Activities In Chiang Mai

Thailand bound and still wondering about the best things to do in Chiang Mai? You will be delighted to know that Chiang Mai makes up for the best base for a travel exploration. Along with the temples and monasteries, you can easily find authentic Thai restaurants, cozy cafes, exuberant nightlife, and adventure activities calling out for you.

Here are the top things to do in Chiang Mai that you must not simply scroll through but actually do them -

Head out to Doi Suthep - certainly the most popular destination in Chiang Mai, every Chiang Mai tour is incomplete with a visit here. Doi Suthep to Chiang Mai is just like Big Ben to London. Located 12km away from the city of Chiang Mai, the place overlooks the whole city from the mountain top. Check out the 13th century temple and the huge elephant shrine seated here.

Elephant Nature Park visit - There is only one sanctuary in the whole of Chiang Mai which is committed to the rehabilitation of elephants as it is seen that Thailand has an infamous history of animal abuse. This park acts as a safeguard centre for those elephants which have been abused by the tourism industry in the past. During your visit here, you can either just watch the elephants strolling in their natural habitat or help volunteer the sanctuary administration. Most importantly, do not expect to experience an elephant ride here.

Take delight in attractive cafe scenes - Chiang Mai is one of those few places in Thailand which offers one-of-a-kind coffee hopping experience. You can visit the quirky cafes for your morning breakfast or just drop in late evening for a decaf after your day tour. Some of the best cafes around Chiang Mai are Bird’s Nest Cafe and Good Morning Chiang Mai. Although it does not sound that exciting, yet it is one of the coolest things you will love to do in Chiang Mai.

Go bonkers at the Nimmanhaemin Road - the hub of posh bars and fancy restaurants, Nimmanhaemin Road is definitely the most vibrant place in Chiang Mai. Perfect spot for a casual hangout or weekend cocktails, you will enjoy a lively experience here. There are a few upscale bars and a shopping mall at the main road where you can enjoy movies, drinks and fine food.

Eat Khao Soi - Khao Sai is a curry flavoured soup infused with coconut milk and garnished with yellow egg noodles and chicken. Deep-fried egg noodles is also served on top of it. The real flavour of the soup is beyond the regular Thai soup served in India. Once you are in Chiang Mai, definitely try this dish out. Add some pickles and chopped garnishings for a hot flavour. Do not forget to relish this delicious dish when trying out the local dishes of Thailand.

Boat ride to the Mae Ping River - take a joyful and exciting boat trip along the Mae Ping river. If you have nothing much to do during the afternoon hours, head out to the Mae Ping river and hop on a boat. Watch some of the most mesmerising scenes as you pass by villages that have teak houses. Relax during the entire ride or take an opportunity to stop by the farms and watch how the jasmine rice is produced.

Trek through the hills enveloped by the mountains - Chiang Mai is undoubtedly a beautiful city in Thailand. With an infinite number of options available for tourists, trekking is definitely one of the best things to do in Chiang mai. When you are tired of visiting the temples, head out on a trek to any of the valleys here. On your way, you will find captivating vistas of waterfalls and valleys on either side. Also, you will get a chance to mingle with the local hill tribes here.

Take part in the Loi Krathong festival - the festival of Loi Krathong is celebrated with much excitement in Chiang Mai. It is an annual fair that takes place during the twelfth lunar month. Krathongs, baskets shaped like lotus, are released in the air during this festival. It is a sight to watch the thousands of lanterns lighting up the night sky. If you are here during the festival, make sure to release your own krathong in the sky

    Suma's 5 days trip to Chiang Mai

    We had a great time with family during the trip to Thailand. Hotel rooms and were clean and beautiful, the breakfast at the hotels was also delicious with a mix of continental, Indian, and local cuisine. The trip drivers were also on time and humble. The entire trip went through very smooth as per t
    he itinerary. My personal thanks to Yugal from Trip Trial who assisted from the beginning of the trip. Throughout the trip he was in touch with us and ensured everything was well. There was no chance to complain at all.... in-fact this is my second trip through Travel Triangle and I would LOVE to use it in the future. Thank you so much team.

    Anushree's 5 days trip to Chiang Mai

    Perfect Holiday Planners was my travel agent. I booked 3 days Krabi package through them, which included Phi Phi Islands tour by speedboat, 4 Islands tour by speedboat and private airport transfers between Krabi airport to my hotel in Ao Nang area. Their representative, Ms. Khyati was very responsiv
    e and cooperative throughout the process & provided timely response to all my queries. She even guided me considering I was traveling with my 1 year old son on this trip keeping in mind his safety & comfort. The trip was carried out smoothly and was well coordinated. Overall I would highly recommend their services and booking a trip through them.

    Rrsalian's 6 days trip to Chiang Mai

    It was a truly fantastic experience. I want to express my gratitude to Kunal and Gaurav for their exceptional support throughout the journey. The hotel in Pattaya was wonderful, providing a comfortable and enjoyable stay. However, I must admit that the hotel in Bangkok did not meet our expectations
    . Thankfully, Kunal and Gaurav swiftly arranged for us to be relocated to a nicer accommodation, ensuring that our overall experience remained positive. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the trip. Thailand offered breath-taking sights and memorable experiences. The assistance provided by Kunal and Gaurav played a significant role in making this trip a success. I would highly recommend their services to anyone planning a visit to Thailand. Thank you once again for organizing such a wonderful trip.

    Vijay's 6 days trip to Chiang Mai

    Out trip overall was great...we had enough fun despite the scorching heat!. I booked flight and hotel on my own and took others from BB for 7 days. Organizers were good but needs improvements...read on i will list all and anyone reading will have a good view because we also saw reviews first good th
    ings: 1. Cabs were all good and were on time...everything was on time..be prepared to be ready on time and indian style doesnt work! which is good i say..we boarded late everywhere, something to learn to manage time better on a personal note 2. once the on field team gave the plans a day before, everything was executed as per plan and time...good job 3. I lost the phone day4, support provided post that was good...Krabi cab driver lady helped as well to connect to sales...thanks to her 4. Phi phi tour speed boat and the instructor was nice. We had other people from same state of India so we became friends and really had fun. Snorkelling given in monkey island was too good and wow! it was awesome! Thanks. Maya bay was damn crowded and didnt enjoy but for a couple of pics to feel good...swimming in phi phi ley was ok ok with water not so clear...nice day spent 5. Please do jetski in koh kai (last stop) island...we had the best fun...and it was too good than India...thanks to the operator...I think the tour should make a tie up and provide in good price to all...it was damn fun 1000 for 2 ppl for 20 mins...they take you very far and you can ride it 6.Overall good but can be awesome as per below suggestions now the bad: 1. Indrani worked so hard to get this done till late night 2am on 2 days...nice of her and must appreciate...sole reason for booking from TT was to have hassle free tour plus given the fact that i had made them work ....in reality I would have managed all myself in fact at better rates...but at the same time she became the problem also unfortunately...on field team gave a different itinerary to her basis practicality...it was a lack of common sense from Indrani. She had my full plan given to her with flight time and everything and after confirming the plan she sent a completely different itinerary just a few hours before flight as on field team could not accommodate our day1 plan due to flight timings...but this was known to Indrani and everything was agreed as per my plan...they backtracked and i had a bad 2 hours and really got disappointed as I would lose day3 second half. I had to accept what they gave...they started asking questions as if i am on a criminal investigation...please ensure to have proofs of documents given to them via watsapp...they swapped day1 with day3 itinerary without any communication...I didnt like it...should not have accepted the booking if they couldnt deliver it that way...i would have booked on my own anyway...but once accepted their changed plans, it was all good and well executed...bad part was neither Arinjay nor Indrani were available post that to talk and they just disappeared...it wasnt great. But once i accepted on field team plans all went well. but it was not what i wanted. but end of the day it was good anyways. 2.India team were not able to tell upfront that there would be how many snorkels and where...phi phi island they gave 1 snorkel at monkey beach and it was really good and was wow! but i was looking for a more refined premium 3-4 snorkels...i think these guys dont have it...if you want so, book directly there or viator...I would have liked to pay more and get more 3. 7 island tour was ok ok mainly due to jelly fish...Krabi everywhere jelly fish issue was there...spoilt everything actually...yet snorkel at poda island was good but still jelly fish troubled although not venomous ones were in poda island ...i think they picked up slightly late so, they hurried up everywhere... 4. food for vegetarians was not great anywhere...7 island was not great...phi phi was just ok...but good thing we didnt have any stomach problems 5. you give us 3 vendor options...it is difficult to have that guilt of not giving to 2 and going with 1 tips to TT: 1. please provide more premium options like just a snorkel trip for those who want...or give 2 or more snorkel for phi phi...i would pay more and get more...upon checking in krabi there were several such options availabel for a lot less price likje 1200 thb per head 2. veg food can be improved 3. Please raise intinerary before booking...backtracking later wont be great 4. although cabs were grt and on time...would be great if can give 2 notifications, one 3-4 hours before and another 1 hour before...else it becomes stressful for slightly lazy people...like can give notification at night for next day...we had to jump and pack to meet timelines...but the blame is not really on you but on us lazy types...so, to avoid stress u can give 2 notifications 5. i recomment speed boat for 7 islands. food can be better here.. id id not like giving snorkel equipment responsibility on us...boat should store them 6. phi phi pls provide 2 or more snorkel you ccan cut swimming and give snorkel 7. pls let people know about jelly fish tips to travellers: 1. go for premium snorkel options by keeping one day extra. These organizers do not have such plans...you take normal 1 day from them and premium from other sources...can book directly in krabi/phuket or viator.. 2. Their timelines are v strict pls be prepared on time...its good thing 3. 7 islands was all about jelly f ish...everyone got bit...beware 4. spend more time snorkelling..take your own gear or at least the mouth piece 5. go on a similan island or othe rsmall island day tour... 6. we selected journey hub in patong (very good rooms and pool) really worth the price but breakfast for veg wasnt really great although they claim indian food but you have salads to compensate...Krabi resort in krabi ( v nice room and place) good breakfast ...both were hygenic and good...citrus 11 in bkk was too good a hotel dont miss breakfast here was the best and good clean rooms but no pool (we didnt want it anyways) 7. try seafood restaurant in patong opposite journeyhub...v nice thai food 8. be careful about boat edges and ladder ..can cut 9. must buy water pouch for phone...i lost my phone in poda island and it really troubled our next 2 days 11. dont miss icon siam mall at 6...good electronics available in center world just buy there and dont wait for MBK..mbk duplicate products can be there. 12. must try finger chips in icon siam 13. platinum mall products are hyped according to me...be ready with a lot of time we covered only 4 floors of 18 floors 14. no driver understands english have the translator installed 15. buy a sim right after landing...300 thb for 8 days worked well for me 16. people seem good from outside...but they are not as great...but no trouble faced...are same everywhere...if you pay well u r treated well else ignored
