Day 7Self - Guided Day in Chiang Mai

Self guided
Laid-back Chiang Mai is the perfect place to explore at your leisure. As the former capital of the independent Lanna Kingdom (1296-1558), history lingers in its moated Old City and abundant wats (Buddhist temples). However, its student population has also helped birth a creative and cosmopolitan side, as seen in its modern art galleries and trendy cafés.

Spend some time at the Old City’s famous landmarks, such as Wat Phra Singh, an opulent 14th-century temple complex. For shopping, don’t miss the San Kamphaeng Road. Also known as Handicraft Highway, it stretches for 11 miles (18 km) and is the place to buy artisanal crafts like pottery and silverwork. Just outside the old quarter is 19th-century Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, a gleaming golden temple that’s especially spectacular at sunset. And after dark, Chang Klan Road is the place to be, as it comes alive with street-food vendors and stalls.

If time permits, you can visit San Kamphaeng Hot Springs, a 90-minute drive from the city. This open-air spa features hot-water geysers shooting 65 feet (20 m) into the air. The springs are a great place to soak in mineral baths while enjoying the landscaped gardens. For a more active excursion, travel a couple of hours from Chiang Mai to Bua Tong National Park, for a jungle hike and to climb the famous Sticky Waterfall. The white stones that comprise this cascade have a sponge-like surface, giving them grip underfoot.
