I loved everything about this class! You will learn so much and but in a such an easy way. The whole team is really great everything was perfectly organised. At first when I was how much we we going to cook and that it takes 4 hours, I was a bit scared but it just went so quickly. I will definitely go again when I am back to Chiang Mai. And I recommend it to everyone ☺️

if you are looking for a true ethical elephants’ sanctuary - this is it! Owner really loves those big giants and takes good care about them. The sanctuary is in the mountains, around 2h drive from Chiang Mai (views are amazing!) The pick up was on time, we traveled in the comfortable mini van with AC. There are 4 elephants in the sanctuary, including one baby. The experience with those gentle giants consists of couple of parts: a quick lesson about animals, the sanctuary background and mission, then feeding the elephants, short walk to the forest and then - river (people are welcome to join elephants in the water, but the interaction depends on elephants - no one is forcing animals to do things they don’t want to do!!). At the end we enjoyed yummy lunch and were taken back to Chiang Mai. Highly recommended!! We’ve had really great time, learned a lot about the animals and were able to feed, gently touch them and take photos.

Our visit to the Elephant Dream Project was truly magical. With our guide Mr. Dee, we learned about the elephants' history, habits, and family. We interacted with 4 gentle giants, feeding and bathing them. The sanctuary's ethical approach and beautiful setting made for an unforgettable experience. I liked that the visit was with a small group, (10-12 people) and that Mr. Dee picks you up from your hotel. I recommend the Elephant Dream Project. Mr. Dee's passion for ethical elephant care is inspiring, and I wish him success in finding ethical, forever homes for his family's 30 elephants

The tour guide Jin is perfect during the whole trip. Although it’s a half day trip, the management of time is perfect. In addition, thanks to Jin’s explanations, we can have a glimpse of the history of two temples. If we came here without joining the group, it will be a pity of not knowing the background and the history of them. Highly recommended, and thanks to Jin again for his help during the whole journey!

We headed for the summit with nine participants, a guide, and a driver. It was early in the morning and the fresh air felt great. Unfortunately, it was cloudy and we couldn't see the sunrise, but the guide's explanation was very interesting and humorous. It's a mountain road, so if you're worried about getting car sick, please take motion sickness medicine.

It's a very new and big hotel. The housekeeping staff at T7 are very polite and considerate. They clean the bathroom very well. The water in the bathroom is stable and the temperature is sufficient. Breakfast changes some of the dishes every day. Go straight out from the T7 building and turn right at the parking lot fence. , there is a self-service laundry not far away, and further ahead there is McDonald's, guu dessert shop, and massage parlor. The location is very convenient, and there are also coffee shops and restaurants in the hotel (not expensive), as well as a barber shop. Children like airplanes very much. You can clearly see the airplanes when you look out the window in the room. The shortcomings are: there is a bar next to the T7 building, which is a bit loud at night, but people who are not sensitive to sound don't need to worry about it, because I don't think it will affect the sound of the airplanes. It’s okay, it doesn’t affect my sleep at all. I will definitely stay here again next time
