After lunch you embark on a spree in shopping paradise. Our guide will translate for you and bargain hard for those great deals. You can fill your private car up to the roof with treasures. Start off at Chiang Mai's bustling central market where traditional goods are still sold. Where else could you find teeth-blackening betel nut stimulant, glittering temple offerings, perfumed incense, sticky sweets, exotic fruit preserves and magic love potions? Journey around the countryside to visit the provincial craft villages which ring the city. Each specializes in a traditional craft: wood carving, silver sculpting, paper-making, and Bawsang village's famous painted umbrellas. After dinner, explore the Night Bazaar in downtown Chiang Mai for antiques, silk clothes, artwork and magical amulets.
Day Tour price: $98 for one or two guests ($83 if you are taking
