The leafy village of Chompoo, sits around 20 minutes out of Chiang Mai, off Highway 11, and is a beautiful place to visit, with its large village ’square’ centred around the small but delightful, Wat PayaChompoo.
In the future I will try and get more information on its history, but this will involve some time [...]

Here’s yet another great day out for you. Quite a special one with lots of historical and cultural interest. We tend to start these days out at around 11am, due to business commitments, but if you were to set off a little earlier you’d give yourself even more time to take it all in.[...]

Guarding Chiang Mai City and out lying areas, sitting near the top of the mountain, Doi Suthep, is this beautiful Temple complex with the best view over Chiang Mai that you are likely to find.

Yet another Wat located along Sri Poom, the top moat road , on the outside of the Old City, Chiang Mai;

Wat Maor Kam Dtuang is easy to locate, just look out for the shimmering shiney walls that mark its border with the pathway.

So, you fancy a day out that won’t cost alot, a nice ride out on your motorcy? Try this one.
