SNEAK PEAK
This Northern Thailand escape is where lush mountains, vibrant markets, and a little bit of chaos (the fun kind) come together. From wandering through Chiang Mai’s old city lanes and night markets hunting for handmade treasures, to climbing the famous Sticky Waterfalls and chasing sunsets at Pai Canyon, every day feels like a new adventure.
We’ll visit hidden jungle temples, try our hand at a Thai cooking class, slow down with a traditional massage, explore the artsy Baan Kang Wat creative village, and café-hop our way through Pai’s laid-back streets. Add scenic mountain drives, hot springs, good food, and a girl gang that’s always up for a laugh, and this trip turns into the kind of story you’ll keep telling long after you’re back home.

Touch down by noon and head to Chiang Mai’s charming Old Town. Ease into Thailand with a flavourful local lunch before slipping into holiday mode. Our first experience is a massage at a very special spa where former female inmates are given a second chance at rebuilding their lives. As evening falls, we step into a quiet temple for that quintessential Chiang Mai welcome, followed by dinner and fun icebreakers as strangers begin turning into friends.

A hilly morning with a visit to Wat Pha Lat, a quiet jungle temple along the old Monk’s Trail. Next, Hmong Village where we glimpse the traditions of the Hmong hill tribe, known for vibrant embroidery and mountain farming. Lunch features Northern Thailand’s beloved Khao Soi, a spicy coconut noodle hug. Have you even been to Thailand if you haven’t wandered through a vibrant night market? You know what we’re up to this evening!

This ain’t no ordinary morning. It’s one where we squeaaal! We’re visiting the Bua Thong Sticky Waterfalls where mineral rich limestone makes the cascading rocks climbable. So, you can actually claim to have climbed a waterfall! 😉Afternoon at Baan Kang Wat, a small village of artisan’s studios. Been missing your artsy self? We’ve planned a special workshop here for our girls!

Are you ready to stand on top of Thailand? We’re scaling Doi Inthanon, the highest point in the country. We’ll visit the Twin Pagodas and soak in the history – did you know Doi Suthep nearby is said to house a piece of the Buddha’s shoulder bone? Talk about a holy “shoulder to lean on.” Post the touch of spirituality, it’s time to let your hair down ladies – pub crawl through the city’s best speakeasies!

Buckle up, sisters, because we’re trading the city for the boho-chic mountain town of Pai via a road so winding it has 762 curves! Once we reach, we’ll slip straight into the “slow life” rhythm that makes this town a total vibe. An afternoon café-hopping through a “coffee snob’s” paradise! Some tete a tete shall brew. It’s a low-key evening to unwind, breathe in that fresh mountain air, and embrace the ways of this hippie town.

July 10th, Friday
We’re whisking you away for a walk to remember. Befriend the greens of the rice paddy fields as we walk across the 800 meter long Bamboo Bridge. A trip is never quite complete until your palate has devoured the local cuisine. Lo behold, unleash your inner MasterChefs in a specially curated Thai cooking class. Later, sunset at Pai Canyon – where red sandstone narrow trails lead us to a spot where we watch the Sun descend.

Time for something steamy!! The hot springsss (that’s what you thought, right? hehe) Cocooned amidst overhanging trees and vines, these hot springs are going to rejuvenate you. In keeping with the theme of the day, we’ll head to Romance Farm for lunch at the oh so pretty farm full of meadow meandering and sheep selfies. sunset at Big Buddha. Last nights ought to be special, so, we shall check out Pai’s vegan night market and have ourselves a cozy little picnic before we bid farewell.
