Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai is Thailand's cultural hotspot filled with amazing architecture and natural wonders. Head to the living museum that is Chiang Mai Old City, and check out the ancient walls and temples that have withstood time.

The coffee lovers will be surprised to know that Chiang Mai is home to numerous coffee concepts that pop up throughout the city. For a more laid-back experience, immerse yourself in nature at the Doi Inthanon National Park and trek along Angkha Nature Walk to Wachiritharn Waterfall. For the true escape, spend a night at the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary and care for the gentle giants.

Pong Yang Adventure Park Experience
Very easy to use I am very lucky to see that it is on sale on klook first as it is in Chiang Mai and has plans to go play the next day. So I click to buy in advance that night before the day of use, just 1 night to the staff scan the qr code for a while and then get a coin to use for playing the machine Super convenient I will definitely repeat the service.

Doi Suthep Mountain Biking
The itinerary is exciting and challenging! Beginners have certain difficulties, but it is safe for the instructor to have a lot of experience. It is highly recommended!

Grandma's Home Cooking School
If you are interested in learning Thai cuisine, this is a trip worth participating in. From the traditional market to learn about the ingredients, and then to the classroom to learn about the various spices they grow, and finally, under the witty leadership of the teacher, learn the essence of cooking. Remember, don’t eat too much before you come, because you have to finish the cooking by yourself 😄

Highly recommended
Oasis Spa
The voucher is very easy to use. Call to make a reservation with the store 1 day before. When you arrive, show your mobile voucher for the staff to scan. Reserve a massage for 2 people. Get a private room. Good massage staff. Good service staff. P.S. Lanna branch has a parking lot too, very convenient.

Chiang Mai Elephant Retirement Park Day Tour with Elephant Care Program & Outdoor Activities
Because of the epidemic, there were only our group of guests that day. The elephant was really super cute. The owner also led 4 elephants to play together, but because he didn’t want to get mud all over, he had to splash a water basin next to him, hoping that the epidemic would end soon. , Otherwise the elephant will be sold
