Chiang Mai Vacation Rentals

Ancient Chiang Mai is a walkable and laid-back place to recharge your battery. Take in the local culture, cuisine, and outdoor attractions, just steps from a vacation home. Opt for an inner-city condominium for the best jumping-off point.

Thai spice

Your condo may have a kitchen, and if you’re a cook, you’ll be tempted to use it. Chiang Mai has some of Thailand's best markets, and Talat Pratu tops the list. Pick up some local produce, or prepared foods if you prefer not to cook. After dark, the market transforms into a street food paradise.

If you're eager to take the flavors of Thailand home with you, try a cooking class. These culinary experiences include a market trip, kitchen instruction, and lovely meal. The Thai Farm Cooking School is top rated and grows its own ingredients.

City of temples

Chiang Mai is home to over thirty Buddhist temples, referred to as “wats.” The most revered, Wat Phra Singh, iboasts large mosaics and stunning grounds. This temple's main attraction, the Lion Buddha, is housed in a small chapel. Be sure not to miss it.

Wat Chedi Luang is among the city's oldest ruins. The temple complex is mostly outdoors and is best visited in the early morning. Daily "Monk Chat" programs give visitors a unique chance to converse with devotees in a casual setting.

Countryside adventures

A day trip to Chiang Rai province and its famous White Temple combines art and the great outdoors. This privately owned and truly original exhibit is one of Thailand's most photographed sites. For a real adventure, rent a motorcycle for the day and make it a road trip.

If you prefer a more natural experience, make your way to the Bua Thong Waterfalls. While rock climbing is the park's main attraction, it’s also popular for hiking and its hot springs.
