Real Lanna Experience - 6 Days / 5 Nights
Chiang Mai - Mae Kampong - Doi Suthep - Mae Taeng - Phrao
Lan Na translates as a thousand rice fields and is the old name of the kingdoms of Chiang Mai and it surroundings. The glory days of the Lanna Kingdoms were in the 13th to 16th centuries when the great Thai civilizations grew up around the Muangs or city states of northern Thailand.
Our journey immerse you in the lives of the people of Lanna who are more than pleased to introduce you to their proud history and a deep rooted culture.
Your Asia travel experience begins as we escort you to a long-tail 'scorpion' boat, once a form of transport to ship cargo between Northern Thailand and Bangkok along the Mae Ping River. Travel down the very same waterway and take in historic sites and architectural gems, including a unique community fused with Chinese, Portuguese and Indian architectural elements.
After arriving in Chiang Mai you'll explore traditional hill tribe villages, indulge in relaxing Thai massage, visit local markets filled with unique local wares and even learn how to cook some of Thailand's culinary delights yourself.
We'll take you for a relaxing drive through Chiang Mai's scenic surrounding countryside to the mountain temple of Wat Prathat Doi Suthep, the most famous landmark in the city. Take in its 6kg gold peak and enjoy fabulous panoramic views over the city as the tranquil sound of temple bells fills the air. Your Northern Thailand tour will also include an elephant ride through lush mountainous terrain, white-water rafting and a chance to relax in the cool mist of a nearby waterfall.
The adventure continues with visits to local villages and a leisurely cycle ride where you'll pass sacred Buddhist sites and tranquil rice fields. Before your culturally enriching journey ends you'll also explore an ancient, heavily forested temple and learn more about Buddhist life from local monks.
