If the great outdoors is more your speed, the mountainous area surrounding Chiang Mai is lush and green and offers plenty of outdoor adventure, from elephant rides to river rafting. Visitors to the Chiang Mai region typically head out on multi-day hikes, which often involve roughing it, but there are also some exceptionally beautiful luxury resorts for those who want to indulge.
Where to Stay
Within the city of Chiang Mai there are more and more small boutique hotels and resorts opening every year. On the less-expensive end, 3 Sis Bed & Breakfast is an excellent choice. It's very pretty, very well maintained and is just around the corner from some of the city's most important temples. Tamarind Village, right in the center of Chiang Mai, is the only luxury resort in the old part of the city. Outside of the city, there are a few very romantic, very beautiful and very expensive resorts, including the Chiang Mai Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi and the Golden Triangle Anantara in Chiang Rai.
