Description of the offer

In the morning around 8 a.m., your English-speaking guide, accompanied by a driver, will pick you up directly from your hotel to begin this day of sightseeing in Chiang Mai.

Your first stop will be Wat Phra That, a sacred and iconic site in the region, built atop a mountain overlooking the city. From there, enjoy a panoramic view of Chiang Mai and its surroundings.

Next, head to a small temple hidden in the forest, beside the soothing sound of a waterfall. A place of meditation and tranquility, it's one of our favorite spots in Chiang Mai! But shhh…

For lunch, you'll head to a floating food shack located by a lake popular with local families. You'll enjoy a simple yet delicious meal in a friendly atmosphere where tourists are rare.

In the early afternoon, you'll visit a traditional artisan village where local crafts have been passed down through generations. You'll see artisans at work, carefully creating the famous Sa paper umbrellas, among other creations.

To end the day, you'll head to natural hot springs, whose healing waters are known for their relaxing properties. This is the perfect moment to unwind before returning to your hotel in the late afternoon.

Book in advance: English-speaking guides are in high demand, especially between November, January, and February, as well as during July–August in Chiang Mai. Early booking is strongly recommended tif you plan to visit Chiang Mai in February, July, August or November during Loy Krathond.
