Chiang Mai ecotourism during the green season
Chiang Mai in the rainy season is an invitation to experience nature at its best. Misty mountains, lush rice fields, and vibrant greenery make the city a refreshing escape during the “green season.” Instead of avoiding the rain, travellers are encouraged to embrace it for a slower, more authentic journey.
MOVE, in collaboration with the Tourism Authority of Thailand, recently brought ASEAN travel creators, including When in Manila and Ran Got Away from the Philippines, to explore Chiang Mai’s eco-friendly attractions. Their journey revealed how the city blends culture, sustainability, and natural beauty.
Thep Sadet Community – Highland Arabica Coffee
In Doi Saket, Thep Sadet preserves the tradition of Arabica coffee farming. Visitors can learn about sustainable cultivation directly from local farmers and enjoy fresh, eco-friendly brews.
On Tai Village – Natural Colours and Tradition
In Sankampang district, On Tai Village showcases natural dyeing techniques using indigo and turmeric. Travellers can join tie-dye workshops, explore weaving demonstrations, and visit organic farms, supporting both heritage and circular economy values.
One Nimman – Modern Culture Hub
One Nimman blends European-inspired design with local lifestyle. Its cafés, art galleries, shops, and lively markets offer a vibrant space for both creativity and community.
Wat Sri Suphan – The Silver Temple
Wat Sri Suphan, known for intricate silver carvings, is more than a spiritual landmark. Guests can join workshops led by artisans to experience the art of silverwork firsthand.
With multi-city flights available, Chiang Mai is more accessible than ever. Through the MOVE app, travellers can book flights, secure discounts, and enjoy PHP650 OFF hotel stays with promo code THAIHOTELS on bookings above PHP4,000.
