Chiang Mai Couples Escape: Countryside Biking & Chiang Rai Temples

After breakfast, get ready for a full day cycling through Chiang Mai's rural landscapes on quiet backroads.

Your route takes you through rice paddies, bamboo groves, traditional wooden villages, and local farms well off the tourist trail.

Stop at a local village to meet residents, see traditional cottage industries, and witness rural northern Thai life.

We’ll take a break for lunch at a local spot along the route before continuing through more countryside scenery.

After the biking experience, return to Chiang Mai by late afternoon and spend the evening at leisure.

You can head to the Riverside area for dinner; the stretch along the Ping River has some of Chiang Mai's best restaurants and live music spots.

Overnight stay in Chiang Mai.

Enjoy your breakfast and head out for a half-day Elephant Sanctuary tour.

Observe rescued elephants roaming freely across open land, feeding, bathing, and socialising in their natural habitat.

Spend some time learning about the sanctuary's conservation work and what it actually takes to rehabilitate these animals.

In the afternoon, we’ll visit a waterfall in the forested hills surrounding Chiang Mai, a cool, quiet contrast to the morning.

Take a dip in the natural pool at the base, walk the surrounding forest trail, or simply sit and enjoy the sound of the falls.

Later, return to Chiang Mai by evening and spend the rest of the time at leisure.

You may try Khao Soi, Chiang Mai's signature coconut curry noodle soup at one of the old city's most loved local restaurants.

After a hearty breakfast, board your transfer for a full day Chiang Rai temple tour.

We’ll begin at Wat Rong Khun, the famous White Temple, a masterpiece covered in white plaster and mirror glass, reflecting light in every direction.

It's one of the most visually striking temples in all of Asia and unlike anything else on this Chiang Mai tour.

Continue to Wat Rong Suea Ten, the Blue Temple, a vivid cobalt-blue shrine that's far less crowded than the White Temple but equally spectacular inside.

Later, head to the Golden Triangle, the historic junction where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet at the Mekong River.

Visit the Hall of Opium museum for a fascinating look at the region's complex history.

After an enriching experience, board your return transfer to the hotel by evening.

Start your day with a tasty breakfast and get ready for a cultural day trip in Chiang Mai.

We’ll head up into the hills above Chiang Mai to visit Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, the city's most sacred temple.

Climb the 306-step Naga staircase to reach the golden chedi at the summit, one of northern Thailand's most revered religious sites.

Later, continue to Hmong hill-tribe village, one of the indigenous communities that have lived in northern Thailand's highlands for generations.

Walk through the village, browse handmade textiles and jewellery, and get an authentic glimpse into a way of life that exists well outside the city.

Return to Chiang Mai in the afternoon and spend your final evening at leisure.

You may explore Chiang Mai Night Bazaar for some shopping, street food, and cold drinks.
