Top Must-Visit Attractions in Your Chiang Mai Tour Package

Here are some must-visit sites that you cannot miss in our Chiang Mai tour package:
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep
Did you even go to Chiang Mai if you didn’t visit Wat Phra That Doi Suthep? One of the most venerated temples of the Northern Lanna, Wat Phra, has gilded architecture influenced by Burmese and Sri Lankan designs. A 306 Naga staircase and seven-headed serpent figures set it apart.

Well, shopping and eating aren’t the only things; you can enjoy street performances, live music, dance, and more.
The Phae Gate and Old City
The Phae Gate is the most iconic eastern entrance to the historical Old City, made of an ancient brick gate, and is now a major gathering hotspot of vibrant festivals and events. It’s a bustling area for lively performances, authentic Thai street food, art galleries, and temples.

Best Time to Plan Your Chiang Mai Holiday
The ideal time to plan your Chiang Mai holiday is generally from November to February as the weather is pleasant, offering ample time and opportunity for a comprehensive exploration. However, there can be more crowd and higher prices during this duration.
Here’s a complete weather guide:
This season is ideal, as you can expect chilly and dry weather. Get a chance to be part of Yi Peng (sky lanterns festival) and Loy Krathong (water lanterns), where thousands of lanterns are released into the sky in November.
You can enjoy temple hopping, Thai cooking classes, waterfalls, night safaris, national parks, and elephant sanctuaries during this period, but be prepared for hot weather.
Not recommended, as it can interrupt your plans. This season is not ideal for exploring waterfalls and many other adventures.
Visa Requirements & Process for Indian Travellers
Thailand is one of the most widely visited places by tourists. The best part is that Indians get a visa exemption, that is, a visa-free entry to Thailand, for up to 60 days, which is ideal for short visits and tourism purposes.
Alternatively, Indians preferring a visa can get a Visa-on-Arrival (VoA), which should be applied for beforehand.
Important Note: Both Visa-on-Approval and Visa-Free entry require the completion of the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) at least 3 days before the date of arrival.
Here’s a step-by-step guide for your visa application:
Go to the official visa portal and begin your application process for entry.
Fill in the required information in the online Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) form. This is a mandatory requirement for all travelers and should be applied for at least 3 days before the date of arrival.
If your stay exceeds 60 days or is for non-tourism purposes, visit the Thailand visa website. Fill the online form and upload the required documents (Proof of funds, accommodation, flight tickets, TDAC, and passport).
Complete the payment for your e-visa after approval; note that the standard 60-day tourist entry is currently fee-exempt for Indians.
Get a digital and a clear printed copy of your TDAC and e-visa (if applicable) to present to immigration officers upon arrival.
