year round. In the morning of winter, the weather is around 2-3°C so I can see frost on grasses and fog that covered over areas clearly. In contrast, Krabi located in southern Thailand, at the shore of the Andaman Sea, and most areas are in the sea as islands. Most famous attractions of Krabi are long and white beaches, crystal clear seas and coral reefs. On sunny day, I suggest you to try scuba diving at Phi Phi Islands and Koh Lanta, I certify that they are beautiful than you can imagine. Moreover, they have unique cultures. For example, each has its own dialect. In Chiangmai, people often speak Northern Thai language that is called Kham Mueang. And Krabi people speak Southern Thai or Dambro. Second, food taste at Krabi is more spiciness. Food at Chiangmai is not spicy and sweet. Unlike Krabi that food is spicier.

For me, Chiangmai and Krabi are the places that are unforgettable. Both places give me many new and different experiences that I have never met before, because of their different geography and unique cultures. And because of these differences charming, both are places that I really love.
