Chiang Mai offers the most diverse and rich culture and heritage in Thailand. Founded in 1296, this city was once the capital of the Lanna Kingdom, and today, it is a great city to explore and discover the most stunning attractions. Here are 3 of them to get a head start!
Night Safari
Possibly the most exciting and famous activity to do in Chiang Mai is to go on the night safari in Hang Dong. You will encounter many animal zones including jaguar trails, predator prowls and savanna safaris. You can even hand-feed some animals during the safari. Once your safari is over, consider staying at properties like Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas and partake in some of the most luxury travel experiencesyou will find!
Wat Chedi Luang
Built during the Mengrai dynasty, this giant chedi adds colour to the Chiang Mai skyline with its unique structure. With a massive square base and an 80 metres height, this is one of the pagodas that once provided shelter to the sacred Emerald Buddha. The gum tree at the entrance, the city pillar, and the principal Buddha image are some of the fascinating sights you will come across at Wat Chedi Luang.
Doi Inthanon National Park
Featuring the highest peak in the country, this park is a haven for a strikingly diverse range of flora and fauna. Some of these species cannot be found anywhere in Thailand, and therefore, this park is a famous spot for all nature lovers locally and internationally. The mountain terrains, lush greenery, and majestic waterfalls make this park the most surreal place to be in Chiang Mai.
