Would you choose Chiang Mai or Kyoto (travel)

Kyoto no doubt.

But the question is, can you afford it?

 

Haven't been to chiang Mai

But Kyoto might be my favorite city in the world, been there a few times

 

i wasn't so impressed with kyoto, the city or the sites. other than the fushimi inari gates, it was disappointing. restaurants seemed to be overrated as well. if you do go, i recommend staying at the hotel in the train station (hotel granvia) for convenience of getting around.

in chiang mai you can visit tiger kingdom

 

If you've never been to Japan, go to Kyoto. If you have, go to Thailand.

 

Depends on what you want to see, I guess.

Chiang Mai is tropical and Kyoto is more old world.

I find wikitravel a pretty resource.

Good luck.

 

I'd pick Kyoto, given that you'll be in both Tokyo and Bangkok. Reason being is that it's a lot easier/cheaper to get to Kyoto from Tokyo (bullet train) than flying from Bangkok to Chiang Mai.

 

If money isnt an issue then Kyoto. Thailand is beautiul as well and at half the cost.

 

I wouldn't go to Japan right now...Especially not Tokyo.

There are apparently radiation hotspots in Tokyo.

 

Bro are you serious right now?

You're so 2000 and late.

 

No real difference. Asian places are like the people that live there, they all look the same.

 

Japan is an incredible place.

 

So not true and steroetyoe written all over it.

The East Asian nations might have some similarities from the past, but other than that the difference in culture and technology can be seen.

Southeast asian nations and South Asia are two different parts of Asia as well.

Then, there's the Middle East.

The ignorance of this one is low.
