“The Global Schools Challenge is not just a competition. It is a once in a lifetime experience set against one of the most beautiful and culturally rich cities in Southeast Asia.”
Ancient Temples
700 YEARS OF HISTORY AT YOUR DOORSTEP
From the golden spires of Wat Doi Suthep perched high in the mountains to the peaceful grounds of Wat Chedi Luang in the heart of the old city. Every temple tells a story. Every corner reveals something new. Your players will walk paths that monks have walked for seven centuries.
After Dark
NIGHT MARKETS THAT NEVER END
When the sun goes down, Chiang Mai lights up. Miles of stalls selling handcrafted goods, sizzling street food vendors cooking Pad Thai and Mango Sticky Rice right in front of you, live music drifting through the warm night air. This is where your team bonds off the field.
Unforgettable Encounters

Into The Wild
JUNGLE, WATERFALLS, AND RAW NATURE
Escape into the lush jungle surrounding the city. Hike to hidden waterfalls. Climb the famous Bua Tong Sticky Waterfalls where limestone formations let you walk right up the cascading water. Zipline through the canopy. Raft the rapids. The adventure never stops.
