Chaing Mai is a popular district among tourists in Thailand. As with any destination to be a popular one among tourists, there has to be a range of things to do and see. Chiang Mai is one such place. Among the top things to do in Chiang Mai are both cultural as well as natural attractions and activities. Many hotels cater to the needs of the tourist and organise various tour packages and excursions to explore Chiang Mai. This makes it easier for the hotel guests than finding private tour operators. One such hotel that provides excursions to various Chiang Mai attractions is Anantara Chiang Mai Resort.
Wat Phra That in the Chiang Mai city overlooking the Doi Suthep mountain range is a must see when in Chiang Mai. Regarded as one of the most historically and spiritually important places in Thailand it is visited by both tourists and locals alike. It is believed to have originated 700 years ago. The structure of the wat is eye catching.
If you are interested in the wildlife then Chaing Mai zoo is a must do. The zoo spreads across 200 acres of land and is home to almost 400 species of animals. The views of the city from the zoo are also breathtaking.
Chiang Mai night safari is also something not to be missed. There are three animal zones namely, Savannah Safari, Predator Prowl, Jaguar Trail. They can be visited by foot or on open sided trams. There are also a whole load of other fun and exciting activities in this safari which has replicated the one in Singapore.
If you are interested in learning about the traditional lifestyles and the tribes of Chiang Mai a visit to Doi Pui Tribal Village and National park would not be a disappointment.
