Book Flights to Chiang Mai

Admire the beauty of Chiang Mai’s temples

There’s no shortage of temples here, with around 300 of them in the city and nearby countryside. Get to know one of the country’s most beautiful religious sites as you climb the heights of the Doi Suthep mountain and visit its landmark temple.

The building is covered in gold from top to bottom, making it a shining beacon that watches over the city and surrounding hills. If you’re looking for something a little closer to your hotel, head to Wat Chedi Luang in the Old City. This temple complex dates back over 600 years and was once home to Bangkok’s famed Emerald Buddha statue.

Taste authentic Thai cuisine

Book Chiang Mai flight tickets and find yourself in Thailand’s unofficial culinary capital. The best way to experience its delicious cuisine has to be with a visit to the markets that trade on Chang Khlan Road.

Your meal is quickly prepared in front of you and enjoyed elbow to elbow with other diners, giving a new definition to the term ‘fast food’. Don’t leave without trying the city’s speciality of khao soi, a curried noodle dish with juicy chicken seasoned with punchy spices.

While you’re at it, you can visit Wualai Road to pick up crafts and jewellery to take home with you as a souvenir.

Head out into the mountains

Adventure seekers will be spoilt for choice when they fly to Chiang Mai. Surrounded by misty mountains and lush, tropical jungles, this is a paradise for those looking to explore the great outdoors. One of the most popular activities is trekking, with the well-trodden Pilgrim’s Trail leading up the Doi Suthep mountain among the many routes just waiting to be discovered.

If you’re feeling brave, why not have a go at zip-lining? Soar from peak to peak and admire the jungle from above in an experience you’ll never forget. Alternatively, climb aboard a raft and float along the Mae Taeng River, past picturesque villages and rice fields.
