In the afternoon, hail one of Chiang Mai’s emblematic red taxi trucks — to get to Doi Suthep, the mountain towering over the city. The climb to the top culminates in views from Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, a gilded, hilltop Buddhist temple complex. Finish back in town with a late dinner at Midnight Fried Chicken, which dishes up poultry with distinctly northern Thai sides: sticky rice and two types of nam phrik .
Spend a final morning wandering Pratu Chiang Mai Market by the old south gate, including the outdoor section, where vendors sell produce in front of crumbling temple ruins. At lunchtime, stop off at Huen Jai Yong, outside the city proper. Located in and around a temple-like teak and stucco structure, ringed by rice fields, it serves northern Thai-style dips, soups and other homely dishes.
The owner of Khanom Jeen Pa Bun Sri on Thanon Talat Gao serves delicious khamon jeen, a staple dish in the region.Afterwards, take a taxi to Friends of the Asian Elephant Foundation Hospital, where there are no questionable shows or public feedings, but you can see elephants recovering from injuries. Finish up at the buzzy Evening Market, at the northern end of Ratsada Phisek Bridge, where you can find curries and other dishes bagged up and ready to take away.
