The city has something to offer to people of all walks of life, with activities ranging from the slow and idyllic, to extreme and demanding. There is so much to do here that it can be difficult to choose, and we have highlighted some of the best to make the decisions easier for you.

1. Visit Doi Suthep Temple

When most people think of Thailand they tend to think of the stunning beaches and islands, but that is not the only natural beauty that the country has to offer. Head to Chiang Mai, and you will also find some stunning mountain scenery, much of which you can see from the city itself.

Chiang Mai is a city that is surrounded by mountainous terrain and one of the most popular is Doi Suthep. Visitors can take a trip up to the top of the peak, which stands at 1,676 meters high. For Thais, the mountain is not only visually stunning but also has deep religious and spiritual significance thanks to its glorious temple at the peak.
