The only thing I have firmly carved in the plan so far is a full day visit to Doi Inthanon National Park to enjoy the mountains, waterfalls, tribal villages, etc. A friend of mine showed me pictures of this place years ago and I've always had it on my "Must Do" list.
Thanks again.
A tip for this. Take warm clothes. Doi Inthanon, being the highest point in Thailand, is also the coldest. It can get down to 5 degrees C there, or even less.
A suggestion, if you are in CM on a Saturday, Sanpatong buffalo market:

OK, it's on Trip Advisor now, but far enough outside town not to get many tourists. The last time I was there, I only saw 2 other farang (but that was 5 years ago.
It does not do it justice just to call it a buffalo market. It is huge. It even has it's own police station, which only opens on a Saturday. You can get anything you can think of there - there was even a fully equipped opticians when I went. It's nearly all Thai people, thousands of them, buying stuff they need.
You need to get up early and hire a car. Get there around 7.00 a.m. - it's a morning market.
Thinking about it, you could pass by there on the way to Doi Inthanon, so you could combine the two - but you would have a long day.
