Chiang Mai Explorer - Suggested Tour
(CMSUGG2)
Day 1 Visit the most important temple of Chiang Mai, Wat Phrathat Doi
Suthep. Admire the view from this hilltop vantage point and savour the atmosphere of the
inner sanctum which houses the spectacular golden chedi. Drive down from this hilltop
temple, passing through Doi Suthep National Park and continue on to Vieng Khum Kam. This
is probably the first large settlement in the Chiang Mai area, even before the existing
old city of Chiang Mai was conceived. Day 2 Take an adventure in the hills north of Chiang Mai. See the elephants in Mae Taeng and after watching the elephants going through their paces, take an elephant ride and sample some bamboo rafting down the Mae Taeng River. Afterwards go further north to see different hilltribes: Lisu, Karen and Palong. No strenuous walking is involved but time is taken to explore the villages and meet the people. You will be able to learn about and compare the different kinds of tribes and their customs. Late in the afternoon, return to Chiang Mai. (L) Day 3 Visit the ancient town of Lamphun, just to the south of Chiang Mai. Here you will see two famous temples - Wat Phrathat Haripunchai and Wat Kukut. After strolling around Lamphun, continue on to Ban Tawai which is famous for its woodcarving and antique reproductions. Notes: This is a private tour; entrance fees, elephant riding and rafting, and lunch are included. Accommodation is not included.
