Chiang Mai Recommendations
A few of our must sees and dos in Chiang Mai

Doi Suthep
Chiang Mai’s crown jewel! This mountaintop temple is a must when visiting Chiang Mai. With beautiful golden spires, chanting monks, and sweeping views over the whole city. We recommend going early, soak in the calm, and don’t forget to ring the bells for a little extra luck!

The Old City
Wander ancient streets lined with temples, street food, and hidden gems. Tuk tuk around the moat, sip iced lattes in leafy courtyards, and feel the magic of Chiang Mai’s historic heart. It’s the soul of the city and it’s unforgettable.

Doi Inthanon
Escape to the clouds at Thailand’s highest peak. Cool mountain air, twin pagodas, waterfalls, and jaw-dropping views. If you’re up for a little adventure, this is your perfect day trip!

Sunday Night Market
This is the night market you've dreamed of! Every Sunday, Chiang Mai’s streets come alive with color, flavor, and music. Theres handmade goods, souvenirs, and tons of food options to fill you up while shopping! We suggest going early (5ish) before it gets super busy

Elephants
Meet Chiang Mai’s most majestic locals! Rescued elephants living freely in lush, peaceful sanctuaries. We will link which sanctuaries we recommend soon :)

Jing Jai Market
Our weekend favorite! Organic and local eats, iced coffee (Nicole's fave) handmade crafts and clothes with live music under the trees. It’s our go to on a chill Sunday!

Wat Chedi Luang
Once home to the famed Emerald Buddha, this 15th-century temple is stunning at golden hour and filled with ancient wonder. It's easily one of our favorite temples in the city.

Wat Umong
Step into another time at this 700-year-old forest temple. Wander mossy tunnels, hear temple bells and monk chats echo through the trees, and feel the quiet mystery of ancient Lanna culture. A hidden gem of Chiang Mai.

Chiang Mai’s vibrant street food and rich Northern Thai flavors make a food tour an unforgettable experience. From spicy Khao Soi (our fave) to sweet mango sticky rice, it’s a fun and delicious way to explore the city! Will link food tour recs soon!
