Stop At: Chae Son National Park, near Elephant Conservation Center, Lampang Thailand
An early departure from your booked Chiang Mai hotel commences with being welcomed by your guide and driver for the day. The leisurely drive in a southern direction into the Lampang province will take approximately 2 hours as we head towards the Chae Son National Park, one of the more mountainous forest regions in the far northeastern corner of the province. The main area for walks lies between the Muang Bahn and Jae Hom districts and covers an area of over 590 square kilometres with ample well-laid out paths and trails for a refreshing trip.
Not only tourism benefits from this: protection of its water sources are on the forefront of conservation initiatives as it serves as the main source for providing water for the villages surrounding the park.
Your guide will lead the way and showing you why this national park, with its caves, waterfalls and hot springs, is such a treat for the avid hiking and trekking enthusiast.

Stop At: Wat Phra Bat Pupha Daeng, Chae Hom 52120 Thailand
After our hike, we head over to a local restaurant before moving on deeper into the Jae Hom district to admire one of Thailand less-known but stunning mountain temples, called Wat Phar Phu Dang. Perched on the edge of a mountain, constructed 700 meters above sea level and offering 360-degree vistas after reaching the top of the temple, this will be a highlight of your Thailand visit. The challenge to reach the top of Wat Phar Phu Dang requires a good physical condition as the climb up via the three main parts (part driving and part via a 500-meter steep climb via a very steep staircase) is quite challenging. Slowly making your way back to the base of the temple will be the final activity on this adventure-filled day before heading back to Chiang Mai and your booked hotel.
