Your half-day tour of Chiang Mai takes you on a memorable and informative journey by the Ping River, local temples, busy markets, and to the ancient city of Wiang Kum Kam. Along the way, get a look at the Pupia and Chedi Liam temples with your guide.

Your morning begins with a leisurely ride along the banks of Ping River. While you pass busy locals, temples, and markets, your guide shares insight about Thai culture. Appreciate the sights of colonial, white buildings which include a church and a hospital. As you pedal by the riverbank, observe the techniques of skilled fishermen before you take a break on a grassy plain to savor fresh fruits and drinks.
