San Kamphaeng Hot Springs & Silk Village Eco Ride

A scenic bike ride east of Chiang Mai to the lesser-visited San Kamphaeng area. Cycle through rice paddies and small farms to the natural hot springs (only locals use them), then continue to a family-run silk weaving village where you can see the entire process from cocoon to loom. Low-carbon: use the dedicated bike lane on Route 1006. Insider tip: bring eggs to boil in the hot spring pool (a local tradition), and buy silk scarves directly from weavers at half market price.
