Samoeng is a small farming community of perhaps 5,000 inhabitants roughly 50 km from Chiang Mai. It lies in a lovely valley with the valley floor at an elevation of about 550 m. Its claims to fame are its strawberries, for which it is justly acclaimed, and the so-called Samoeng Loop, a 100 km circuit through the mountains from Chiang Mai, well-known to both bicycling and motorcycling aficionados. The town is about as Thai as possible, with only the occasional Westerner in sight.

The Samoeng Loop represents one of the best alternatives things to do in Chiang Mai. In a nutshell, here is what you’ll find along the road: nice waterfalls, amazing views, hidden temples, some fresh air and more !

"Heading north of Chiang Mai by big bike to Mae Sa Elephant Camp,where you will feed the elephants, see them bathing and performing their talents.Then get closer to the action with elephant riding experience, Tiger Kingdom,where you can take photos together with wild tigers and Wat Prathat Doi Suthep temple, which is one of the most important temples in Chiang Mai."
