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.Chiang Mai · 26m from downtown

There are towering cliffs, deep blue lake water, and the water depth is 50 meters deep. Against the background of blue sky and white clouds, it is quite spectacular.

Chiang Mai Night Safari is absolutely amazing! The atmosphere while watching the animals from the tram is incredible, and my heart melted the moment a giraffe came up to me asking for food 😋. The park is clean, and the guides are very patient, making for a fantastic experience from start to finish. The fun and service are impeccable, and it's great value for money – definitely a must-do in Chiang Mai 👍. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to try it; remember to buy carrots to interact with! ✨

Chiang Mai Ancient City, a treasure carrying the history and culture of northern Thailand, attracts travelers from all over the world with its unique charm. Inside the ancient city wall, the Tha Pae Gate stands tall, witnessing the vicissitudes of Chiang Mai for hundreds of years. Strolling on the ancient road paved with bluestone slabs, there are scattered temples and antique buildings on both sides, each exuding a strong historical atmosphere. The literary atmosphere of Nimman Road and the bustling night market of Changkang Road add a perfect blend of modern and traditional to the ancient city. Here, you can taste authentic Thai food and feel the enthusiasm and friendliness of the Thai people. Chiang Mai Ancient City is not only a tourist destination, but also a place where people can relax and cleanse their souls. Whether traveling alone or with family and friends, Chiang Mai Ancient City can bring you an unforgettable travel experience.

A very good tour experience. The driver picked us up on time. There were nine of us sharing the ride. One section of the mountain road was quite rugged, so those prone to motion sickness should be especially careful. The weather was fantastic that day, which greatly contributed to the smooth completion of the entire trip. The activity took place in a very pristine jungle. Each small group was assigned two instructors, who were excellent at leading the group, providing a lot of emotional support, and were very attentive to safety. We experienced several toboggan runs, the last one being the highlight – a 1-2 kilometer run that was incredibly exhilarating. A simple buffet lunch was included afterward, and the food was quite good. The restaurant was located on a rather high platform, which was quite interesting. For city dwellers, being able to connect with nature was a truly uplifting experience. After the tour, the driver returned to each group's hotel, dropping them off right at their respective hotel entrances. The only downside was that some of the toboggan runs were a bit short, leaving us wanting more. If they were longer, it would be even more exciting! I highly recommend that anyone planning a trip to Kemai experience this – it's safe, reliable, and there are no hidden costs.

After breakfast, I took a taxi to Thapae Gate to take pictures. I took a few pictures by myself first, and then I saw someone who would take pictures for 100 baht and chase away pigeons for me. It was a great place to take pictures. After taking pictures, there are some drink shops nearby. If it is very hot at noon, you can also find a massage place to rest, walk around and take pictures. Be careful to protect yourself from the sun! The sun is still very strong.

I definitely recommended visiting here! It was a great day out and can be enjoyed by everyone. There is a restaurant just before you enter the water to eat and grab a drink. But overall it was a fantastic day. 10/10

A mountain that has been part of the city and the sky since I was born. I've visited countless times since I can remember. The last time was during university when I joined the freshman hike up the mountain, walking over 14 kilometers. Was it exhausting? Absolutely. But reaching the top was the most heartwarming feeling, receiving encouragement from seniors, friends, and juniors from all faculties. Since graduating, I’ve gone every year without fail.

I came to Thailand with a tour group with my friends. This shop is a shooting range near the town of Chiang Mai on the way from Bangkok to Pattaya. Although the price is not much better than in China, the important thing is that you can play more freely without too many restrictions.
