sign. Check out the white elephant replica within the temple grounds. Be prepared to climb over 300 steps from the entrance or take a 50 baht tramway ride up.
Have An Adventure
The village trails outside the main city are worth exploring. There are many tours available – from a few hours to a few days. Half-day tours to Mae Sa Valley’s “show villages” feature elephants, buffalo and monkeys entertaining visitors. Elephant rides are common. Multi- day choices will include longer treks and stays in remote hilltribe villages with walks to waterfalls and river rafting thrown in. You can also mountain bike in Mae Taeng Valley, 40km north of Chiang Mai.
Get A Massage
Sprouting like mushrooms in recent years, massage services are found at the Walking Street and night markets where tourists frequent. Quality varies but costs are reasonable (as
little as 60 baht for a roadside 30- minute foot massage). For more luxurious massages, visit the spas at major resorts.
Chill Outdoors
Huay Teung Thao Reservoir, a sizeable lake about 10km northwest of the city, is a great
,
place to chill out, have a picnic, swim or windsurf
during the hotter
months. There are
numerous food stalls and vendors right at or over
the water’s edge. Don’t panic if
you hear gunfire
in the distance
as the reservoir
sits on Thai army “reserve” land.
