Planning a trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand? After spending several weeks living here as a family, these are the experiences we genuinely loved and would 100% do again. From local markets and ancient temples to an ethical elephant sanctuary and a sunrise above the city.
In this video we wander through the incredible food and local atmosphere at Jing Jai Market, explore beautiful temples throughout the Chiang Mai Old City, and wake up early to watch sunrise at the iconic Wat Phra That Doi Suthep overlooking the city.
One of the biggest highlights was spending time with rescued elephants at Joy Elephant Sanctuary, an ethical sanctuary focused on animal welfare and education, which made the experience even more meaningful for us.
This isnβt a fast-paced travel guide, just the experiences weβd personally 100% do again if we returned to Chiang Mai.
If youβre wondering what to do in Chiang Mai, travelling with kids, or planning a slower Thailand itinerary, we hope this helps you decide whatβs truly worth your time.

Thank you for coming to Jing Jai Market ka π₯°β€οΈ
Hugo is such a character. As an educator, I firmly believe that what you guys ( Jason & Sian ) are doing for him is immeasurably more valuable than any traditional school could provide. I wish I could take some of my students and do what you are doing as a family.
Sheesh, you guys are all flipping killing it! It is so enjoyable to watch, and we can feel your love, joy, & passion emanating through. Hugo is immensely blessed to have wise parents like you guys, and of course, you're immensely blessed to have him & each other.
Love your video welcome to Thailand
Welcome to Thailand! I would be very happy if the little one could play with water during the Songkran festivalπ₯°
