Not only famous for its large area, but this area also attracts tourists through the combination of natural beauty and fascinating Lanna culture, with ancient historical temples and lively cuisine.

After landing, a private car will transfer you to your hotel and settle in before getting acquainted with the mountainous landscapes of northern Thailand. Your first day on Chiang Mai 7 days tour will begin with a visit to the highest peak, Doi Pui, on the Doi Suthep mountain range. Let the kids burn off the energy and excitement after the flight with a gentle hike along the ridge.

Take in views of the city as you reach a Hmong village nestled on the mountainside, and stop at a nearby café to sample their locally roasted and grown coffee. Here, you can also sample some local food and learn about the culture of the ethnic people as well as their daily life.

It’s a peaceful moment for you while playing with the kids. Lunch will be served at a floating restaurant, it will be a certainty new experience for the children to smile. After lunch, you can relax on the shaded terrace or continue to swim with the kids.

Mae Ngat Dam

In the afternoon, return to the dam in a traditional Thai long-tail boat before a half-hour drive along scenic mountain passes to Bua Tong Waterfalls. These waterfalls are famously nicknamed “sticky waterfalls” because of calcified mountains, which become sticky due to running water, making them easy to climb. Children can act as “spider-man” as they climb the falls while you climb the adjacent path, or take off their shoes and have fun.

Gather the kids this morning and pack a picnic and snacks to begin a 1-hour private transfer west to Mae Wang District. Don’t forget to put on your hiking boots as you follow the trail down the northern side of Thailand’s highest mountain, Doi Inthanon. You’ll reach the first of many waterfalls in the area in less than an hour. It’s a great place to have lunch and play with the kids. After lunch, you can cool off in the small pool under the gentle falls and then continue your hike, past a small village, to another two-tiered waterfall, where you can relax and swim before the next part of your hike.

Doi Inthanon

The northern slopes are home to the hill tribe of the Karen people of Thailand. Here, you will also see people with distinct differences in their food, clothing, and language. Spend time learning about the Karen culture and way of life as you observe local village life and enjoy spectacular views across the valley. Then, return to Chiang Mai in the late afternoon for resting.
