What you will see in Chiang Mai during a Sightseeing tour
When you set foot in Chiang Mai, the spiritual heart of Thailand, it becomes clear why this ancient city is a magnet for travelers from around the globe. With a sightseeing tour, you’re about to immerse yourself in a splendid tapestry of cultural history, natural beauty, and mouthwatering cuisine. Here’s a little secret: booking your tour with
Happytripz ensures an unforgettable journey through the city’s most cherished gems.
Historical Temples and Lanna Culture
Chiang Mai hosts over 300 Buddhist temples, each telling a story of faith and history. A tour with us will bring you to the famed
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, a glittering golden edifice presiding over the city from its mountaintop throne. Be prepared to learn the legends and marvel at the panoramic views that stretch for miles. Then, there's the
Wat Chedi Luang, where you’ll be captivated by a towering chedi that once cradled the most revered Emerald Buddha.
The Lanna culture is palpable at every corner and our guides, who are as passionate about their heritage as they are knowledgeable, will introduce you to its rich tapestries, delicate handcrafts, and entrancing dances.
Local Markets and Cuisine
If your taste buds are adventurous, Chiang Mai will feel like a culinary paradise. We’ll wend our way through the famous
Night Bazaar, a sensory whirlwind where the air is scented with spicy, sweet, and tangy aromas. Indulge in
khao soi, a northern Thai curry noodle delight that is a true local staple.
Don’t miss the
Warorot Market (often called Kad Luang), the beating heart of Chiang Mai’s market scene. Here’s the perfect place to sample traditional Thai snacks, and if you’re looking to bring home a piece of Chiang Mai, the teak carvings and silk products are irresistible.
Stunning Nature and Wildlife
A stone's throw from the bustling city lies a world of natural bliss. The picturesque
Doi Inthanon National Park, home to the highest mountain in Thailand, promises refreshing waterfalls and walking trails through lush greenery. With a map to guide us, we’ll explore this verdant wonderland—mark it as a 'must-see' on your itinerary.
The majesty of elephants is monumental in Thai culture, and a visit to an ethical sanctuary like
Elephant Nature Park (

Art and Museums
For those with an appreciation for artistry and history, the
Chiang Mai National Museum is an anchor of the region’s past, reminding visitors of the city's place at the center of the Lanna Kingdom. A stroll through its informative exhibits reveals artifacts and stories that paint a vivid picture of this area’s storied lineage.
The lesser-known, yet equally spellbinding, is the
Lanna Folklore Museum, an unassuming treasure trove that caters to the intellect and the imagination with its narrative on local traditions and way of life.
