Chiang Mai temples by bike

A loop through the old city and the temples outside the walls.

The old city of Chiang Mai is flat, small and full of temples. A bike is the perfect way to see it.

Getting there

Night trains and short flights connect Chiang Mai to Bangkok.

Where to stay

A guesthouse inside the old walls.

What I would do differently

I would cycle early. By noon the heat makes every temple feel far.

Prices in this guide are what I paid. They move every season, so use them as a rough guide.
