Chiang Mai, day by day

Chiang Mai is a 700-year-old walled city of teak temples inside a moat, with a golden mountain temple above it, night markets, khao soi noodles and, an hour into the hills, elephants that no longer work. Start with three days that walk the old city, climb Doi Suthep and spend a day with the elephants, with the prices and hours the institutions publish for 2026.
