What people love about Chiang Mai Tours
- Northern Thailand Hilltribes Trek
Great trip! Cultural experience could not have been better. Authentic experience of the local live.
- Northern Thailand: Hilltribes & Villages
A fantastic trip exploring the northern villages of Chiang Mai. The hike / trek is HARD, even with some degree of fitness but so worth it! The home stay accommodations are very basic and there is no wifi but a digital detox is needed and you really get to bond with your group. I would definitely recommend this tour.
- 11 Day Tuk Tuk Adventure in Thailand - with driver!
If you have a spirit of adventure and want to see real Thailand then this is for you. Don't do half measures the 11 days is the one for you.
Best tour companies for Chiang Mai tours
From what our travelers tell us, both companies deliver solid Southeast Asian experiences but with some distinct differences worth noting. Realistic Asia gets consistent praise for organizing tours that run like clockwork - their guides know their stuff and handle all the little details that could otherwise cause stress. The company really shines when it comes to keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Prestigo Asia stands out for their thoughtfully planned itineraries and how well they keep in touch throughout the process. Their guides Dat and Lucie get mentioned often in the feedback, with travelers particularly impressed by their deep local knowledge and attention to detail. That said, it's worth mentioning a couple of small wrinkles. Some of our travelers have found the guide quality at Realistic Asia can vary depending on which tour you take. With Prestigo Asia, a few people mentioned the transportation could sometimes be on the slower side between locations. Both are solid choices overall - the small issues that came up didn't seem to seriously impact most people's trips. For travelers who really value consistent organization, Realistic Asia makes sense. If you're after a well-paced journey with guides who know their stuff really well, Prestigo Asia might be the better fit.

What can you experience culturally in Chiang Mai and where do you find these activities?
You'll love diving into Thai culture through a traditional Khantoke dinner where you can taste Northern Thai dishes while watching beautiful cultural performances from the ancient Lanna kingdom. These unique dinners happen at restaurants and venues all around Chiang Mai. Want to connect with Buddhist monks? Head to Chiang Mai University or local temples for fascinating "monk chats" where you'll learn about their daily lives and spiritual practices. If you're into cooking there are lots of hands-on classes where you'll learn to make dishes like Khao Soi they'll even take you to local markets to pick up fresh ingredients. Tea lovers should definitely check out Araksa Tea Garden in Mae Tang District where you can pick tea and see how Assam tea is made. For a really authentic experience try a homestay in a village like Aoi's you'll get to live like a local and enjoy a traditional Khantoke dinner with music and dancing.
Where are the natural areas around Chiang Mai and how do you get to them?
Doi Inthanon National Park is absolutely stunning it's got Thailand's highest peak and you can get there through tours or private transport. You've got to see the twin pagodas built for King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit's 60th birthdays and don't miss Wachirathan Waterfall. The Mae Klang Luang Nature Trail is fantastic you'll walk past coffee plantations rice paddies and the beautiful Pa Dok Siew Waterfall. Then there's Bua Tong National Park with its really cool "sticky waterfalls" where you can actually climb up and down the falls thanks to the limestone surface. You'll need your own vehicle to explore this one but it's totally worth it.
Which places in Chiang Mai are less crowded but still really special?
The Silver Pagoda (Wat Sri Suphan) is this amazing temple covered in intricate silver work and you won't find the usual crowds here. Wat Palad known as the "Temple below the Temple" is super interesting with 650 years of history to explore. Another hidden gem is Wat Umong from the 14th century it's got these mysterious tunnels and beautiful forested grounds. If you're up for a nature walk the Mae Klang Luang Nature Trail in Doi Inthanon National Park is less touristy and shows off everything from coffee plantations to rice paddies plus you'll get to see Pa Dok Siew Waterfall.
What are Chiang Mai's must-try local dishes and where should you eat them?
You absolutely have to try Khao Soi it's this incredible curry noodle soup with coconut cream and crispy noodles that's basically Chiang Mai's signature dish you'll find it all over the city. Then there's Sai Ua a really flavorful Northern Thai sausage best tried at Warorot Market or street food stalls. For a full Northern Thai experience go for a Khantoke dinner they serve up all sorts of local specialties. Krua Apsorn restaurant is great for dinner and don't miss trying fermented rice noodles at local spots. The Nimman area comes alive at night with markets and amazing street food definitely worth checking out.
