🌿✨ Tomorrow, Saturday, the Citylife Garden Fair returns to Chiang Mai! ✨🌿

The Citylife Garden Fair 2025, one of the most popular events for locals and expats alike, celebrates its 20th edition this year: on Saturday, November 22, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., in the private gardens of Boonthavorn Chiang Mai (here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/kVg6T6pr3KLkfXFb8). A day full of colors, encounters, and discoveries.

On the program:
🎨 Art & crafts by local creators
🛍️ Regional products and unique stands
🍲 Delicious specialties and drinks for all tastes
🎶 Live music and a friendly atmosphere under the trees

This event is much more than a fair: it's a real "Big Day Out" in Chiang Mai, a time when the community comes together to celebrate the creativity, gastronomy, and gentle way of life unique to northern Thailand.

Whether you live here or are just passing through, it's the perfect opportunity to kick off the festive season in a warm and family-friendly atmosphere.

🌞 Come and stroll, taste, meet people, relax... and enjoy yourself to the fullest! The perfect place to meet up after climbing Doi Suthep with CMU students (previous post) 😀

🪷 Ascent of Doi Suthep by students from Chiang Mai University 🚶

This spectacular ascent, spectacular for the cultural richness it offers, will take place tomorrow, Saturday, November 22, 2025 😀 At 3:30 a.m. that night, the first groups of students will set off from the foot of the mountain, more precisely from the university campus. Leading the procession will be a palanquin protecting a crystal elephant. But if you arrive by 9 a.m. (at the latest), you will have the opportunity to see this extraordinary event.

The ritual walk to the sacred temple of Mount Suthep (เดินขึ้นดอย) is the most famous tradition at Chiang Mai University (CMU). All new students (น้องใหม่, nong mai) walk to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. The objectives of this day are as follows:
• to pay homage to the traditions of Chiang Mai;
• mark their entry into the CMU community;
• develop unity among students;
• participate in a meritorious act (ทำบุญ).

It is a deeply symbolic rite of passage, equivalent to a local initiation ceremony. It is an opportunity to see traditional Lanna dances and clothing. We believe this is one of the cultural events not to be missed in the Rose of the North!
