Three Days in Chiang Mai: Temples, Culture & Flavors
Three days in Chiang Mai for a first visit, flying up from Bangkok and back. A place to stay inside the old city walls, walkable to the temples. The old town and its temples, a morning at the mountain temple above the city, the Ping river in the evening, and the food: khao soi, a northern Thai lunch, the Sunday walking street, and a market breakfast. Unhurried, one trip out of the city. A suggested itinerary from the TripGoGo Collection, not an account of a trip somebody took.
