Chiang Mai is Bangkok’s calmer northern counterpart: a walled old city dense with temples, wrapped in green hills and cooler air. It moves at a gentler pace, built for wandering lanes, sipping northern coffee, and eating khao soi until you have a favourite stall.
Buddies are launching in Chiang Mai soon. In the meantime, tell us what you would want from a day here and we will build a custom trip.
The square old city holds dozens of temples within an easy walk, including Wat Chedi Luang. Doi Suthep watches over the city from the mountain to the west. Nimmanhaemin (Nimman) is the modern café and design quarter, and the weekend Walking Streets turn whole roads into markets.
Northern Thai food is its own world: khao soi (curry noodle soup), sai ua (herby grilled sausage), nam prik ong, and sticky rice with everything. The markets are the best place to graze.
