Near Doi Ang Khang
Doi Chiang Dao 55 km
A 2,175 metre limestone peak in Chiang Dao district, north of Chiang Mai, and one of the highest in the Daen Lao range on the Thai side of the border. Its sheer, lone summit rises high above the farmland of the valley below.
Doi Mae Salong 68 km
A hill in the Daen Lao range, 6 km from the Burmese border, with the town of Santikhiri strung along its ridge. The town was settled by Chinese families who came over from Burma in 1961, and the slopes around it are planted with tea.
Wat Rong Khun 74 km
A dazzling white work of art in the form of a Buddhist temple, its walls set with mirror glass that glitters in the sun. The artist Chalermchai Kositpipat designed and built it himself and opened it in 1997, and he is still adding to it.
Elephant Nature Park 76 km
A sanctuary and rescue centre for elephants in Mae Taeng district, about 60 km from Chiang Mai, co-founded by Sangduen 'Lek' Chailert. Rescued elephants live here in small herds, and visitors watch them feed and bathe in the river rather than ride them.
Wat Rong Suea Ten 82 km
A modern wat on the edge of Chiang Rai painted a deep sapphire blue, picked out in gold. Inside, a white Buddha sits against the blue walls, and the name means the house of the dancing tiger.
Baan Dam Museum 85 km
The artist Thawan Duchanee's private museum: a cluster of dark northern Thai houses and stranger buildings filled with horns, skins, bones and his own work. It is the brooding counterpart to Chiang Rai's White Temple.
Pai 86 km
A small town on the Pai River in Mae Hong Son, about 146 kilometres from Chiang Mai along a famously winding mountain road. Its valley of rice fields, hot springs and walking streets has made it a favourite stop for backpackers.
Tham Lot 88 km
A limestone cave near Soppong in Mae Hong Son, 1,666 metres long, with the Nam Lang river flowing right through it past stalactites, columns and flowstone. Its chambers hold ancient teak coffins, and swiftlets and bats stream in and out at dusk.
