Adventure Tours in Chiang Mai
Journey into the Heart of the North
Chiang Mai is the hub of Northern Thailand. With a population of over 170,000 in the city proper, it is Thailand’s fifth-largest city.
Located on a plain, surrounded by mountains and lush countryside, it is much greener and quieter than Bangkok, and has a cosmopolitan air and a significant expat population, factors which have led many from Bangkok to settle permanently in this “rose of the north”.
Chiang Mai is a trekkers and cyclists paradise; known for its elephant sanctuaries, waterfalls and rice terraces.
Awaken Your Senses in Chiang Mai
Modern-day Chiang Mai has expanded in all directions, but particularly to the east towards the Ping River, where Chang Klan Rd, the famous Night Bazaar and the bulk of Chiang Mai’s hotels are located.
The locals say, you’ve not experienced Chiang Mai until you’ve seen the view from Doi Suthep, eaten a bowl of kao soi, and purchased an umbrella from Bo Sang. Getting out of the city is quite simple, and the mountains and paddy fields that surround Chiang Mai are excellent for hiking, cycling and ziplining.
