Located in the northern mountains of Thailand, Chiang Mai is a great place to find relaxation and peace. You can see incredible landscapes and landmarks while you’re there.
Chiang Mai has 200 or so Buddhist temples that you can visit. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is a temple that overlooks the city. You will have to climb a 306-step staircase flanked famously by two statues of mythical sea serpents called “naga.” The terrace at the top has breadfruit trees, rock gardens, and small shrines for you to view.
Baan Kang Wat is an artist village with many independent businesses and artisans selling handmade items and home decorations. Join some classes or workshops to make your own wooden handicraft. For a pick-me-up, visit Akha Ama Coffee, a legendary local cafe where you can drink coffee made with local beans. For a more tranquil experience of Chiang Mai, visit Doi Inthanon, a national park featuring stunning waterfalls and pagodas.
Chiang Mai Gate Market is the best place to find street food in Chiang Mai. Fill yourself up with pad kra pow, a spicy meat and basil dish. Try some fresh mango sticky rice with coconut milk if you’re craving something sweeter.
