Priced at $740 round trip. The route covers 16,085 miles round trip.
Chiang Mai, set amid the green foothills of northern Thailand, draws travelers with its mix of historic charm, mountain scenery, and a slower pace than Bangkok or the southern beach resorts. The old city is ringed by remnants of its ancient walls and moat, and within it you’ll find some of the country’s most atmospheric temples, including Wat Phra Singh and Wat Chedi Luang. Beyond the center, the city’s appeal broadens into lively markets, leafy cafés, artisan studios, and easy access to day trips for trekking, waterfalls, and hill-tribe villages, making it a strong choice for both culture-focused and outdoors-minded visitors.
The best time to visit is generally from November to February, when temperatures are cooler and skies are often clearer, ideal for sightseeing and exploring on foot. The hot season runs from roughly March to May, while the rainy season from June to October brings heavier showers but also lush landscapes and fewer crowds. Food is another major draw: Chiang Mai is known for northern Thai specialties such as khao soi, a rich coconut curry noodle soup, along with sai ua sausage, sticky rice, and a vibrant street-food scene. Neighborhoods like the Old City, Nimmanhaemin, and the riverside each offer a different mood, from heritage and temples to modern dining and nightlife, giving the city broad appeal for a first visit or a longer stay.
