Spring in Amsterdam - Revealing 14 Beautiful Places

Share by Tom Coggins

Vondelpark
Legions of locals flock to Vondelpark during spring to enjoy the park’s wonderful ambience, bask in the sunshine or catch an evening show at its open-air theatre. As the largest green space in central Amsterdam, there’s always plenty of great spots to relax inside Vondelpark.

Roest
While Amsterdam-Centrum certainly has its fair share of awesome hangouts, when it comes to terraces Roest totally surpasses all competition. This laid-back bar resides within an old industrial complex and features a huge, canal-side beer garden alongside an artificial beach and adult-sized jungle-gym. For obvious reasons, Roest is particularly popular during sunny spells.

Amsterdamse Bos
Nothing beats spending a sunny spring afternoon biking through Amsterdamse Bos’ winding cycle paths or exploring its impressive woodlands by foot. There are also several lakes inside the forest where visitors can swim, chill out or even hire small boats.

Natura Artis Magistra
Commonly known as Artis Zoo, Natura Artis Magistra is located just outside of Amsterdam’s city centre, inside an exceptionally green neighbourhood called Plantage. While it is possible to visit Artis’ colourful menagerie throughout the year, the zoo is open an hour longer during spring and summer. ..... keep reading .... http://bit.ly/2nw17ZP

The Best of Everything in Chiang Mai, Thailand

 

Share by alittleadrift

Chiang Mai, Thailand is one of the few cities in the world that I have found endlessly livable. I loved the year I spent living as an expat and enjoying the culture, food, and history. I spent a fair bit of my time glued to my computer — I work as a I travel and have for years continued freelance consulting. But with a year, I explored plenty of this pretty city and found many favorite spots I would return to time and again. Some of the spots mentioned here are in all the guidebooks — they’re there for a reason! But other spots are local haunts known to the expat community (and now you!)

This page shares all of my favorite places, photos, tips and recommendations. In many cases, after several emails from friends asking for tips, I decided to collect all these emailed insider tips into one spot. If you’re thinking of living in Chiang Mai for a few months, or a few years, I also have a wildly popular cost of living breakdown for Thailand, as well as other popular expat spots. I also have a Thailand Travel Guide, it has everything you should know before you visit. For this city guide, it’s far from comprehensive, but rather a “getting started” guide for visitors to town. Below you’ll find: a selection of my favorite vegetarian eats around town; the sights, temples and markets you shouldn’t miss; places to stay; and the more popular (and ethical) of the day-trips around Chiang Mai.

Festivals & Celebrations

The province of Chiang Mai is filled with beautiful celebrations throughout the year. Somewhere near Chiang Mai city, there is some sort of interesting festival taking place every month of the year. I made a habit of visiting everything on the calendar at least once, even the small ones in nearby towns. Some make fun day trips from the city, other festivals — like Songkran and Loy Krathong — take over the entire city of Chiang Mai. Check the calendar and see if you’re in town for any of these fun ones: ....... keep reading ......  http://snip.ly/t9cqd
