Enchanting Chiang Mai

On arrival Chiang Mai Airport, you’ll meet your guide and transfer to your hotel.

This morning you’ll visit the most sacred temple in the North of Thailand, Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, home to a holy relic of the Lord Buddha. Tucked away in the mountains at an elevation of 1,056 meters, the temple is reached by the mythical Naga (serpent) Staircase. The temple offers exhilarating views of Chiang Mai City and its surrounding countryside. Driving back down to the city centre, we’ll visit some of the other impressive temples of Chiang Mai. Wat Suan Dok dates to the 14th century, when the Thai monarchy took walks in its gardens. Today it houses several white Chedis (stupas) containing the ashes of Chiang Mai’s former royal family, and features one of Thailand’s most famous monastic schools. We will also visit Wat Jedyod, known as, The Temple of Seven Spires. (B)
