In the morning. We head to the west of Chiang Mai to explore morning life in Northern Thailand.  We stop at the foot of the Chiang Mai Hill to witness the daily ritual of Buddhist monks leaving the temples and walking among the local people to accept alms offerings.  You will experience how to make an alms offering to the monks also.  We then visit Doi Suthep temple, the most beautiful , famous and  landmark in Chiang Mai.  They say you have not truly been to Chiang Mai if you have not visited this temple !  At the top of the temple you can view the golden  pagoda, believed to enshrine the holy relics of the Lord Buddha, shining with real gold.  A viewing platform also offers panoramic views of Chiang Mai City.  After that we head to the North to visit tiger kingdom as a complimentary stop before the bamboo rafting or sticky waterfalls. Or you can do cycling or kayaking in unspoiled area instead . Just tell us in advance ).. Then  have  Thai food for   lunch.
