Chiang Mai Tours
Chiang Mai features hundreds of things to do and see. A countless number of significant and historic temples, located all over the Old City area, are awaiting discovery. The variety of hill-tribe villages will bring a unique and memorable experience to visitors.
Nature lovers can explore the mountainside and green scenery with elephant trekking and river rafting, or simply join off-track sightseeing trips on bikes or bicycles.
Elephant Trekking & Bamboo Rafting
A great way to explore Thailand's diverse landscape other than on foot is by elephant or along rivers . Scaling the dizzy heights, elephants lead down well worn routes, where the elevated view of the mountain interior adds new dimension to the scenery.
Helping to bathe and feed the elephants is a truly unique experience, while bamboo-rafting down a river is a big adrenalin rush! Tours are tailored around the level of adventure required by travellers, with everything from one-day trips to overnight stays available. (Read more...)
Culture & City Tours
Chiang Mai is a city rich in history and culture with numerous historical temples, chedis and stupas located around the Old City area (Tha Phae Gate). Visitors can hire a horse-drawn carriage or walk through on foot, free to pause and view the surrounding wonders.
On the outskirts of the city, the Golden Chedi sits at the top of Doi Suthep. Several fascinating museums like the National Museum display the city's history from the Lanna period to present, a definite must for anybody interested in the city's rich cultural heritage. (Read more...)
Bicycle & Motorbike Tours
For those who are drawn to off-the-beaten-track adventures Chiang Mai is so famous for, jumping on a bike and exploring the sights might just be the best way to do it. Tours can last anywhere between two to five days, in which time elephant trekking and hill-tribe visits can be done.
Sightseeing during these trips are of course in abundance. To raise the tempo, a motorcycle tour will undoubtedly be a breezier experience and provide the opportunity to travel to the region's famous Golden Triangle. (Read more...)
Hill Tribes
Enjoy the unique travel experience of a hill-tribe discovery, offering an insight into the daily routines of these elusive minority ethnic groups. Villages are located in mountainous areas, like Doi Suthep, home to the White Meo tribe.
Other mountains further afield include Doi Angkhang, which is a three-hour car-ride from the city. Tribal villages here include the Musur, the Palong, the Jean Hor, and Thai Yai. Hill-tribe villages are best-visited with a local guide on an organised tour with lunch and air-conditioned transport included. (Read more...)
Mae Hong Son Tour
Spanning three days, this tour engages with the colourful hill-tribe people who live on the border between Thailand and Myanmar, west of Mae Hong Son. The most distinctive of the minority group, the women with their elongated, ringed necks make for interesting viewing.
Other attractions include hot springs, waterfalls, river rafting, traditional markets and temples. Half an hour away by plane from Chiang Mai, flying is a convenient option, but the drive along the mountain-fringed main road produces some mind-blowing scenery. (Read more...)
