Maya Lifestyle Shopping Center

Meeting point is at Starbucks Maya Shopping Mall at 7.15 AM. Please arrive 15 minutes before the meeting time.

5 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep

Chiang Mai’s most iconic skyline moment. Ride up to the golden stupa, hear the legend of the white elephant, and take in sweeping city views - part pilgrimage, part postcard, all Northern Thailand magic.

1 hourAdmission Ticket Included

Wat Umong

A forest temple with ancient tunnels, mossy bricks, and a calm that feels like stepping out of the city. Wander under the trees, find hidden corners, and hear the stories behind Chiang Mai’s most quietly iconic sanctuary.

1 hourAdmission Ticket Free

Wat Suan Dok

White stupas, wide open space, and a peaceful atmosphere that hits you in the chest (in a good way). Learn why this temple matters to Chiang Mai’s royal and monastic history - and get some of the best golden-hour photos in town.

30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Wat Jed Yod

The “Seven Spires” temple with serious UNESCO energy. A rare blend of Lanna and Indian-inspired architecture — mysterious, beautiful, and totally different from the usual temple route.

30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Siri-Wattana Market / Tha-Nin Market

Local life, no filter. Snack your way through Northern Thai staples, tropical fruit, street-style sweets, and everyday Chiang Mai flavors - a market stop that feels real, not staged.

30 minutesAdmission Ticket Included

Wat Chiang Man

Chiang Mai’s oldest temple - the one that started it all. Ancient foundations, beautiful Lanna details, and a sense of “origin story” you can actually feel when you step inside the courtyard.

30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Three Kings Monument

The city’s founding story, in one powerful square. Meet the three kings who shaped Chiang Mai’s identity, then use this as your “map point” to understand the old city like a local.

15 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Jhaban Road

Take a delicious break on Jhaban Road with a quick tasting of local Northern Thai street food favorites.

30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Warorot Market (Kad Luang)

Chiang Mai’s legendary market - loud, colorful, and packed with local treasures. Food stalls, spices, textiles, souvenirs, and that “this is the real Chiang Mai” energy, all under one roof.

1 hourAdmission Ticket Free

Wat Chedi Luang Varavihara

A ruined giant at the heart of the old city. Walk beneath the massive ancient chedi, feel the Lanna power of old Chiang Mai, and catch the quiet details - nagas, elephants, and centuries of history still standing.

30 minutesAdmission Ticket Included

Wat Phra Singh

Classic Lanna elegance done right. Gilded roofs, intricate wood carvings, and one of Chiang Mai’s most revered Buddha images - this is the temple that makes people slow down and whisper “wow.”
