01. A Mystical Hour Shining Brighter at Night: Doi Suthep & Wat Umong Night Tour

As the daytime heat fades and a cool night breeze begins to blow, this tour offers the most romantic experience in Chiang Mai. First, you will wander through the serene forest paths of Wat Umong, a 700-year-old tunnel temple. The moss-covered pagodas and Buddha statues tucked inside the caves create an atmosphere far more mystical and reverent than during the day.

The journey continues to the symbol of Chiang Mai, Doi Suthep. In 2026, the night lighting has been spectacularly enhanced, allowing you to witness the breathtaking sight of a golden pagoda burning brilliantly against the pitch-black sky. The panoramic night view of the city, sparkling like jewels from the observatory, makes you forget all travel fatigue. WAUG’s dedicated night tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off, ensuring safe and convenient travel on mountain roads late at night.


02. Artistic Wonders Beyond the Border: Chiang Rai Famous Temple Day Tour

If you are visiting Chiang Mai, you must take a day to encounter the overwhelming artistic world of the neighboring city, Chiang Rai. This tour conquers three iconic sites in one day: the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun), which depicts heaven with pure white splendor; the Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea Ten), shimmering with mystical blue light; and the Black House (Baan Dam), a collection of dark wooden structures embodying the philosophy of life and death.

In 2026, the Chiang Rai tour has become even richer with expert guides who narrate the artistic history of each temple. Although the travel distance is significant, the comfort of a private air-conditioned vehicle ensures a relaxing trip. Booking a tour with professional guides via WAUG allows you to complete a perfect day, including unique local culinary experiences in Chiang Rai.


03. A Day of Blooming Sensibilities: Elefin Farm & Baan Kang Wat & Cypress Lanes

This tour captures the very essence of the trendiest "emotional" spots in Chiang Mai, as seen all over social media. Start your day at Elefin Farm & Cafe, where you can enjoy the exotic experience of having coffee alongside elephants. These elephants are cared for like family, and travelers can spend a peaceful morning feeding them and taking photos against a backdrop of vast mountain ranges.

Next is Baan Kang Wat, the creative sanctuary for Chiang Mai’s local artists. Wander through this forest-like village, browse charming handicrafts, and create your own unique souvenirs. The tour concludes at Cypress Lanes, where a long path of cedar trees creates the illusion of being in a European garden, perfect for capturing the ultimate "life-shot." Booking this trendy 2026 course as a private vehicle tour via WAUG provides the most comfortable way to enjoy these hidden gems.
