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.

This one is just near Tha Pae Gate in the ancient city. It was just right when I passed by the place where pigeons took pictures at Tha Pae Gate. Also, I arrived early at the expected time. The service was also very good and very comfortable. I chose two massages. After an hour-long plan, I asked at the counter if I could press the thighs. The result was that it was OK. If I wanted to press the thighs, I had to go in and do it while lying down. It was very comfortable. My legs were very swollen after being massaged. After two hours of massage by the master, I felt very comfortable. I highly recommend it. If you can come again next time, it is really better to book it on klook. Although there are promotions in front of the store, if you like it, I think it is not bad to buy the itinerary first👍

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

It was a very informative tour. The guide explained not only the food but also the culture and history in general, which was great. The food was also delicious. I recommend you try all the food. In particular, the khao krib pak moh was very delicious. I think it would be more fun if you take the tour early in your arrival at Chiang Mai.
