The Heart of Chiang Mai and the Magic of Doi Inthanon

Soul of the North, Heart of Chiang Mai and Magic of Doi Inthanon

Author of the material: Kirlyk Anton Anatolyevich

16 unique photos

Welcome to the personal photo album of Anton, a guide who is in love with northern Thailand so much that it is impossible not to get infected with this love. The 16 shots collected here are not just beautiful pictures. These are portals to the real Chiang Mai: mystical, soulful, majestic and at the same time very personal.

What will you see in this album?

In Anton’s photographs, ancient Chiang Mai comes to life with its countless temples drowning in greenery, the quiet streets of the old city and the flickering of evening lanterns. But the main gem of the collection is the magic of Doi Inthanon, Thailand’s highest peak. Anton captured these places in a special light: a misty morning over the mountains, the coolness of the waterfalls, flowering gardens in the “mountains in heaven” and the mysterious steps of the pagoda in honor of the queen and the king.

Anton is not just taking pictures, he is in the frame, smiling and inviting you with him. His open eyes and natural lightness speak better than any words: with him you will not feel like a tourist on the bus.

Why go to Chiang Mai with Anton?

Anton Kirlyk is not a fact-translator guide. He's a conductor to the atmosphere. He knows where to find that same cup of coffee overlooking the morning mist, when to tell the legend of the mountain, so that goosebumps run over the skin, and where to turn off the beaten path to feel the real “Soul of the North”.

With him you:

• You will see Chiang Mai, which remains behind the scenes of typical excursions.
• Climb the Doi Inthanon at sunrise at the most magical hour.
• Try the local cuisine in the places where it is prepared for yourself, not for tourists.
• Come home not with a checkmark, but with a series of vivid, warm memories.

The 16 photos on this album are just the beginning of your journey. Send an enquiry to Anton to turn Chiang Mai from a line on a map into a story you'll retell for years. Discover the North of Thailand with your heart, along with those who have learned to hear it.
