 Cities 4 Hours from Chiang Mai


A 4-hour drive from Chiang Rai lies Nan and Sukhothai. The names that once evoked scenes of rural villages hidden among undulating mountains and the iconic ruins of the former Siamese capital. While its raw beauty remains, enough development has reached these northern cities nowadays. Now it has become easier than ever to explore the laid-back old town, tiny but culturally rich villages, vast rice fields, and staggering ancient ruins. An overnight stay there is definitely recommended!

 A Local's Take on the Best Places Near Chiang Mai: TakeMeTour's Review 


 Chiang Mai has always been a big hit for all sorts of travelers, but only a few continue their visit to travel into the surrounding lush hills and lovely nature. Even fewer visit the charming neighboring cities of Nan, Lampang, and Lamphun (to name a few), all of which have an even older history than Chiang Mai. The area of northern Thailand offers an incredible range of amazing destinations. Other than the jungles and pristine waterfalls, mountain trekking is also a widely enjoyed activity for those who like a little adventure. What’s more, small villages are filled with locals who live a life far differently than Thais living in big cities. With so many marvelous things to see and do, why not break away and get off the beaten track? Let’s experience northern Thailand the way the locals see it by checking out our selected day trips below!  

If these are not exactly what you're looking for, remember that Chiang Mai can still fit the bill for every type of traveler. Discover more of Chiang Mai right here below!
