Sightseeing in Chiang Mai

Sightseeing routes out of Chiang Mai head north, towards the borders with Myanmar and Laos. The base 11-hour day at 46 dollars gathers three unusual temples of Chiang Rai province: the white Wat Rong Khun, where a bridge over a sculpted scene leads to the main hall, the Baan Dam Black House with its collection of wood, bone and hides, and the Blue Temple Wat Rong Suea Ten with its cobalt murals.

From there the route builds up. For 53 dollars the same three stops gain the Golden Triangle — the point where Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet — stretching the day to twelve hours. The 62-dollar version runs fourteen hours with one more stop, while a ten-hour Chiang Rai variant adds a boat ride on the river. A separate line is Doi Inthanon, the country's highest peak: ten hours of waterfalls, a summit forest trail and two pagodas on the slope.
