Close to the city, clean environment, cheap and comfortable massage, simple and easy to make an appointment, will definitely visit Klook again next time I come to Chiang Mai

The essential oil used in the aromatherapy essential oil massage is relatively good, and the service is pretty good, but overall it feels a bit expensive. The Thai herbal ball massage is a bit hot, which may be a bit unbearable for tender skin, but the hot compressed area is quite relaxing.

The location is right inside the night market, so you can just click here after shopping. The environment in the store is very good, the massage is very relaxing, and the snacks at the end are delicious!

The ancient house is fragrant, and the space is more relaxing than the spa. When you come alone, you will be taken to a private room. If there are areas that you particularly want to strengthen, the master will circle them. The master will focus on these points more frequently and powerfully (I choose the middle The strength is strong, but it can also cause soreness up to 7 points). It is recommended to buy a trial coupon to get a much cheaper price.

Elephant Dream Project - A Truly Ethical Sanctuary in Chiang Mai ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Elephant Dream Project in Chiang Mai, and it was hands down one of the most memorable and ethically rewarding experiences of my trip to Thailand. This sanctuary is a true gem, dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and protection of elephants, and I couldn’t have been more impressed by the care and attention given to the animals. Unlike many other elephant attractions, the Elephant Dream Project prioritizes the well-being of the elephants over tourist entertainment. There are no rides or performances, not even swimming with them, which is a huge plus for anyone looking for a more humane and responsible way to experience these magnificent animals. The sanctuary focuses on providing a safe, natural environment where the elephants can roam freely, interact with their natural surroundings, and receive proper medical care. The staff here are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about elephant conservation. Throughout the visit, they shared fascinating insights into the elephants' individual stories and how they came to the sanctuary, many of them rescued from harsh conditions in the tourism or logging industries. You can feel the deep respect and love they have for these animals in every interaction. The visit itself was immersive yet respectful—feeding and walking with the elephants in their natural habitat was an unforgettable experience. We were encouraged to simply observe and engage with the elephants in a calm, non-intrusive manner. The elephants seemed relaxed and happy, which speaks volumes about the sanctuary’s approach to animal welfare. In addition to the incredible animal care, the Elephant Dream Project also focuses on educating visitors about sustainable and ethical tourism practices. They emphasize the importance of supporting ethical sanctuaries like theirs and discouraging activities that exploit elephants. I highly recommend the Elephant Dream Project for anyone visiting Chiang Mai who wants to have a meaningful and responsible experience with elephants. It’s a sanctuary that truly lives up to its promises of ethical treatment, conservation, and respect for these incredible creatures. I left feeling inspired and grateful for the opportunity to support such an ethical cause.
