When it comes to celebrities associated with Chiang Mai, people often think of Teresa Teng. Some say that she elevated the charm of Chiang Mai. However, if it weren't for Chiang Mai's attractiveness that first drew Teresa Teng, how could it have led to the endless stories about this small city and even made stars like Leslie Cheung, Wang Han, Yang Lele, Shen Teng, Gao Yuanyuan and others love it so much?
Teresa Teng's song "Story of Small Towns" melted the hearts of many with dreams of Chiang Mai.
Chiang Mai is well known as one of the locations in the movie "Lost in Thailand". This is where Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, and Huang Bo laugh and curse at each other. The train from Bangkok races through the colorful forests of northern Thailand, and the brilliant sunlight and mottled tree shadows interweave a simple exotic atmosphere. Chiang Mai's leisurely and comfortable lifestyle is shown in a unique and affectionate manner amidst the interference of three outsiders.
Apart from creating box office miracles, "Lost in Thailand" also ignited the tourism fever in Chiang Mai.
In the recent hit reality show "We Are in Love", the "Koala Couple" Wu Xin and Will Pan chose Chiang Mai as the location for their first date trip, continuing to provide viewers with intense laughter and sweet moments. Observing the large number of elephant figurines in Wu Xin's home, Will Pan took her to the Elephant PooPoo Paper Park as the first stop in their Chiang Mai trip, where they not only had close contact with elephants but also experienced the whole process of making paper out of elephant dung together, sharing sweet moments.
In addition to songs, movies and variety shows, many celebrities are also die-hard fans of Chiang Mai and vacation here. Let's follow in the footsteps of these stars and experience the city of a thousand faces.
Experience Chiang Mai's slow life like Leslie Cheung
The Four Seasons Hotel loved by elder brother
There is no need to say much about Teresa Teng's affection for Chiang Mai. But there is one person who must be remembered in Chiang Mai, and that is Leslie Cheung. You may not know that he owned property No. 1 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Chiang Mai and would stay there every year. His biography also mentions happy days spent here.
"I enjoy my own life, reading quietly, listening to records, watching movies, thinking." - Leslie Cheung
The fragrance of rice in the air at the Four Seasons Hotel in Chiang Mai makes you forget all your troubles as soon as you arrive here.
The Four Seasons Hotel completely matches elder brother's quiet personality. It is situated in the tranquil tropical scenery of Chiang Mai with rice fields filled with rice seedlings beside it. A few water buffalo on the field, a few ponds, and the brilliant starry sky at night, with the sound of frogs croaking one after another. Being here, you feel like you're not in one of the "Top Ten Unique Luxury Hotels in the World", but rather in the poetic countryside life depicted by Tao Yuanming's pen.
Imagine a beautiful day starting like this: comfortably enjoying breakfast amidst the fragrance of rice, with a gentle breeze blowing, and the private butler from the Four Seasons offering you a refreshing drink. The sunshine, the scenery, the wine, every detail is enchanting.
Nowadays, we can also choose to take a break at the Four Seasons Hotel, returning to the embrace of nature, and enjoying a moment of tranquility for our body and mind like elder brother did.
Chiang Mai leisure classic "slow life" experience
In Chiang Mai, many people, like elder brother, have found a sense of belonging and come here to enjoy the slow life. There are no crowded crowds, only the slowly flowing peaceful times. In the streets and alleys, spending an hour or an afternoon enjoying a spa, just like elder brother did, is possible. When the special fragrance of essential oils and spices permeates the air, it immediately relaxes your body and mind, pleasing all your senses.
If you want to experience Chiang Mai's slow life like elder brother did, you should also go to listen to sutras in front of Buddha and seek inner peace. In Chiang Mai, temples and Buddhist halls can be seen everywhere, with a clean and kind-hearted atmosphere pervading the streets and alleys. Many places exude a unique sense of seclusion. The White Temple in Chiang Mai is such an existence. The pure white color of the temple stands out alone, shining like silver in the sunshine. The Black Temple is a museum, decorated with various ancient devil images in a black building complex that complements the White Temple.
Experience a Chiang Mai Honeymoon like Shen Teng
Celebrities such as Shen Teng and Chen Yirong have chosen Chiang Mai for their weddings.
Shen Teng, known for his work in the Happy Camp comedy group and movies such as "Goodbye, Mr. Loser" and "The Island," ended his 12-year courtship with girlfriend Wang Qi in a low-key wedding ceremony in Chiang Mai, Thailand last year. They chose Chiang Mai because the city's temperament was similar to their own love story - calm, steady and enduring. In this quiet town, they had their own wedding, and that was enough!
In recent years, not only celebrities but also more and more ordinary tourists have chosen to get married or go on honeymoon in Chiang Mai. Being with loved ones in Chiang Mai, holding hands, and enjoying afternoon tea together is perhaps the perfect picture of a beautiful love story.
