Cool finds in Chiang Mai
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 11/11/2016
» We're not just about the "new". We also dig the cool, the fun, the funky and all things slightly hidden from plain sight. So we did a little detour, stepping into one or two "just-opened" venues and we also honed in on some less-discovered (but totally awesome) places. We tried, we tested and we even got a bit lost trying to find some of these hidden gems. So without further ado, dear readers, here are our top Chiang Mai picks for this year's winter season.

History of the museum
Life, Published on 24/12/2013
» The Metropolitan Museum of Art's earliest roots date back to 1866 in Paris, France, when a group of Americans agreed to create a "national institution and gallery of art" to bring art and art education to the American people. The lawyer John Jay, who proposed the idea, swiftly moved forward with the project upon his return to the United States from France. Under Jay's presidency, the Union League Club in New York rallied civic leaders, businessmen, artists, art collectors, and philanthropists to the cause. On April 13, 1870, The Metropolitan Museum of Art was incorporated, opening to the public in the Dodworth Building at 681 Fifth Avenue. On November 20 of that same year, the Museum acquired its first object, a Roman sarcophagus. (Read more about this historic acquisition.) In 1871, 174 European paintings, including works by Anthony van Dyck, Nicolas Poussin, andGiovanni Battista Tiepolo, entered the collection.

Giving up meat was a lifelong commitment these people made to one of the most highly respected Buddhist monks in northern Thailand, the late Khruba Chaiyawongsa Phattana (aka Khruba Wong), when they relocated en masse to this spot in 1971. At the time Luang Pu (as he is usually referred to by people who knew him) was abbot of the local temple, Wat Phra Phutthabat Huai Tom, the largest and most famous in the whole district.
