A day around Chiang Mai — for example

  1. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep — The golden chedi on the mountain above the city, about 30–40 minutes from the old city; a staircase of about 300 steps leads up to it.
  2. Doi Inthanon — Thailand's highest mountain, about 2 hours south-west of the city: the twin royal pagodas, waterfalls and cool forest at the top.
  3. Rice terraces — The terraced fields of Mae Klang Luang, a Karen village on the slopes of Doi Inthanon.
  4. The old city — Wat Chedi Luang's great brick chedi, Wat Phra Singh and the quiet lanes inside the moat.
  5. Tha Phae Gate — The best-known gate of the old city wall, by the moat, where the Sunday Walking Street begins.

Doi Suthep or Doi Inthanon?

Doi Suthep is close, so it fits into one day with the temples of the old city, Doi Pui village or a café in Nimman. Doi Inthanon is a full day: about 2 hours each way, and much cooler at the top — bring a jacket in the cool season.

The old city

Inside the moat the old city's temples stand close together — Wat Chedi Luang's great brick chedi, Wat Phra Singh and many smaller ones — so several fit between the mountain and lunch. At every temple, cover your shoulders and knees, and take your shoes off before you go inside.

FAQ

Can we change the stops on the day?

Yes, within the 10 hours and in Chiang Mai province. The driver follows your plan and waits at each stop.

Does the driver guide us at the sights?

The driver drives and waits; it is not a guided tour. Some drivers like to tell you about the places on the way.

Can we start early, for the sunrise on the mountain?

Yes: tell us the start time when you book. You have the car and driver for up to 10 hours.
