APF-02: One Day Highlight of Chiang Mai

Overview

Chiang Mai has had a long and independent history and shows Thai history through its fantastic scenery along Chiangmai’s moat, which is surrounded by historical and cultural heritage. First, we visit Waroros Market which is the biggest local market in Chiang Mai where lots of Thai locals do their shopping. Here you will find a lot of goods, such as clothes, ethnic foods, vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers. Then, continue toTha Phae Gate and Chedi Luang Temple which is Temple of the big stupa which was built at the end of 14th century. You will experience the signature dish of this part of the world, “Khao Soi” for lunch; the dish is prepared to a very special recipe which brings out the unique flavor of the mild, creamy curry soup. After lunch, we drive to Mae Ping River Cruise. You will leave from the jetty at Wat Chai Mongkol and travel north out of the city (Private boat ). The river soon shows its true rural identity as city bridges pass from view and are replaced by scenes of wide water stretching from green tree lined bank to bank. Give you the opportunity to see Chiang Mai from a different angle. The boat chugs on to reach its destination point the Thai Farmer’s House. Relax over a herb juice, together with an Ice-cream. Following this, we drive up to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep or Doi Suthep Temple, one of northern Thailand’s most important and beautiful temples, located near the top of Doi Suthep (Mount Suthep). Enjoy the magnificence of the temple with its Golden Chedi glowing and spectacular views of Chiang Mai City and its surroundings.
