What to do and see in Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai Province: The Best Hidden Gems Things to do

June 23, 2021 Layne Dawes

You could spend your whole Chiang Mai vacation exploring the famous Night Bazaar. Once you’ve exhausted the art of the cheerful haggle, however, there’s plenty more to explore. The National Museum and Botanic Garden are great places to soak up some local culture and to breathe in the delicate fragrance of Thai orchids. In the city’s center, the remains of ancient walls embrace over 30 temples. Limber travelers can climb 300 stairs to Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, an ornate Buddhist temple in the hills.

Came with a Contiki tour group, and we absolutely loved our cooking class experience at this beautiful, serene spot! The chef was hilarious and made things fun & easy for us — literally beginners will he able to come out with delicious food on their plates! We made Tom yum soup, pad Thai (one of the best I’ve ever had!!), chicken panang curry, cashew chicken stir fry, & coconut + mango sticky rice. SO MUCH GOOD FOOD ; highly recommend if you have time during your Thailand visit! :)

I visited Mr. Win with my husband who purchased the buy 5 get 1 free shirt deal and they are the best shirts I have ever seen him wear. My husband hates to shop but this was a painless experience and the shirts were packed tightly so they fit easily in a suitcase. My husband wants to return for suits and I want to get some custom dresses made.

There are tons of cooking schools so we chose this one based on a recommend from our hotel and we weren’t disappointed. Prompt pick-up at the hotel and started with a tour of a local market (veg, meat and fish). The school is set in a lovely location, old teak house in excellent gardens with superb facilities for up to 12 ‘students’. Our teacher, Yam, was very friendly and knowledgable with very good English. She demonstrated the dishes and then we cooked them while she supervised and taught us lots of really useful tricks of the trade. There’s a different menu each day so you can choose which you prefer as you get to eat it for your lunch. A great experience for foodies!
