COVID-19 : a lot of information, especially about transport in Thailande are temporarily not accurate due to the suspension or reduction of the frequency in domestic flights, bus lines, trains, boat services ... to limit the progression of the coronavirus in Thailand or to face the impressive fall in the number of passengers.

What to see in Chiang Dao
In Chiang Dao, in the city, apart from the Tuesday market, there is nothing to see but a few kilometers around, you can find several interesting places starting with the Wat Tham Chiang Dao, the temple of the Chiang Dao caves, a must visit place when you come here. Climbing up Doi Chiang Dao mountain is also interesting especially for the view at the top but be careful, do not go alone. You also have to get an approval from the Wildlife Conservation Office or the National Parks Department. There are some temples perched on the moutains like Wat Tham Pha Plong 3-4 kilometers from the cave temple. I also recommend, except in the dry season (there is no water), the Sri Sungwan waterfall and just before Pong Arng Hot Springs to relax. Alternatively, you have many trails and mountain bike rides you can do by hiring a local guide (like Koko from the Go Koko Guesthouse - Tel: 089-265-8154).I also listed at the end of the page some good tours, excursions and activities that you can do in Chiang Dao or from Chiang Dao.
