Inside the old city, you will find lots of bars, restaurants, temples, shops, galleries, and many other fascinating things. If you walk around the circumference of the moat, it is only about 7km, and it is an excellent way to see things you would ordinarily miss.

You can take a taxi to the top of the mountain, where there is a temple that you can visit which gives majestic views of Chiang Mai. You will need to climb 309 steps to get to the top, but you can also take a funicular railway to the top if the climb is too much for you.

In the evening, if you are looking for lots of shopping, delicious food, a few drinks, and some entertainment, you will want to explore the Night Bazaar. You can wander around and see what is on offer, and even get a massage if you wish, and you can also enjoy a fish massage if you have not tried it before.
