A Full Day Exploring Chiang Mai's Hidden Gems

episode.0, the travel agency led by HATAGO's energetic Arley, offers unique original tours you won't find at major travel companies. On this trip, we set out with three guests to explore Pha Chor, Baan Celadon, Chamcha Market, Sang Ga Dee Space, and the Mae Ka Canal — a packed and unforgettable day.

Pha Chor in Mae Wang National Park. Nature's masterpiece carved over millions of years — Thailand's very own Grand Canyon.

Pha Chor — Thailand's Grand Canyon

About 1.5 hours from Chiang Mai city, Pha Chor sits within Mae Wang National Park. These towering 30-meter earth pillars, sculpted by millions of years of erosion, create a landscape reminiscent of the American Grand Canyon.

The viewpoint offers a stunning 360-degree panorama of endless green forest. We recommend visiting in the cool morning hours.

Mae Ka Canal — Mountains Meet Water

After Pha Chor, we headed to the Mae Ka Canal, a peaceful spot where calm waters reflect the surrounding Chiang Mai mountains.

Baan Celadon — Traditional Pottery Workshop

Chiang Mai is famous for its celadon pottery — a traditional jade-green glazed ceramic. At Baan Celadon, artisans handcraft each piece with meticulous care.

The showroom displays beautiful celadon vases and tableware — perfect for souvenirs. A rare chance to experience Chiang Mai's traditional craft up close.
