- Chiang Mai
Today is a free day for you to explore Chiang Mai, or here are some recommendations.
After more than a week's tour, why not arrange something fun for your kid before they start to go a little 'crazy'? Today, we can tailor-made the program based on your kid's interests and preferences. Such as going to a kind of animal-themed café. Whether they are cat, dog, or raccoon lovers, Chiang Mai has the perfect Animal Cafe for them! Enjoy ice cream and have time to play with cats/other pets.
Or go to the Chiang Mai playground in the Nong Buak Hard Public Park, which is nestled in the extreme SE corner of the Old Town. This Park is very nice with many ponds, sculptured shrubs, jogging paths, and more. It is large and well-kept by international standards. There's nothing like some "run around and be crazy" time at a playground to make a kid feel normal again. It is also a chance to make a new local friend during time off from playing games. If you want, visit a local market or shopping mall to find some nice local souvenirs as a gift for the kid and their friends.
