Personally, Machang wasn't a place for you to go on a vacation. The city is too boring. No fun place to be visited. No choices of luxury and comfortable hotels/homestay. For the food, I can say meh... Some stalls or restaurants got cheaper prices but some quite pricey. The local food can be considered good. I really hope that Machang can have attractions like Water World, Zoo, Shopping Mall, and so on so that it can be one of attractive places to be visited by local and foreign tourists.
