The people are very friendly and the place is relaxing. The nights are warm and there are partys on every street, in the day you can visit the most beautiful river in Central America "Rio Dulce" you can't miss the tour with Exotic Travel Agency who I travelled with and recomend to everyone.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14619 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13031
It is far less busy and polluted than Bangkok and much less commercial than Phuket and the islands.

There is tons to do. I have been trekking, done a cookery course, had loads of massages and spa treatments and the food is terrific. A wide variety of choice and at ridiculous prices.
Brilliant all round so my tip is go to Chiang Mai!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13031 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11160
There are a lot of stag groups but thankfully more and more 'civilised' people are also coming and discovering more than just bars and girls. A good all-round guide that I've found helpful in the past is www.riga-life.com. And the sites I'd recommend especially in Riga are Jurmala, Dome Cathedral and Academy of Science.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11160 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9569 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9569 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3358 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3358 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9573 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9573
