There is a great place in the southwest of Chiang Mai. Royal Park Rajapruek, where you can go for a walk with a child (or without it), take a lot of beautiful photos, relax your soul and in general to be distracted. I would not refuse to have such a park near the house to and beautiful, and functional, and not only trees. And then there are parks almost everywhere, but it’s pretty boring there, of course, if you need to something else besides the usual walks. So if you live in Chiang Mai, not far from Royal Park, there will be no problems with walking. Although, of course, with frequent visits get tired of paying an entrance fee.

Park Royal Rajapruek
On Wikipedia, the name is slightly different – Royal Flora Ratchaphruek, and I know exactly this (I have already forgotten from where). On the official site Park and on Google Maps is exactly the name that I have in the title. It seems to me that they once slightly changed it, although the meaning is not changed – Royal Park Ratchapryk (or whatever it’s right there pronounce). But this is so guesswork. Anyways, it’s all the same. location
Where to start – the Park is huge, and there are so many objects that watch not revise. I was there about 5 o’clock, and everything went, walked and walked only half. Yes, of course, run fast enough for a couple of hours, but if you want to go through all the tracks and go to all the pavilions, you need a whole day, and even more. To reduce the time of movement between points, you can use a bus that runs about once every 10 minutes.
In the royal park many different areas. First of all i looked (I drove there just by bus) at a big and beautiful temple surrounded by water. More precisely, it is not quite a temple, but a museum with a collection of coins, but built in the style of Thai temples. Building and In general, the landscape around is beautiful not only during the day, but also at night, when lights come on. By the way, if you haven’t been to Royal Park Rajapruek in the dark, I recommend to go.

Monks are frequent visitors to similar places.
The temple looks very romantic at night.
Then I walked through the area of the park, where different country. Each country has its own small piece of land on which the building was built in a traditional style, and the territory is ennobled in according to the culture of the country. Honestly, I spent a bunch time to find Russia, which is present on the map, but in fact, it turned out that there is none.
Sorry, it would be very interesting to look. Apparently there was no one create this piece. Instead of Russia and several other countries are commercial pavilions, for example, from Thai Airways.

Well, after that I just walked without a specific goal for different pavilions and zones. There is, and a great playground with bridges, crossings, and a flower pavilion with orchids, and tropical Pavilion with dried beetles, and just beautiful lawns with paths. I did not have time to go through everything, as I said.
Now another time, especially since there is a desire once again there turn up. Still, such a park—
