Hmong Doi Pui Village headlines this Chiang Mai adventure, as Dave and Kim combine a hill tribe village visit with waterfalls and the famous Wat Phra That Doi Suthep temple, then finish at Pizza My Heart, the best pizza they have had in Thailand.

A Classic Doi Suthep Day

The hills west of Chiang Mai pack several of the region's best attractions into one winding mountain road. Dave and Kim's day starts with the Hmong Doi Pui Village, a hill tribe community known for its market stalls, flower gardens, and views over the valley, along with a couple of waterfalls near the city.

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep

No trip up the mountain is complete without Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, the golden temple that has watched over Chiang Mai for centuries. The video shares the family's visit, giving first timers a sense of the climb, the atmosphere, and the views that make it northern Thailand's most famous temple.

The Best Pizza in Thailand

The day ends on an unexpected note: Pizza My Heart in Chiang Mai, which Dave and Kim call the best pizza they have had in all of Thailand. For expats who know how rare a truly great pizza is in the kingdom, that is a serious endorsement, and a delicious way to finish a mountain day.
