I was very satisfied when I visited many years ago, and I was not disappointed when I came back this time. Both the front desk and the masseurs' services were very satisfactory. Big push.

It is highly recommended to hire a professional photographer. In addition to taking beautiful photos, he will also give advice on selecting locations and posing for photos, which is great. At the same time, because I took a ride to the scenic spot, I went to four temples to take photos in a short period of time. I felt that the efficiency was really better.

The decoration and environment are all very good, but the skills of the masseur are really not very good (or is the standard of foot massage in Thailand terrible?)

It was perfect one day trip that included everything I wanted to do!! In the first half, were able to feed bananas to elephants, bathe them in the river, take pictures with them. And after lunch, we visited Thailand's highest point, also Great Pagoda which overlooks the rice terrains, and finally did trekking to the waterfall that passed through the rice terrains. Everything was so beautiful and worth the whole day. Our guide Adam explained everything in detail also made the trip much more interesting and enjoyable with his humor. I would like to recommend this trip go everyone who wants to feel Chiangmai's real beauty 💚

There is no elephant riding here or excessive bathing. You only need to help carry the food. The rest is to see the elephants happy, comfortable, occasionally acting willfully and spending the day carefree. It is worth coming here again. Great place. Please remember to wear slippers or non-slip sandals on the day. There is a lot of sand on site. It is recommended to wear sports pants that are more convenient and quick-drying. You can easily get cut by the grass when walking in the grass. Finally, if you want to have close contact with elephants, such as riding, touching, bathing, or any other actions you want the elephants to perform for you, this is not the place and is not suitable for you. If you want to see elephants that are trusting and confident in humans and want to do something for elephants, please don’t miss this place!

It’s fun to go to the market and learn about Thai vegetables. You can also learn that the commonly eaten Thai food comes from these interesting and healthy ingredients. The cooking experience is also great. The teacher explains very clearly, and you can make your own Thai food according to your own taste. It is fun and fulfilling.

It was my second time to experience Thai clothing, so I had already thought about the outfit selection before departure. However, when I arrived at the scene, the service staff also provided suggestions. In fact, it looked better than I originally planned. I was very surprised!!! After changing. Clothes are the makeup and hair part. Maybe because of your skin color or contour, you just can’t look very Thai, but you are beautiful and satisfied.

One of the highlights of my trip. They picked me up from my hotel as well as sent me back safely. The place is high up the mountains and definitely a very ‘Ethical Elephant Sanctuary” where elephants are considered as part of their family for generations. Highly recommended experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️
