Historic temples, vibrant markets and beautiful mountains

To truly get to know Thailand, a visit to Chiang Mai is almost essential. Often regarded as the cultural capital of the country, the city is surrounded by breathtakingly diverse natural landscapes.

Culture: Within the old city walls you will find many historic temples, each reflecting centuries of craftsmanship and devotion. Chiang Mai is also known for its traditional artisans, whose skills are still practised today. The lively markets are well worth exploring, including the famous night market.

Nature: Chiang Mai is encircled by lush mountains, rice fields, dense jungle and beautiful waterfalls. Doi Inthanon National Park is one of the region’s most beloved natural reserves — home to Thailand’s highest peak and a haven for nature lovers.

Adventure: Hiking, cycling, ziplining and rafting are among the most popular activities in the surrounding landscapes, offering a perfect blend of excitement and immersion in nature.

Hotels: Chiang Mai offers a selection of exceptional hotels. Some are peacefully located within the city, such as the boutique 137 Pillars House, while others are set in nature — like the Four Seasons amid the rice fields, or Raya Heritage and Anantara along the Mae Ping River.

Culinary: Chiang Mai also has much to offer when it comes to dining. Beyond the excellent restaurants within the hotels, the city is home to a wide range of culinary experiences, and we are delighted to advise you further.

The weather in Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai can be visited throughout the year. Days are consistently warm, while the nights cool pleasantly. During the rainy season (July to September), showers usually fall in the late afternoon — brief yet intense — and the humidity is noticeably higher. In general, the months from October to February are considered the best time to travel, thanks to the dry and comfortable conditions.

What our guests say

The Orange Lotus

We had an unforgettable journey through Java, Bali and Moyo Island. Joey impressed us with her wonderful proposals, each perfectly aligned with the wishes of our entire family. Throughout the trip she was always there for us — even securing a table at a restaurant that had been fully booked for months. Thank you, The Orange Lotus. We will certainly return.

Fam. Bruggenwirth • Journey to Indonesia

The Orange Lotus

Thank you for an unforgettable journey through Thailand and for your flawless organisation. The excursions in Bangkok and Chiang Mai were truly unique experiences, and our hotel preferences were met perfectly. And the fact that you even surprised us by arranging our favourite wine on board during our private yacht excursion in Koh Samui says everything about your eye for detail and perfection. Wonderful in every way — we look forward to travelling with you again.

A big compliment to Rosa and the entire team at The Orange Lotus. Together with our friends, we enjoyed a truly wonderful journey through Thailand. The beautiful hotels, excellent private transfers and exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly local guides made the trip unforgettable — and the excursions were genuinely special. We have never encountered a travel designer with as much expertise as Rosa; an absolute breath of fresh air.
