Episode.0 Tour Highlights – Pha Chor, Mae Ya Waterfall & Thanin Market
What Is Episode.0?
Episode.0 is a travel agency run by HATAGO's energetic Arley. Her original tours take you deep into Chiang Mai's hidden gems — places no guidebook covers.
This article highlights a full-day tour for two guests who met at a cooking class in Japan and became friends, guided by Arley through some of Chiang Mai's best spots.
*Episode.0's original tour — guided by someone who truly knows Chiang Mai*
Pha Chor – Thailand's Grand Canyon
First stop: Pha Chor, about one hour from HATAGO. These 30-meter sandstone cliffs in Mae Wang National Park are often called "Thailand's Grand Canyon." Thousands of years of wind and water erosion have created natural sculptures that leave visitors speechless.
Morning light is best for photography. Walking paths make the cliffs accessible without special equipment.
Mae Ya Waterfall – Chiang Mai's Most Beautiful
One hour from Pha Chor, Mae Ya Waterfall is widely considered Chiang Mai's most beautiful waterfall. The scale of water cascading from above is breathtaking — something photos simply cannot capture.

Thanin Market – A Food Lover's Paradise
Afternoon brings Thanin Market, located near Chiang Mai University and Rajabhat University. Compared to other markets, Thanin is known for its abundance of prepared foods and sweets — serving as a daily kitchen for local students and long-stay residents.
For Thai food enthusiasts, the northern Thai ingredients and spices here are a treasure trove.

Saturday Night Market & Santitham Street Food
Leaving the car at Thanin Market, the tour continues by songthaew (shared truck taxi) — with a lesson on how to ride one. The Saturday Night Market on Wualai Road features handicrafts, northern Thai artworks, and street food.
The day ends at Santitham street food area — authentic Chiang Mai flavors loved by locals, not tourists.
