Cool Air and Old Temples

Chiang Mai

The north is slower, greener and several degrees cooler. Temples, night markets and ethical elephant sanctuaries.

Best time
November to February
Ideal length
2 to 3 nights

Chiang Mai is the antidote to the beaches. It sits in the hills, so the evenings are genuinely cool, and the old city is walkable. If elephants are on your list, this is where to do it properly at a sanctuary rather than a riding camp.
