Seven-Day Chiang Mai Relaxation Trip: Coffee, Massage, and a Day Trip to Chiang Rai

A 7-day itinerary for Thailand with 43 stops, from Arrive at Chiang Mai International Airport to Chiang Mai International Airport.

A slow-paced Chiang Mai itinerary based in the Old City: only a few sights each day, with lunch breaks built in, mixed with cafe hopping, Northern Thai food, and two Thai massages. In the middle, a day trip to Chiang Rai's White Temple, Blue Temple, and Black House, plus a half-day trip to Mae Kampong village and hot springs. Some markets have opening-day restrictions, so I've noted alternative plans at each stop. Business info is based on October 2026, so please double-check before you leave.
