Thailand was featured when the Sunday Someday series started, but I haven’t been able to cross it off my bucket list.

Annette from Bucket List Journey graciously shared these photos from her bucket list of things to do in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

November to February are the best months to visit Chiang Mai to avoid the heat and rain.

How to get to Thailand using miles and points

You can fly to Chiang Mai, Thailand using airline miles and points.

The cheapest 1-way coach ticket costs 30,000 Alaska Airlines miles.

50,000 Alaska Airlines miles gets you a 1-way Business Class ticket.

If you don’t have Alaska Airlines miles, you can use 35, 000 American Airlines miles to fly 1-way coach to Thailand or 55,000 American Airlines miles to Business Class 1-way.

You can use 67,500 American Airlines miles to fly 1-way in First Class.

I loved the idea of taking a cooking class. In what countries would you consider taking a cooking class?
