Due to its mountain location, Chiang Mai is surrounded by beautiful national parks and jungles with caves and waterfalls. Hiking, climbing, kayaking and white water rafting, sightseeing tours, cooking classes and cultural exchange programs are all a part of many things you can do in Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is the only place in Thailand where you can interact with elephants cruelty-free, as there are numerous elephant rescue centres and volunteer parks located here.
