Chiang Mai: Thapae Gate almost bursts into flames in Chiang Mai Province. Chinese tourists are very excited, lining up to take pictures with pigeons at Thapae Gate, as long as a kite's tail. According to Thai News Agency, at the Thapae Gate area, a landmark in the center of Chiang Mai, there are many tourists, especially Chinese tourists, who are queuing up in a long line for freelance photographers to take beautiful pictures with flocks of pigeons. This requires techniques and methods to take beautiful pictures. If you take them yourself, you will not get beautiful pictures or the pictures that tourists want must have a flock of pigeons flying in the frame. As a result, freelance photographers have come up to take clips or pictures for Chinese tourists by scattering food for the birds to eat on the ground. Then, they will use the equipment they have available to make a loud noise until the flock of pigeons fly up and take clips for tourists to be in the frame with the flock of pigeons in exchange for money for the trip. Some people give 20 baht, some give 100 baht, until it has become a landmark that Chinese tourists who come to Chiang Mai must come to take pictures at Thapae Gate. It is expected that more tourists are escaping the smog or PM 2.5 dust from Bangkok to celebrate the Chinese New Year in Chiang Mai. At the same time, there will be another group of tourists who like to buy elephant-patterned shirts and pants to wear, which are inexpensive. Some people buy them to wear as a group or as a family of parents and children, making it another popular product. Meanwhile, both sides of Ratchadamnoen Road and Thapae Road in Chiang Mai city will be filled with foreign tourists who come to walk around the city, choose products, or go sit in restaurants.
