Chiang Mai City Escape

Your journey begins with a warm welcome as you're whisked away to a cozy bungalow nestled in a local village. Here, you’ll be more than a visitor, you’ll be part of the community.

Join the locals for a laid-back morning of coffee exploration, visiting a charming countryside café and learning the full journey of a coffee bean, straight from the farm owner who tends the land. Then, enjoy a hearty bowl of noodle soup at a nearby restaurant, where the atmosphere is as authentic as the flavor.

In the evening, explore the nearby local market, filled with colorful produce and lively chatter. Join your hosts in a home-style cooking session, crafting simple northern Thai dishes together in their kitchen. End the day with full bellies and warm hearts, retreating to your bungalow for a peaceful night under the stars.

Awaken to birdsong and fresh mountain air. Lace up your shoes for a gentle 90-minute hike with a local guide through soft forest trails, no rush, just nature and stories to guide your way.

Later, take to the waters for a 45-minute boat ride across a tranquil lake, gliding past ancient trees while learning about the hidden history and legends of this peaceful place. For lunch, ascend to a mountaintop restaurant, where local flavors and sweeping views come together for a truly unforgettable meal.
