Chiang Mai: Day 1


Nestled amidst several mountain ranges that offer captivating scenery, Chiang Mai beckons you to start your first day with stunning vistas from mountain peaks and ancient temples!

1) The Height of Thailand: Day 1 All Day

Situated in a city steeped in rich history, Chiang Mai’s ancient temples boast distinctive architecture, unlike any others in Thailand. Make sure to visit Doi Inthanon and Doi Suthep, two must-see peaks that showcase the beauty of northern Thailand. While both are located in Chiang Mai, each temple (wat) has its own unique charm.

Doi Inthanon stands in the southern part of Chiang Mai, amidst Thailand’s highest peaks. From the majestic temples atop Doi Inthanon, crafted by the King and Queen of Thailand, you’ll be mesmerized by a sea of clouds below. This locale is renowned for its sea of clouds, with the royal temple adding to its allure.

On the flip side, Doi Suthep is famed for its enchanting Lanna monastery. It’s a popular destination for locals and travelers alike, offering well-conserved nature and hill tribe settlements.
