Things to do in Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai, tucked into the forested mountains of northern Thailand, is a former Lanna kingdom capital. With ancient temples, misty hills, and artisan villages, Chiang Mai offers a peaceful contrast to the bustle of Bangkok. Chiang Mai weather varies by season, with the cool, dry months from November to February being ideal for outdoor adventures and temple visits.
Top things to do in Chiang Mai include exploring the Old City, visiting mountaintop Doi Suthep, and wandering Chiang Mai night markets, where food, crafts, and local charm come together every evening. One highlight is the city shines during the Chiang Mai Lantern Festival, when thousands of glowing lanterns float into the night sky—a truly magical sight.

Reviews: Chiang Mai: Amazing! Doi Suthep & Wat Umong Night Tour with Guide
Guest User2026-01-24
As an international tour group, I was forced to practice my English listening skills for almost four hours. The night view was beautiful, and the half-day tour wasn't tiring.★

Reviews: Chiang Mai Sticky Waterfall half-day tour [optional Chiang Mai Blue Temple/Tiger Kingdom]
Guest User2026-02-04
Overall the trip was a really great experience. Pick up was easy and prompt, but you are relying on others in the group to be ready on time. We did the Angels Waterfall and Sticky Waterfall package and I would definitely recommend. Although Angels Waterfall is a man-made attraction it really is beautiful. The water pools and flora really makes it feel like you are in a magical forest. It’s a great place to get some really spectacular photos, so ideal for bloggers, influencers, photographers. There are also rabbits and goats that you can pay ฿20 to feed. The only thing I would complain about is that it doesn’t tell you in the description that there is an ฿80 entrance fee. The Sticky Waterfall was so much fun. Quite busy, so if you are joining a tour group be prepared for that as you won’t arrive early enough to beat the crowds. We felt that the amount of time we had at each location was just the right amount and enjoyed the day immensely. Would definitely recommend.★

The trip is as described. I enjoyed the whole experience and there was plenty of time for sightseeing and taking photos although you will spend a lot of time in the van. Tiring but wonderful.★

Reviews: 3-in-1: Doi Inthanon Tour, Elephant Sanctuary, and Trekking Trail
Guest User2026-02-22
This tour was one of the highlights of our trip! It was awesome from beginning to end no to end. Our tour guide (?Mahki) was knowledgeable, helpful, and made our day pleasant and enjoyable. The Living Green elephant sanctuary is an ethical sanctuary and it was an honor to spend some time with the elephants there. Every part of Doi Inthanon was amazing, but my favorite part was the trekking and seeing the waterfalls. So beautiful! I would give this tour my highest recommendation.
