Things to do in the neighborhood
On the Samoeng Road, a few minutes away, there are lots of (family friendly) tourist activities to choose from. You can take a Red Car on the main road and they will take you to wherever you want. A few recommendations...
At Mae Sa elephant camp you can feed the elephants, touch them, see baby elephants etc. You can ride them, and there is a show, but nowadays not recommended to do so.

One of the most famous waterfalls of Chiang Mai, with 8 cascades, and a nice pool to swim. Also a nice track through a natural environment. It is located inside a natural park, so entrance fees need to be paid (around 200 bht/p at the time of writing). But well worth it!

A nice place to get introduced to all kinds of insects, both alive and displayed. You can touch some of them, and be amazed about their colors and disguises. Also a few Iguanas. Last time I was allowed to touch one.

A nice and well maintained ZIP lining experience. Going up and down the trees, moving from tree to tree. All safe and with experienced guides/helpers. And what about riding a bike up in the air! They also have a sort of roller coaster, but recommended to pair up a child with an adult, as you really may want to break (manual break!) if going too fast. Kids seem to enjoy this more than their father...

Places to eat
Just around the corner is Princess Garden, a nice little restaurant with Pizza's, Burgers, Salads and some Thai Food. Located in a quiet, cordoned off flower garden. Good to enjoy a cool beer or refreshment and the good food.
