2.Chiang Dao Cave & 5 Hill Tribe villages

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 181 reviews · from $52Top rated

Explore Chiang Dao Cave, five northern Thai hill tribe villages, and an orchid farm on an affordable, guide-led day trip from Chiang Mai.

“The villages were really interesting. The people live close to nature and know the land very well. My guide Saman pointed out many plants and their uses. The people were friendly and you can buy hand made items. There's a school to donate to if you wish, they really would appreciate things as they don't have much cash flow. Chang Dao area is beautiful and the caves lovely. Saman is an excellent guide and a nice man. The driver was also excellent. A lovely and educational day out. Highly recommend”

Explore Chiang Dao Cave and climb Buatong Sticky Waterfall on an 8-hour small-group tour from Chiang Mai with local food and guides.

“Our guide, Tim, was extremely engaging and friendly! The night before, he sent us a text to introduce himself, giving us a contact number, and confirming our booking. He came to pick us up on time and throughout all our drives (some of which were 1.5 hours, he took the time to share fun facts about the places we were passing, making the ride so enjoyable and educational! He was so patient, and always ensured we were comfortable in the car, and ensuring our valuables were taken care of. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you so much for the memories Tim!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 75 reviews · 8 hours · from $51

Explore Chiang Dao Cave, five hill tribe villages, orchids, and butterflies on an 8-hour cultural day trip from Chiang Mai.

“A perfect trip for someone looking to get a view of the traditional way of life in the mountains. The villages are all different, so it gives you a nice perspective on different cultures. The guide spoke very good English and explained many details along the way. The food on our midway stop was also good and inexpensive. The caves are worth a visit since they are also a place of worship for the monks. Would recommend to anyone interested in the traditional way of life in Thailand.”
