🇹🇭Chiang Mai | First Timers
Chiang Mai experiences mild seasons and it's MUCH cooler between November to March. Peak temperatures in "summer" can go up to 41 degrees celcius
Day 1: Arrive in Chiang Mai and Explore the Gated City
Where to stay:
Stayed at the Moon Dragon Hotel which was super comfy and convenient but still dreaming about the mushroom houses slightly further out and wishing we could have stayed there too
Day 2: Doi Inthanon!!
Get out of the city for a bit with this day trip
Best to book a tour to drive you up and the guide will show you around the area
Hike up, swim in the falls, stop to draw the scenery, learn to make coffee. So much to do up in the mountains and the weather is also a nice relief from the heat in the city
There's still time after the day tour to enjoy a night out and this drag show was one of the most fun things we did (no entry fee, just get drinks)
Day 3: Arts Village
Spend the afternoon getting a Thai massage
Day 4: Shopping!!
Spend the afternoon chilling (ideally at the Moon Dragon pool while temperatures hit a record 41 degrees)
Head out into the cooler night air (still 37 degrees celcius) to explore the night bazaar in the city center
Honestly the largest night market in Southeast Asia (compared to Krabi, Phuket, etc.) Great variety of stores and it spans the whole city square
Day 5: Last Day 🥲
And then back home🥲
