Day 6 - 8: Chiang Mai

You have 2 full days for you to explore Chiang Mai at your leisure or just relax at the hotel. You may want to explore the many sights of Chiang Mai including the city of Wiang Kum Kam, visit the many local markets and sample the unique street life.

We suggest doing the half day Chiang Mai City & Temples Tour (bookable before you travel at £29 per person).Get a flavour for Chiang Mai’s beautiful and historic Buddhist Temples including a fascinating visit to the 600 year old temple of Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep perched near the summit of Doi Suthep at 5300 feet. The tour then continues to Wat Suan Dok whose large central stupa contains a Buddha relic which supposedly self-multiplied. According to legend, the Buddha relic was placed on the back of a sacred white elephant, which was allowed to roam wherever it wanted. The last temple visited is Wat Chedi Luang. In its day, Wat Chedi Luang must have been the most impressive temple in Chiang Mai. Built about 600 years ago, the huge chedi that gives the temple its name must have soared high above the surrounding city. Unfortunately this was destroyed several hundred years ago, although the exact reasons are unknown. This half day tour can be taken either in the morning or the afternoon.
