DELUXE | PRIVATE-GUIDED: The past and present merge in this city rich in traditional heritage and culture. From temples to festivals and from handicrafts to local cuisines, Chiang Mai can’t fail to charm.
Chiang Mai is the principal city in the north surrounded by the highest mountains in the country and here the atmosphere is much more serene than Bangkok. It has a wall surrounding the old part of the city and also has over 300 temples. Chiang Mai, "The Rose of the North", is famous for its history, culture, ancient temples, lush hills, shopping and fascinating tribal people.
During your stay, visit the Wat Phra Singh, built in Northern Thai classical style with its exquisite wood carvings, the Wat Chedi Luang with its Lama style chedi (a conical shaped stupa) and the Wat Suan Dok built in the 14th Century and one of the most famous for Monk studies. After this, head to the Varoros Market, the expansive market where you can buy almost anything. The afternoon is free to explore further, shop etc.
During your time in Chiang Mai, you'll travel outside the city to Doi Suthep, a temple built on top of a mountain with amazing views of the surrounding countryside and even Chiang Mai in the distance. After this, visit a hill tribe village and meet the Meo tribe close up with their colourful ethnic outfits and special way of life.
