Overview
Cycle: Sabai, Sabai is Thai for being chilled out. On the way towards Chiang Mai’s old city eastern gate, Thapae Gate, we'll cycle the old city’s quaint lanes. At this beautifully restored gate learn about Chiang Mai's history as a trading hub.
* Three Kings Monument and Wat Inthakin: Pedaling the twisting streets of the old city the next stop is Wat Intakhin with its serene 700 hundred-year-old white Buddha and the Three Kings Monument where you will hear about Chiang Mai’s found fathers.
* Wat Lok Molee: Cycle to the city moat. Leaving the bikes by the side of the moat, walk across to Wat Lok Molee with its beautifully illuminated stupa and ornate wooden prayer hall. At this time of day you have a good chance of hearing the monks chanting their prayers.
* Wat Chedi Luang: The next stop is Chiang Mai’s grandest monument. Wat Chedi Luang was built to house the ashes of a king and was once the home of the Emerald Buddha (now resident at Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok). It is now the home of the City Pillar and 3 auspicious trees which provide protection to the city. *Street Food at Chiang Mai Gate Market: For the last stop a little food tour of the Chiang Mai Gate Market. Walking through the market your guide with point out the different types of street food available. After selecting a some street food to sample sit down with a drink with your guide and enjoy the night market atmosphere.
* Return to the Grasshopper Adventures Bike shop: It is really just hop, skip and jump from the Chiang Mai Gate Market to the Grasshopper Shop, but we will ride our bikes anyway. After finishing the tour you can always go back to the market to explore more of the street food delicacies. The tour usually takes 3-4 hours but this is variable by group. Dinner is not included in the tour but we do include some fun and tasty snacks in little food tour at Chiang Mai Gate Market. We are usually back at the DiscovaGo bike shop by 10 pm.
Cycle the quiet lanes and alleys of Chiang Mai's old city, visiting the most famous sights after dark and free of crowds. See illuminated temples, hear the chanting of the monks and end the tour with a sampling of street food.
