2. Pha Chor
Beautiful cliff of Chiang Mai.
Prepare sun protection gears and camera to visit the view at the beautiful cliff of Chiang Mai. We want to visit this place many times but the hot sun was too strong for us so, prepare your sun protection gear and strong body to walk through the forest to the cliff. About 600 meters from the car park.
The cliff was from the water scouring from times to times and the erosion happen to be a cliff with the million worth view. You can see the beauty of the forest through the cliff. As for me, I would say the forest is the true beauty but the view at the cliff was worth the visit!

Open every day from 8.30 am – 4.30 pm.
3. Kao Mai Lanna Resort
Green and all-natural resort hotel.
If you looking for the resort hotel to rest both your mind and body we would like to recommend this place. When we arrived we saw the big trees from afar like the word ‘Kao Mai’ it means a big tree so you can see many big trees surround this hotel.
Not too hot to relax. You can chill at the café or walking for a natural tour around the hotel. The vintage but not too chubby wood shacks were clean and warm for your best experience.

4. Grand Canyon
Visit Thailand’s grand canyon at Chiang Mai.
Actually this place was personal area until they had found the big canal underneath similar to Grand canyon. Most of the visitors are foreigners. We saw them jump down to the big canal so we would like to be careful and do not jump to the canal because it is REAL DEEP and we don’t want you to get in danger.

Mystery temple hiding in the tunnel.
Normally, we would see the Buddha statue inside the pagoda but, not for this temple because you have to go through the tunnel!
Around the tunnel and outside the tunnel you will see the big trees around. You would get the good views from the tunnel and outside the tunnel. Take a deep breath and ease out your stress in the calm place hidden in the forest.
Even this place is hidden but it’s not hard to find because this place is not far from the town. You may take a red bus or drive here by yourself.

7. Studio Naenna
Welcome to plentiful studio!
Not before long ago we have been interested in color dye techniques and have collected the list of the professional original dye places and schools for a while and we decided to visit here.
Meet Patricia, the owner of this place who has a strong passion for Thailand’s original color dye technique. This proved that even you are not Thai you could still be an expert in this area too.
Plenty of dye techniques and many kinds of cloth for you to try them on. However, it was unfortunate for us that there was no indigo tree to extract the color so, you may ask certain information beforehand.

8. In Clay Studio
What this is like to use your own work in your everyday life? like, sipping the coffee from the clay mug that was done by your own hands. We have been here since there was no house in front of the workshop factory. This place feels more homie when you walk through the owner’s house to the factory-like you were visiting your friend’s house.
You could take a clay workshop course from here but, if you want to buy the clay works there is a clay work store in Nimmann road at the town with many collections of clay work housewares.

10. Jibberish
The wonder house fill with the cutie things!
The little store near Royal Park Rajapruek on the way to Doi Kham pagoda. We happen to saw this little store by chance because it was hard to notice the cute store in the middle of the road like it was a wonderful house.
However, when we were in the entrance we nearly scream from the cuteness! We had to ring the doorbell and waited for the owner to welcome us to the store. Inside this little store had many kinds of cutie stuff for you and we knew that you have to buy one of two things from this store because we also could not stop ourselves!
Brace yourself for the cuteness of this store. If you are into the cutie stuff you would love this little store for sure!
