Recreation

Re-energizing body and mind is the theme of all the activities arrangedby the Aruntara and other specialized operators. Chiang Mai is consideredby many as a quaint, traditional and somewhat spiritual city, in truthChiang Mai City has developed into a modern, cosmopolitan and chic minimetropolis, and a smaller but much prettier alternative to Bangkok.With the existence of many temples, of which there are more than 300,this gives the city a genuinely traditional Thai ambiance. There arevarious activities around Chiang Mai and its neighboring provinces toenjoy such as a trip to Phrathat Doi Suthep temple. The temple is oftenreferred to as Doi Suthep although this is actually the name of themountain it is located on. The temple is located 15 km from Aruntaraand is a must see for all visitors to Chiang Mai.
