   This northern Thailand tour focuses on Chiang Mai and surrounding provinces over 10 days with cultural sites and natural areas. Major temples like Doi Suthep and Wat Chedi Luang are on the itinerary, plus day trips to Doi Inthanon National Park and hill tribe villages. The schedule includes a cooking class, night market visits, and time in the old city where you can walk to most temples. Mid-range hotels in Chiang Mai have good locations near the old city moat. Group size stays under 16 people, ages 8+, with a mix of guided activities and free time to walk around on your own. Total costs around $2,100 (roughly $210 per day) according to 100+ reviews. A full day at Doi Inthanon National Park covers waterfalls, the summit viewpoint, and the twin pagodas built for the king and queen. Hill tribe visits take you to Karen and Hmong villages where you can see traditional clothing and silver work. Your cooking class covers 5-6 Thai dishes at a school outside the city with a market tour first. At the elephant sanctuary, you'll feed and walk with elephants in a forested area (no riding). The night bazaar and Sunday walking street give you chances to try street food and buy local handicrafts. Transportation between sites uses an air-conditioned van, and your guide handles all the logistics for entrances and meals. The pace allows for morning activities and free afternoons several days so you can rest or walk around independently.
