6 EXPLORE IN CHIANG MAI Post TropOut: 9-13 April 2016 (4 nights) The City Chiang Mai is northern Thailand s largest city, and is over 700 years old and is revered for its moats and majestic temples. The temple of What Phra Singh is famous for its Lunnastyle architecture, beautiful wood carvings and superb murals. Nearby is the ageless Wat Chedi Luang, which lost the top of its massive chedi to an earthquake some 400 years ago. And Doi Suthep Mountain, which looms over the city, and contains an esteemed temple at its peak, offers splendid views of the surrounding countryside. But Chiang Mai is more than just temples: elephant lovers may wish to head to Mae Taeng to meet these gracious animals, and the adventurous may wish to travel to Doi Inthanon National Park, home to Thailand s highest peak, and which provides trekking opportunities amid wonderful scenery, plummeting waterfalls and a great variety of bird life. During our stay, we will be lucky enough to experience the beginning of the Songkran Water Festival- which commemorates the Thai New Year. In Thai culture, at the turn of the newyear it is traditional to pour water as a symbol of washing away one s sins. And Chiang Mai washes away the sins of its inhabitants with gusto- expect to get wet: this is one mighty and fun mass water fight and an experience you ll never forget! Your Experience Day 1- Phuket to Chiang Mai You will be transferred from Angsana Laguna Phuket to Phuket International Airport to take your domestic flight to Chiang Mai. Upon your arrival in Chiang Mai, our guides will greet you and transfer you to your hotel, the Puripunn Baby Grand Boutique Hotel. The afternoon and evening is yours to enjoy at your leisure.

7 Day 2- Temples and Elephants After breakfast in your hotel, our guides will collect you to lead you on a tour of Chiang Mai to introduce you to its charming culture and sights. We will first visit the 600 year-old temple of Wat Pra That Doi Suthep. The final climb to the temple is via a magnificent Naga (dragon-headed serpent) staircase of 306 steps. Inside is an intriguing copperplated chedi topped by a five-tier gold umbrella which contains partial relics of Lord Buddha. On a clear day there are incomparable views over the city of Chiang Mai. Other temples we will visit include: Wat Suan Dok, whose large central stupa contains the ashes of Chiang Mai s Royal Family; Wat Chedi Luang, where the Emerald Buddha was once enshrined; and Wat Phra Singh, which houses a very sacred 1,500 year-old Buddha image. Lunch will be served in an orchid farm, before the afternoon s program commences. A pleasant afternoon is spent in the company of elephants, these magnificent gentle giants, which are the national animal of Thailand and greatly revered. Afterwards we visit a Meo hill tribe community to casually observe a simple way of life that continues to this day. We will return to your hotel at around 18:00. Day 3- Your day, your way Today is a free day for you to explore in Chiang Mai. Please feel free to contact us so that we can plan your day, your way. Day 4- Time to get wet!
