Chiang Mai Activities and Shopping

“

“Experience the vibrant pulse of Chiang Mai from the serene comfort of Puripunn.”

Nestled in a tranquil heritage enclave, our boutique hotel places you just steps away from a diverse array of experiences—from mindful spa therapies and fitness sessions right on‑site to cultural excursions, outdoor adventures, and hands‑on workshops across the city. Enjoy yoga at dawn, soak in the Sala Spa’s rejuvenating treatments, or hop on our complimentary tuk‑tuk to explore cooking classes, jungle treks, ethical elephant sanctuaries, and scenic riverside markets. Discover the perfect balance of relaxation and exploration—all easily arranged through our knowledgeable concierge.
