Chiang Mai City Tour #CNX-909
This guided private excursion shows you the best of Chiang Mai City with its finest sightseeing spots. One of the highlights is the drive up the hill to Doi Suthep Temple, from where you can enjoy great views of the city and surrounding area. Immerse yourself in history, while taking a tour around the old city part and later take a stroll over the colorful, bustling local market.
Available as a private tour, minimum 2 persons, daily from/to Chiang Mai
At time 09.00 you will be picked up by our tour guide and driver from the hotel in Chiang Mai. Drive first around the old town of Chiang Mai surrounded by a moat, which houses countless historical temples. One of them is Wat Chedi Luang from the 15th century, which also houses the city pillar.
Just outside the moat, you will then stop at Wat Lokmolee, a Lanna temple from the 14th century, which differs from most other temples mainly by its architecture and woodwork.
Then it's off to the Suthep Mountain Temple, which is also a kind of landmark of the city. The temple complex is located at an altitude of just over 1000 meters. In clear weather you have a great view of the city and surroundings.
Lunch will follow on route at a local restaurant.
In the center of the city on the banks the Ping River, take walk through Warorot Market (the largest and most important fresh market for the locals in Chiang Mai) and the neighboring Ton Lanyai Market with its fragrant flowers, vegetables and partly exotic fruits. Such local markets are an important part of the daily life of Thais.
If you wish to do so, then you got the opportunity to visit some of the well-known handicraft workshops in Bosang. This includes first and foremost the well-known umbrella painters, as well as the silver processing, lacquerware production, wood carvings etc. (only what you are interested in and discuss this with the tour guide!). Afterwards we will transfer you back to the hotel.
Or you are still eager to visit more of the many historic temples in the city? Maybe Wat Sri Suphan (the silver temple) or Wat Suan Dok with the 50 meter high chedi and its countless white mausoleums with mortal remains of members of the royal family. Our tour guide and driver are at your disposal any time.
