A little butt pain hahaha. Overall, it’s okay but won’t come again."Nong Kwai9.4km from downtownHighlights: Thailand's first night zoo, where rare nocturnal animals can be observed at dusk or night.Open all day, you can take the enclosed tram to get up close and personal with wild animals.There are many colorful entertainment activities, such as feeding the cute giraffes with your own hands, breastfeeding baby tigers, and enjoying Thailand's most spectacular musical fountain and zoo dancing performances.△ Take the tram to visit the park and have the opportunity to feed small animals△Have the opportunity to meet the King of the Forest△Dance performanceShow Less - 7.14.7/51260 ReviewFree"The ancient city of Chiang Mai is the site of the royal palace of the Lannatai Dynasty. It is in a quadrangle style, still retaining the city wall and moat. There are many relics in the city and many places of interest.

It is located in the heart of the ancient city of Chiang Mai. This square shaped Lanna style sacred stupa was built in 1411 and is nearly 80 meters high. A major earthquake once happened in Chiang Mai, and the spire of the stupa collapsed overnight. After the rebuilding of the stupa, the apex could not be completed because no one knew its original appearance. The stupa has four sides, only one side has steps, and the other three sides have been restored into slopes. The stupa is engraved with exquisite guardian spirit snakes on all sides, and there are six elephant sculptures on the tower. The building is magnificent. But the atmosphere is very natural and leisurely.Show Less - 7.04.5/52172 ReviewFree

And can feed the birds as well"Chiang Mai.Chiang Mai Ancient City14m from downtownHighlights: Part of the eastern wall, Tha Phae Gate is a highly intact city gate. Originally, the ancient city of Chiang Mai was surrounded by a wall about 2 meters high enclosed in red brick walls. Later, most of the buildings disappeared over the years. The surviving Tha Phae Gate became a very well-known attraction in Chiang Mai and a landmark. The red wall and blue sky are beautiful in the morning or at dusk when few people are around. Photographers from all over the world have come here to capture the beautiful scene of the city gate from different angles. On Sunday, the market stalls start here. When the market is closed, tourists and locals feed the pigeons in the square in front of the Tha Phae Gate. The environment is very comforting.Show Less - 6.84.7/52865 Reviewbased on 7741 reviews"A lot of people there but it’s worth for the great view about the whole city and area around Chiang Mai. Quite a few steps to climb up and a good car is recommended for the way up the mountain."Chiang Mai.Doi Suthep Area7.8km from downtownHighlights: Located on Doi Suthep, Wat Phra That is a famous Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai that was built in 1383. According to the legend, King Nu Naone of Lan Na placed a bone from the Buddha on a white elephant and released it into the jungle. The elephant is said to have climbed Doi Suthep, trumpeted 3 times, and then died, so the king ordered that a temple be built at the site. The 309 steps in front of the temple are guarded by two dragon sculptures, giving the temple its name.
