Journey into the Vibrant Heart of Chiang Mai: A Colorful Bike Adventure
Embark on a captivating 4–5-hour journey through the southern reaches of Chiang Mai. Our scenic route winds along quiet, verdant land roads, unveiling hidden treasures and ancient relics of the past. We begin by traversing the historic settlement of Wiang Kum Kam, founded by King Mengrai in 1286 as the capital of the Lanna empire. Amidst the temple ruins and centuries-old architecture, immerse yourself in the fascinating tales of bygone eras. As we pedal onward, we pause to visit a local temple, where our knowledgeable guide sheds light on the intricacies of Buddhism and its significance in Thai culture. Our journey then leads us to the McKean rehabilitation center, once a leper colony secluded from the world. Today, it serves as a sanctuary for individuals with various physical disabilities, offering hope and support to those in need.
Continuing our exploration, we arrive at an elementary school attended primarily by hilltribe children, providing a glimpse into the diverse cultural tapestry of Chiang Mai. Delve further into the region's artistic legacy as we visit a traditional pottery workshop, witnessing skilled craftsmen shaping clay into exquisite works of art by hand. Cycling alongside the tranquil waters of the Ping River, we soak in the local ambiance that defines Chiang Mai's charm. A stop at a local bakery treats us to delectable, sweet buns, crafted with care by skilled hands. At the bustling market, we sample an array of exotic fruits and snacks, savoring the flavors of the region.
Throughout our journey, we pause every hour for a brief respite, providing refreshing drinks and snacks to keep you energized. Midway through the tour, we indulge in a sumptuous Thai meal, savoring the flavors of Khao Soy Kai in a cozy local restaurant.
