Things to do with kids in Chiang Mai
Often considered more child friendly than Bangkok, Chiang Mai thoroughly embodies the Thai national way of life, 'Sanuk' (fun), through its relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, its slower pace and abundance of outdoor activities. Parks, temples and animal sanctuaries are all on offer in this unforgettable destination, and families are sure to have a wonderful stay.
Among the highlights, parents can take their kids to the Blue Daily Elephant Care Sanctuary, where they can feed and walk with elephants who are well cared for, or play under a waterfalls in the majestic Doi Suthep-Pui National Park. However, kids should apply plenty of sunscreen and wear a sunhat, as the temperatures in Chiang Mai can be searing.
