The people of Chiang Mai love their food and enjoy their leisure to the full. With Jungle Trekking, White Water Rafting, Elephant Riding and a whole
range of adrenalin pumping sports available, you will always find something different and exciting to do.
In the evenings, for the young at heart, there are many Bars & Nightclubs and if you're in the mood for a sing-along you can be the star attraction at a Karaoke Bar , but for something a little less strenuous why not enjoy a typical Northern Thai meal while watching a display of exotic Lanna Thai Classical Dancing at one of the city's Khantoke restaurants.
As a change from sightseeing you might like to attend one of the many courses available. Perhaps take a Thai Cookery Class and impress your friends back home with your culinary expertise or even learn the art of Thai massage.
At the end of a tiring day you might feel in need of a Thai Massage or you can indulge yourself at one of the citys many luxurious Spas.
Elephants helped to build Chiang Mai and today they can still be seen at work in the forests and on the hillsides around the city. Some of the Elephant Camps have
a show where you can watch the elephants at work and play. A visit to the Zoo makes an exciting day out for the children and they can meet the Zoo's two VIP residents, the Giant Pandas. With Orchid Farms, Snake Reserves and a Monkey Centre all within easy reach of the city there is no shortage of entertainment.
There are fabulous Temples , several Museums, a Night Safari and if shopping is your pleasure there are Handicraft Centres and the famous Night Bazaar to explore.
