Meet our guide at your hotel and drive to the riverfront Warorot Market, Chiang Mai’s bustling ‘Chinatown’ quarter
extending on both sides of Chang Mai Road. Be prepared for an assault on your senses as you encounter
unfamiliar sights, smells, and bustling crowds.
Nearby is the market where Hmong hill tribe textiles are for sale while facing the Ping River is the photogenic
flower market.
From here we head to Thapae Gate, one of the four original city gates, where we continue by samlor, or rickshaw
to a number of temples, including Wat Chiang Man, Wat Phra Singh and Wat Chedi Luang.
You will also have the chance to meet with an English-speaking monk, who will answer your questions and offer
some insight into Buddhism.
After this we have lunch at a nice restaurant, before driving up into the hills to visit Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, a
sacred temple named after Doi Suthep Mountain with impressive views looking down on Chiang Mai.
Along the way, we will stop briefly at the shrine of the monk Kruba Srivichai, whose followers constructed the
road to the temple in 1935.
After participating in a blessing ceremony and admiring the view we drive back to Chiang Mai. On the way down
we stop briefly at Wat Pha Lat, Chiang Mai's "jungle temple".
At the end of the afternoon, your guide and driver will drop you off at your hotel.
