A drive takes you up the slopes of Doi Suthep Peak to visit the most sacred temple in the north, Wat Phra Thad Doi Suthep, containing a holy relic of Lord Buddha. On a clear day the panoramic views of the city from the temple ground are truly spectacular!
Located a further 18 Kilometers from Wat Doi Suthep into the mountains of Doi Suthep Pui National Park, is a White Meo Hilltribe, a relatively unspoiled hilltribe village where you can see their simple way of life.
This is a chance for you to visit the famous Golden Triangle where the borders of Thailand, Burma and Laos meet!
The day starts with an early morning drive through beautiful scenery, with a stop at the Hot Springs at Maekajan.
For a small fee, you can also enjoy the boat ride to view the splendor of mighty Mae Khong River.
Continue on to Mae Sai, the farther-most northern trading border between Thailand and Burma, where local lunch is provided. On the return journey stops are made at Akha and Yao hilltribe villages.
Visit the impressive temples of Chiang Mai including the 600-year old Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep.
After a drive up the mountain's winding road, the final climb to the site is via an enormous mythological Nagas (Dragon-headed serpent) staircase of 306 steps. The reward is amazing views of Chiang Mai from the summit of Doi Suthep.
Want to spend a romantic evening in Chiang Mai? Or just sample delicious Thai food?
Enjoy an evening out by having a Khantoke Dinner, the customary northern Thai style of eating with food being served in large platters at low tables while you sit on mats on the floor.
As you enjoy your meal, let yourself be entertained by a selection of northern cultural performances including the charming Fon Lep (Thai Finger Dance), Ram Dab (Thai Sword Dance), Fon Thiean (Thai Candle Dance), and Ram Wong (Group Dance).
To end the evening, there is a special hilltribe show performed by various members of Yao, Lahu, Meo, Lisu, and Karen hilltribe.
