Due to the fact that it...

Published on Nov, 2022

Due to the fact that it was a Monday and the arts & cultural center was closed, our guide took us to several craft businesses. The ruins were amazing, people were so welcoming. Loved the umbrella business. Pong was the perfect guide. She was very knowledgeable, entertaining and easy to talk to.

fascinating morning out to old Chiang Mai

Published on Nov, 2019

This is the site of an ancient city which was the capital before Chiang Mai (which our guide informed us) It was abandoned many years ago due to flooding as it was too close to the river side. The guide him was so full of information, we explored the fields that surround the current temple and see the many ruins of temples and other buildings. Makes a great day of exploration of the area. The temple is very beautiful and there is the opportunity to relax there at one of the cafes which we did. An interesting day out away from Chiang Mai city and I Asia staff were very helpful.
