Chiang Mai
Nestled in the mountains of the north, Chiang Mai enchants with its peaceful atmosphere and deep roots in Thai culture. Between the alleys of the old city and the region’s wild natural landscapes, this former royal capital invites both relaxation and adventure. Here, visitors discover majestic temples, a vibrant artisan scene, flavorful cuisine, and lush nature.
Chiang Mai at a glance
What I love most here is the gentle pace of life blended with an ever-present cultural richness. To truly soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the essentials without rushing, I recommend spending at least 3 or 4 days in Chiang Mai.
Here are some of my favorite experiences:
Witnessing the monks’ morning chanting at Doi Suthep temple at sunrise, a magical moment suspended in time,
learning Thai cooking alongside a local chef, starting with a morning visit to the market,
wandering through artisan markets and taking home one-of-a-kind handmade creations,
trekking in Doi Inthanon, among rice terraces, waterfalls, and small villages,
sharing a respectful encounter with elephants in an ethical sanctuary.
