Free at leisure after starting off the day in Chiang Mai by giving you an overview of our beautiful city with over 700 years of history. We take the winding road up the side of the hill overlooking the city to visit the most significant temple in Chiang Mai, the 600 year-old Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, which lies 3,500 feet above sea level.

Inside you will find the symbol of the city, the copper-plated Chedi that is topped by a five-tier gold parasol, which contains relics of the Lord Buddha.

From the terrace on a clear day, you will have a fine panoramic view of the entire city. Once you get there, that final climb up the 306 steps of the Naga staircase (a Thai mythological Dragon-headed serpent) will seem worth it! In the city we will see the King’s glorious flower garden temple at Wat Suan Dok with a large central Stupa and Wat Chedi Luang which consists of an impressive Chedi, originally built in 1411 and Wat Phra That Doi Suthep (the most outstanding landmark of Chiang Mai 3,500 feet above sea level).

Mae Taman is a 45-minute drive from Chiang Mai but is worlds away otherwise. This verdant valley is the home of an elephant camp, where these intelligent creatures are cared for by their handlers. Watch when the elephants are fed and then observe their incredible abilities. Asian elephants possess legendary strength and for centuries have been used to drag logs from forests. Some elephants play catch, tossing items with their trunks, and others have even learned to paint and play harmonicas. No matter what you see, like an elephant, you won’t forget this experience. Then join the fun yourself and take an elephant for a ride in the jungle(Optional Tour). High aboard this noble beast with your head brushing the tree leaves, you will feel like the king of the jungle.
