The former seat of the Lanna kingdom is a blissfully calm and laid-back place to relax and recharge your batteries. Participate in a vast array of activities, or just stroll around the backstreets, and discover a city that is still firmly Thai in its atmosphere and attitude.
Young backpackers flock to Chiang Mai for its laid-back vibe, ethical elephant sanctuaries, and night markets teeming with northern Thai dishes. They also praise the city’s wealth of cafés and co-working spaces. Voyista has tried those same experiences firsthand, ensuring we can guide you to the best elephant experiences (truly ethical only) and secret local hangouts. We simplify onward travel—like flights to Bangkok or buses to Pai—making your entire Thai itinerary smooth and hassle-free.
