Take the kids to Mae Ping River and spend an afternoon walking along the water's edge. There's something about being by a river that makes you feel calm and relaxed.

This flowing body of water is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Thailand. But Mae Ping River isn't the only drawcard in the area. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai City Arts & Cultural Center, and Chiang Mai National Museum are some other recommended attractions close by.
