Such a fun trip! The waterfalls are a must do in Chiang Mai but Annie made the experience 10x better. She was super organized, really friendly and made the whole day feel easy and fun. The lunch she arranged was delicious too. Couldn't recommend this tour enough. Thank you Annie :)

This was actually my second time participating in a Klook activity, and the tour guide was the same one I had the first time. Because he is so friendly, thoughtful, and explains everything very clearly, and also has a great sense of humor, the entire trip was incredibly enjoyable! That's why I decided to join this activity a second time!

We had so much fun! I would strongly recommend this trip. Mr. K was our driver and guide for the trip. He is one of the highlights of the day. He guided us to the origin of the sticky waterfall. Then, we had lunch and headed to Zipline and ATV. This was the best activity I had in Chiang Mai. Thanks, Mr. K.

An amaIng experience. I booked for the 60 mins ATV which was the best thing ever. I booked the zipline when i was there since i wanted to check it out which i suggest you do, it was beautiful and fun. It was raining that day which made it 10x better on the ATV. The staff were friendly and precise with the safety gears. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Great 4.0
The whitewater rafting was thrilling; I recommend choosing the 10km option. The 6km one is probably less exciting and shorter. If you're joining a group, you'll have to wait for those doing the 10km, and we ended up waiting for almost an hour when we got back, which was a waste of time. The ATV experience was generally good. The food was very mediocre, but in that kind of place, it's good enough to just have something to eat.

This was a very impactful experience. Initially, I misunderstood the itinerary, and our guide, Koh, patiently explained everything to me until I understood. Afterward, to ensure a better experience for the entire group, and fearing the heat, Koh moved the bamboo rafting to be the first activity of the morning. Then came the main event, the ATV activity. As a petite woman, I found it a bit challenging to handle the ATV. Guide Koh kept looking back to check on me. He was very professional and incredibly patient, offering me a lot of encouragement! I'm truly super grateful! Additionally, I met two wonderful New Zealand female friends on this trip, which made the entire ATV experience even better! I hope Koh and they can see my sincere thanks! Instructor: Koh Safety: Excellent Experience: Absolutely amazing

We had so much fun at the ATV road trip! We'll definitely come back next time in Chiang Mai! We topped up for road trip. Tony our guide for the road trip was so attentive and friendly. He help as taking videos and many photos! All staff at this place are warm and helpful, from reception to restaurant staff. This activity is so highly recommended!

Fantastic 5.0
Our hotel was outside the Old Town area, but we booked this tour because it offered pickup over a wide range. We participated as a family of two adults and three children (ages 3, 8, and 11). We shared the ride with two other groups, but it was a smooth experience. The day before, we received a confirmation email letting us know which car would pick us up. The cooking portion was for two adults, and the children helped the adults cook or wandered around when they got bored, as there was a chicken coop and a large garden nearby. The children received a set meal that included drinks, a rice plate similar to fried rice, and a mango with sweet sticky rice plate. The two adult portions we cooked were quite substantial, and our family was full after sharing them with the children. Other group members also shared one adult portion between two people. The assistants received the same menu as our children, and the quantity seemed sufficient. We adults each wanted to cook our own dishes, so we requested that, but some people took turns cooking, which might be a good option for couples. The instructor was kind and very easy to understand, even showing consideration for our children. The venue was truly stress-free and allowed us to relax. The food was delicious, the environment was pleasant, and our family of five thoroughly enjoyed it.

What to know before visiting Chiang Mai Province

Things to Do in Chiang Mai

Night Bazaar

You can explore the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar for handmade goods, snacks, and easy evening walks. Many travelers come here for street food, small shops, and a relaxed night out. It’s one of the most visited attractions in Chiang Mai.

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep

You can ride up the mountain to visit Wat Phra That Doi Suthep by songthaew (red truck) or taxi from the city center. The temple is known for its views over central Chiang Mai. You can also climb the long staircase if you prefer, with detailed steps and gold details along the way.

Wat Phra Singh

Walk through Wat Phra Singh to see its halls and quiet corners. It's one of the most respected temples in Northern Thailand.

Wat Chedi Luang

Visit Wat Chedi Luang to see its large ancient structure in the middle of the city. The grounds are open for walking, and monk chat programs sometimes take place here.

Living Green Elephant Sanctuary

You can spend a peaceful half day learning about rescued elephants at the Living Green Elephant Sanctuary. You can feed them, walk with guides, and enjoy a slow, thoughtful visit.

Get your Living Green Elephant Sanctuary tickets through Klook ahead of time to make your trip easy!

Wua Lai Road

Enjoy food stalls, crafts, and music along Wua Lai Road on Saturday nights. You can try dishes like pad thai, northern Thai sausage, or vegetarian khao soi.

Tips before visiting Chiang Mai

1. Plan for the weather

Chiang Mai can be warm during the day, especially in March and April. Bring light clothes, drink water, and rest indoors if the sun feels strong. (Klook tip: You can walk into coffee shops or food courts to cool off.)

2. Visit temples with proper clothing

In most temples, you'll be asked to cover your shoulders and knees. Make sure to bring a light scarf or long shorts that work well. This will help you feel comfortable during longer walks.

3. Try local food with an open mind

Street markets offer dishes like khao soi, sticky rice, and northern Thai sausage. You can try small portions first if you’re unsure. Fresh produce and all the tropical fruits are also easy to find at local markets.

4. Learn simple transport options

Red trucks, taxis, and app-based rides like Grab will make moving around easy. Chiang Mai International Airport is close to the city, so transfers are quick. You can also rent a bike if you want to explore central Chiang Mai at your own pace.

5. Bring cash for markets

Many food stalls and small vendors prefer Thai baht rather than cards. Make sure to keep small bills for snacks, drinks, and simple gifts. This will make your visit to night markets and street markets smoother.
