Chiang Mai Highlights

Explore the Hidden Gems of Chiang Mai on a Local Day Tour

Start your immersive Chiang Mai day tour by hopping into a classic songthaew, a shared red truck commonly used by locals, and ride to the historic Wat Gatekaram district. This lively area offers a unique glimpse into Chiang Mai’s street life, filled with old-world charm, vibrant markets, and quiet temples tucked into winding alleys.

From there, continue your journey to Wiang Kum Kam, an ancient city buried for centuries after a catastrophic flood. Rediscovered under layers of earth, this once-lost kingdom is now one of the most fascinating historical sites in Chiang Mai. Take a guided bike tour around the major ruins and ancient temples, learning about the city’s mysterious past as you cycle through peaceful surroundings.

Return to the city center and enjoy a scenic long-tail boat cruise on the Mae Ping River, a relaxing way to experience local life along the water. Stop for lunch at a riverside eatery offering traditional Northern Thai cuisine.

In the afternoon, switch to a samlor, a traditional bicycle taxi, and ride up Thapae Road to visit the majestic Wat Chedi Luang. This iconic temple once housed the famous Emerald Buddha, and its towering ruins remain a highlight of any Chiang Mai temple tour.

End your day with a tuk tuk ride to the bustling Warorot Market, where locals shop for fresh produce, herbs, textiles, and spices. Soak in the vibrant energy and colorful chaos of this essential Chiang Mai market experience.

Finally, take a songthaew back to your hotel, wrapping up a day packed with culture, history, and local charm.
