Chiang Mai itineraries

Doi Suthep and the Old City

Up the mountain to the golden chedi before the heat, then three temples on foot inside the square moat, ending at the Night Bazaar. If it's your first time in Chiang Mai, this one day gives you the whole picture.

Nimman base, forest temples and a trail

Drop your bags in Nimman's café lanes, spend day one at a cave temple in the woods and an artists' village, and climb the Monk's Trail at dawn on day two. For people who want the slow side of Chiang Mai, not the checklist.

Two nights in the Old City, weekend markets and elephants

Arrive Saturday, leave Monday. Saturday night on the Wualai silver street, Sunday morning at Jing Jai and Sunday night on the walking street, then Monday in a mountain valley with rescued elephants. Two markets, three temples and elephants in one trip.
