Chiang Mai province is a laid-back and culture filled stop off and is a favourite on the travellers trail.

This Chiang Mai stopover includes:

  • 3 nights in a 4* hotel
  • Private transfers & guide
  • Tunnel Temple & Hilltribe Visit

Day 1: Arrive in Chiang Mai

Upon arrival in Chiang Mai Airport your guide will be waiting for you in the arrival hall holding a sign with your names on it, ready to transfer you by air conditioned vehicle to the hotel in Chiang Mai.

Day 2: Tunnel Temple and Hilltribes

Start the day with a scenic drive north of Chiang Mai, for a peek into the lives of the Hmong people. Your first stop is the famous Wat Umong. The temples full name is Wat Umong Suan Phutthatham, which translates to "Temple of the tunnels and Buddha Dhamma garden".

Next, you will continue higher into the hills, to a local hilltribe village inhabited by the White Hmong hilltribe. Spend your time exploring the vilage, meeting the locals and learning about the traditions and customs of this unique ethnic group. After some time exploring, you will head back to Chiang Mai. 

Day 3: Chiang Mai

Today is yours to explore Chiang Mai, whether you stroll amongst the temples and monasteries of the city or hire a moped and zoom up the hairpin bends to the top of Doi Suthep, where stunning views over the city contend with the golden temple that you’ll discover amongst the trees at the top of the hill. Staying in the city you can explore the shops and restaurants of Chiang Mai – why not try a bowlful of khao soi, a northern speciality made of crunchy noodles, lean beef and delicious Thai spices and herbs.

In the evening you could head over to the night market, exploring the various stalls and shops selling everything from clothes and jewellery to food and souvernirs. Finish the night at one of the city’s many laid back bars, enjoying the relaxed nighttime atmosphere of this northern town.

Day 4: Depart Chiang Mai

Your guide will meet you at your hotel and accompany you during the transfer by air conditioned private vehicle to the airport where you’ll check in for your onwards flight.
