What to do and see in Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai Province: The Best Sightseeing Tours
You could spend your whole Chiang Mai vacation exploring the famous Night Bazaar. Once you’ve exhausted the art of the cheerful haggle, however, there’s plenty more to explore. The National Museum and Botanic Garden are great places to soak up some local culture and to breathe in the delicate fragrance of Thai orchids. In the city’s center, the remains of ancient walls embrace over 30 temples. Limber travelers can climb 300 stairs to Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, an ornate Buddhist temple in the hills.

We had an amazing day with the Sunset Splash and BBQ tour at the Mae Kuang Dam. The trailhead team was well prepared and organized a memorable day for us. We started wiith a brief introduction to the basic of kayaking, before we started our kayak trip. This tour is suitable for everyone, even when you have never tried kayaking before. We even watched some wild buffaloes chilling in the dam while kayaking and finished our kayak tour with an amazing sunset view. Back on land, food and drinks were nicely prepared with some fresh coconuts, bbq sticks, salad, som tum and more. It was an awesome experience that I would highly recommend going when visiting Chiang Mai.

It is free for Thai people. Why should foreigners pay 200 baht to enter a shopping mall. It is not a real floating market but made up for tourists.

We booked James for an afternoon to shoot photos of our family (daughter, mum, dad, and grandma) during our stay at the very scenic Four Seasons resort Chiang Mai. The experience was great from start to finish and we ended up with some really amazing photos. It was one of those experiences where you go ‘wow, a professional really does make a difference’. Best of all, the process was enjoyable and relaxed the whole time. Highly recommended!

We used I Asia Thailand (we used them last year) and we rented a van with guide Woody and driver. We requested Woody after good comments and feedback. We did a 8 hour day trip and they were punctual, dressed well, excellent English and very informative. We started from Patong and made our way north before stopping for lunch and then east road back to the south to the many view points. The van was clean with great aircon and wifi!!!. We also had our own hand sanitiser and also wipes throughout the day. I would suggest and recommend I Asia Thailand to any family and friends. We would happily use their services again!

I planned my first trip to Chiang Mai and wanted a unique experience and the possibility to do some photography with a local guide. Seeing the advert from Lanna to visit Doi Suthep, Wat Umong, Bai Orchid-Butterfly Farm and Bua Tong "Sticky" Waterfall I thought this is perfect as it will give me a taste of the area. Lanna was very friendly from the start and she was fun to be with for the day. She was very patient when I wanted to stop and take some photos and was flexible with the timing of leaving one place and going to the next. She had so much knowledge about the places we visited and she willingly answered any questions. She made the whole day interesting and did not just repeat facts but provided explanations that kept your attention. One point we discussed was future trips and the possibility of going somewhere off the beaten track to avoid the crowds including waterfalls and overnight stays in Doi Inthanon. Lanna made the whole day a lot of fun and it was a pleasure to have her as my guide and I cannot recommend her enough. I am looking forward to my return trips to Chiang Mai and adventure to Doi Inthanon.

You will hear lot of histories about elephants behavior in their first "natural experience". This sanctuary is the first place where the people teach them how to behave like elephants, is a little bit sad to know what happened to them and how the workers need to teach how to be elephants again, by their own. Some of them were worn under cautevry so is like teaching to a baby that they need to live.
