Whilst at Kobkun Homestay, be sure to check out the following local attractions:

	Chiang Mai Night Bazaar Chiang Mai's enormous Night Bazaar market is one of the best places in Thailand to shop. The products and trends available change constantly so it's still an exciting place for locals as well as for tourists. Open daily between sunset and midnight, the Night Bazaar is the place to go for souvenirs, handicrafts, fake goods, textiles, and other knickknacks.
	Doi Inthanon National Park At 2,565m, Doi Inthanon is the highest mountain in Thailand and its surrounding areas are designated as the Doi Inthanon national park. The park itself lies roughly 90 minutes' drive southwest of Chiang Mai and is popular for its magnificent waterfalls, flora and excellent views. In the park are many attractive waterfalls and caves such as: Mae Ya Waterfall (the most beautiful waterfall in Chiang Mai), Mae Klang Waterfall, Wachiratan Waterfall, Sririphum Waterfall, Huay Sai Luang Waterfall and Mae Pan Waterfall.
	Wat Phra Thad Doi Suthep Seen from everywhere in the city, this is the guardian temple of Chiang Mai. This temple is one of the most famous Buddhist shrines in the region. A visit is a must for all Buddhists who come to Chiang Mai. The temple sits upon a distinctive peak and supports a community of souvenir vendors and restaurants. Entry to the temple is via an exhausting 300-step stairway lined with two elongated nagas (protective serpents). There is also a funicular rail. The centrepiece of Wat Pratat Doi Suithep is the magnificent gilded chedi and a peaceful courtyard. Take note that you should dress respectfully when entering the temple. Doi Suthep can be seen from everywhere in Chiang Mai, it is a potent and powerful presence to which people often lift up their eyes for consolation in trouble or gratitude in happiness.
	Chiang Mai Zoo Chiang Mai Zoo is situated next to Huay Kaew Arboretum at the foot of the mountain on which Phra That Doi Suthep is located. Most of the animals enjoy quite large natural habitats here, with inhabitants ranging from bears to penguins. The latest additions are two Chinese pandas which are hugely popular.
