Now that we can re-enter Chiang Mai again, how about a short drive to Chiang Dao?
This city is quiet, relaxing, surrounded by beautiful nature and so green at this time of the year. Plus, it is less than an hour drive from Chiang Mai.
Places to see in Chiang Dao include Chiang Dao Caves, hot springs plus some delicious restaurants (sea food and burgers).
Not only are the caves interesting to visit, but the surrounding temple is very intriguing with a chedi dating back from a fifty to sixty years and another chedi with eight giant Buddhas.

Restaurants not to be missed in Chiang Dao include:
