3 Days 2 Nights: A Different Perspective on Chiang Mai

3 Days 2 Nights in Chiang Mai: A Different Perspective...

Immerse yourself in the lush greenery of Chiang Mai during the rainy season. This time, we'll explore the city from a different perspective by joining a 9-temple tour organized by our accommodation. This budget-friendly option provides convenience and eliminates the need for car rentals. Our local driver ensures efficient travel, allowing us to visit multiple locations in a single day. The tour includes transportation, accommodation, and meals, making it a hassle-free experience.

Our three-day, two-night stay was at Baan Suan Feung Fah in Mae Rim district. We chose this location for its tranquility, natural surroundings, and proximity to the Ping River. If you're visiting Chiang Mai, consider a change of pace by staying outside the city like us. Getting to the city center is convenient, taking about 14 kilometers. Another reason we chose this place is because they offer tours for those who don't like planning their own itineraries. The tour includes visits to nine famous temples in Chiang Mai, as well as delicious food, cafes in Nimmanhaemin, and the walking street. All this for a single price of 3,500 baht per person, which includes accommodation for three days and two nights, airport/train station/bus transfer, and the tour.

…However, for this trip, we decided to break the mold and drive ourselves around in a rental car from "กินเที่ยว รถเช่า เชียงใหม่" instead of joining a tour. This way, we could also visit some cute cafes along the way. Let's see where we went (details for each location are below the pictures). Let's see which 5 temples and 3 cute cafes we visited…

For our journey, we chose Nok Air. Not only are their prices friendly, but their staff are also friendly and always greet you with a smile. There are multiple flights available each day, both to and from Chiang Mai and Bangkok. Additionally, you can check in online and select your own seat. As a bonus, their flights are currently running on time. Book your tickets at www.nokair.com.

Do you know where this road leads? We are going to the Phra Phutthabat Si Roi temple. The road to the temple is quite steep and winding. If you are driving yourself, please be careful. However, if you are coming with a tour arranged by the accommodation, you can sit back and relax all the way, as the local driver will take you there.

• Wat Phra That Si Roi, Mae Rim District, is not only famous for its religious significance but also for its stunning beauty. The temple, especially the chapel, is nestled amidst mountains and forests, offering a serene and tranquil atmosphere. It is said that if you visit Chiang Mai, you should pay your respects at least once.

It is one of the oldest temples in Chiang Mai. Wat Chedi Luang is known for having the most unique stupa, which has seven spires on a square base, resembling the Mahabodhi stupa in Bodh Gaya, India. It is considered one of the most important religious sites in Thailand.
