Hidden in the mountainous Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai is where the old meets the new. Head to the Wat Phra That Doi Suthep temple, one of the most sacred pilgrimage spots in Thailand. Climb the 300-step Naga staircase and be rewarded with views that'll truly take your breath away.
For the thrill-seekers out there, Chiang Mai’s dense jungles offer an adrenaline rush like no other. Go ziplining with Skyline Adventure across the lush jungles. Get ready for their longest 900m zipline, where you can feel the wind in your hair and the world below your feet.
As for families travelling with kids, why not visit an ethical elephant sanctuary such as the Elephant Pride Sanctuary? Spend a day with these gentle giants, learn about their stories, and maybe even give them a bath.
When the sun dips behind the mountains, Chiang Mai comes alive in a different light. Consider visiting the Sunday Night Walking Street along Ratchadamnoen Road, which boasts a treasure trove of crafts, food, and performances.
