“There was a sacred stillness in the airāas if every step through this city asked you to slow down, breathe deeper, and be more present. The temples shimmered in gold. The jungle whispered secrets. And for a moment, time bowed its head. Chiang Mai didnāt just teach us about Thailandāit reminded us of the beauty in balance. Of tradition and growth, silence and color, elephants and espresso. We left changed, carrying its stillness wherever we go. šøš”
