Chiang Mai is a city located on northern part of Thailand. It has been regarded as the capital of north Thailand. It is also the home of one of our companion's relative. Her relative invited us to visit them, so from day 4 to day 6 of our trip we will spend time living with them and explore city of Chiang Mai. It has over 300 temples. The city, Chiang Mai's historical center is the walled city.Sections of the wall was restored and remained intact but of the rest only the moat remains. We will be renting bicycles to explore around Chiang Mai.
On the last day at Chiang Mai, we plan to do the elephant trekking that is unique for Chiang Mai. We will start the elephant jungle trek from the bank of Ping River. The trek goes upstream pass through jungles with bamboo trees, upward toward Lisu Hilltribe Village. We will have local lunch at the tribe. Then we will return by water rafting through Ping River. On the return to Chiang Mai we will stop by Orchid Farm at Mae Su. The day trip of trekking and water rafting will cost us about $77. ( link to the site where you can book such day trip : Here )
