Chiang Mai 4 Nights 5 Days Free Travel Guide — From Old City to Doi Suthep
With a direct flight of about 6 hours from Incheon (or via Bangkok), Chiang Mai, the capital of the ancient Lanna Kingdom in northern Thailand, is the perfect city for a 4-night, 5-day free travel itinerary filled with temples, mountains, cafes, elephants, massages, and night markets. Explore the Old City by bike or on foot, enjoy the city view from Doi Suthep, cafe hop and shop in Nimmanhaemin, experience an ethical elephant sanctuary for a day, and visit the Sunday Walking Street night market — all organized based on routes, budgets, how to use songthaews and Grab, hotel areas (Old City/Nimmanhaemin/Ping River), and seasons (best from November to February, avoid burning season in March to April) as of 2026.
