Top 10 Fun Things To Do in Chiang Mai, Thailand

The most popular and busiest night market of them all is the Sunday (Walking St.) Market, which as the name goes, only happens on Sundays from 4PM till midnight. It is a stretch from Tha Phae Gate all the way down to Rachadamnoen Road (the pale blue line on the map; inside the square/old city) filled with hawker shops that sell VERY cheap stuff.

If eating is not enough, then why not try and learn how to make some popular Thai food dishes, right? I suggest that you try taking a cooking class from a local.

Nevertheless, you can still enjoy the company of Thailand’s elephants through legitimate and ethical sanctuaries such as that of the Elephant Nature Park. As a park, they aim to protect and care for mistreated elephants that have been rescued from logging and tourism companies. They don’t do rides or tricks on the elephants, but you can be with them through walks, feeding, bathing time, and even during plays in the mud.
