Answer
While everyone knows about the famous temples, consider visiting the serene village of San Kamphaeng, where you can experience local crafts and hot springs without the crowds.
• Another great spot is the Huai Tueng Thao Lake, perfect for a picnic and a bit of relaxation away from the hustle and bustle.
Practical Chiang Mai planning note: Confirm current routes, fares, operating hours and pick-up arrangements before travelling. Build in extra time for traffic, weather and festival road closures, and keep the destination name or map pin available in Thai for drivers when practical.
