We help organize your itinerary in Chiang Mai and suggest the best things to do and see, based upon our experiences here over the last 20 years.
Some of the interesting things to do include a day of elephants where you ride comfortably on the elephants, followed by a gentle river raft ride and then a visit to a wonderful temple on the way home....the whole experience is unparalleled.
There is loads of shopping, wonderful temples to visit, and a trip to the local markets and the Chinese market area is always fun.
A day at a recommended spa for luxurious treatment is also one of the great options.
For any and all activities outside of our residence, you will be accompanied by either myself or our personal highly-knowledgeable tour guide, Mr. Eddy, whom we have known for 25 years. This assures that you enjoy your experience with true local flavor!
Our residence (and all of Chiang Mai) is extremely safe and crime is basically non-existent here, which makes for a true hassle-free experience.
Of course, of all the things to do and see in the greater Chiang Mai area....Staying home and enjoying your time with your family and friends in the unmatched surroundings of Howie's HomeStay will be the best!
Please feel free to ask any and all questions!
Warm regards,
Howie & Jerri
