About this trip

Minimum of 2 people required to confirm this trip.

Embark on the ultimate insider’s introduction to Chiang Mai, where ancient spirituality meets vibrant modern culture. Your adventure begins at 8:30 AM aboard a private Tuk-Tuk, weaving through streets where artisan craft breweries sit alongside gilded pagodas.

First, dive into the sensory explosion of Warorot Market, a bustling labyrinth of exotic spices, textiles, and local snacks. Next, stand in awe before the massive ruins of Wat Chedi Luang. Here, you’ll have the rare opportunity to engage in a spiritual exchange with a revered monk, gaining profound insights into Buddhist life.

The journey takes a dazzling turn at Wat Sri Suphan, the world’s only Silver Temple. Unlike Thailand’s typical gold-leaf shrines, this masterpiece is handcrafted in intricate silver. You’ll even join local artisans in a private workshop to hammer your own souvenir using 500-year-old techniques. After exploring the murals of Wat Phra Singh and a delicious local lunch, you’ll return enriched by the true soul of the North.
