In the morning, we head to the south of Chiang Mai to explore the tranquil temple sites scattered around the Lost City. Chiang Mai was originally built here in the 11th century but the ancient city was forgotten after being flooded and hidden underground for hundreds of years. There are over 20 ancient temple sites in the lost city. We then head to Doi Inthanon National Park which encompasses the highest mountain in Chiang Mai. We visit the Diamond Waterfall and Padok Seaw Waterfall, with their beauty derived from the white water formed when the water hits the large rocks below. We also visit a Hmong hill tribe market where we teach you bargaining skills the Thai way. After that we drive up to the summit of Doi inthanona national park to visit twin pagoda-s ( King and queen pagoda-s ) before we visit the summit or the roof of Thailand to enjoy the rush rainforest and wooden trials around the peak. In the afternoon we do a gentle downhill hike for 1:50 hours on a wonderful nature trail; in places it is so beautiful like a dream, as we follow the streams and waterfalls to a Karen hill tribe village (Not the long neck Karen,This is another Karen tribe group). Here we will experience their culture and their way of their life as well as trying their locally grown mountain coffee. Visiting the hill tribe village is very fascinating! To end the day we drop by a local market to experience the real Thai life (no tourists here) before we return you to your hotel.
