With a diverse range of attractions, warm hospitality, and a diverse selection of dining and accommodation options, Chiang Mai is a place where destination wedding dreams really do come true.
Doi Suthep
Gleaming like a northern star from the heights of Doi Suthep (the regal mountain overlooking the city from the northwest) is Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. It is one of the most historically and spiritually significant places in Thailand. This regal mountain overlooks the city from the northwest, providing commanding views from its summit. Aside from its dominating presence on the horizon, Doi Suthep is the home of some of the most deeply loved symbols in the Kingdom.
Old City Temples:
Chiang Mai City encompasses everything outside of the Old City walls to the Nimmanhaemin and Huay Kaew Roads. Tourist attractions are a little thin on the ground around here, it is predominantly an area to shop, eat and drink. Nimmanhaemin Road has emerged as Chiang Mai’s hippest area. Laden with boutiques, galleries and great dining choices; it is often described as the ‘epicenter of arty Chiang Mai’. If you have a special interest in picking up unique handicrafts, antiques, clothes or accessories, we strongly recommend that you spend an afternoon rummaging along the Nimmanhaemin. Everything about the area smacks of quality.
Chiang Mai Night Safari park:
The concept of the park is to provide visitors with a thrilling experience similar to being out in the wilderness at night. From touring the three animal zones – Savanna Safari, Predator Prowl, Jaguar Trail – via an open-sided tram or on foot, enjoy a range of activities designed to keep you entertained throughout your visit, from hand-feeding wild animals and petting tiger cubs to a laser light show and ‘dancing’ fountain.
Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Chiang Mai
was among the pioneers of the new ethical elephant attractions which have swept Thailand. Effectively a retirement home for the gentle giants who have worked in the often-unpleasant logging and tourism industries, the sanctuary allows careful interaction between visitors and residents. There are no gimmicks, no circus tricks, and absolutely no riding, as it can harm the surprisingly weak backs of these mighty creatures.
The sanctuary is a paragon of responsible tourism, being operated in partnership with the nearby Karen hill-tribes and locals from Chiang Mai. At the time of writing, the sanctuary is home to over 30 elephants, with several spacious locations around 60 km from Chiang Mai for them to range in peace and comfort.
