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 Sticky Waterfall half-day tour [optional Chiang Mai Blue Temple/Tiger Kingdom]
Guest User2026-03-15
The nature is beautiful, and climbing the waterfall is quite enjoyable. Not many people visit, but you should also check out Cold Spring. A local guide explains the origins of the place, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful.★

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.★

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.
