“Thai food isn’t about simplicity; it’s about the juggling of disparate elements to create a harmonious finish. It’s spicy, sour, sweet, salty and bitter all fighting for supremacy.”

Chiang Mai Thailand

Your guide will meet you at your hotel and take you to the beautiful Suthep Mountain. Enjoy stunning valley views from the temple, arriving early to avoid the crowds. Climb 300 steps to the top for an amazing sight. Next, visit Doi Pui Village to learn about the Hmong community’s history. Hike to the nearby Hmong village, Ban Mae Sa Mai, in the lush Mae Sa Valley, which feels like a tropical rainforest. The hike lasts about five hours and is led by a Hmong local familiar with plants and opium cultivation. Take a moment to see the footprint of Buddha before enjoying a picnic lunch. Afterwards, drive back to Chiang Mai and return to your hotel to relax after an exciting day.
