One popular wellness-inspired attraction is the Thailand Wellness Adventures where travelers embark on a 13-day trek through the city and countryside of Chiang Mai. Those who join in on the adventure will enjoy daily yoga and meditation, scrumptious cooking courses, animal encounters and a unique tour of the Bamboo Forest.
