Highlights of Chiang Mai
A Thailand Tour is not complete without a
visit to Chiang Mai. This city in the north of Thailand has a lot for visitors
to see and do and is the gateway to many of the hill tribe communities in the
surrounding area. It is also more laid back than Bangkok.
For an awesome
experience, head to Chiang Mai on a Thailand Adventure Tour where a mix of
culture, cuisine and history awaits.
Chiang Mai is famed for its temple the Wat
Phra Singh. This gilded masterpiece is a must see when visiting and is
dazzling. Famed for its Lanna architecture this is one temple not to be missed.
Most Thailand Backpacker Tours include a visit to Chiang Mai’s famous Night
Market. This is the place to find arts, crafts, and much more in this colourful
shopping experience.
One of the best things about Thailand Adventure tours is
the new food you get to try and in Chiang Mai you can even get to recreate a
few by taking a cookery lesson. Foodies can also take a walking tour of the
food market in Chiang Mai.
Don’t forget to get a classic Thai massage too which
will relieve you of all those aches and pains from carrying a rucksack on your
Thailand Backpacker tour. For the more active visitor there are guided treks
into the hills surrounding Chiang Mai where an encounter with one of many hill
tribe communities is an unforgettable experience.
Many Thailand Adventure Tours
include hiking in their plans. A river cruise on the Mae Ping River by scorpion
boat is another way to see the city and is another possibility with several
Thailand tours. Chiang Mai also has a vibrant night life with some great bars
and restaurants and these are really popular with the Thailand backpacker tours
wanting to let their hair down a little. By visiting Chiang Mai you’ll see more
of the country and experience much more of the culture than you would so get
moving and book Thailand tours for your journey today.
