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?)

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 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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thai massage is not a traditional Thai massage. People who are afraid of being tossed around can try it. You can choose the part to strengthen, which is not bad, and the massage strength can also be specified.

I guess this our the most immersive and organic Chiang Mai experience so far ♥️ we enjoyed the bond with the elephants and we learned a lot about how to take care of them. ♥️

The pick-up point is the parking lot on the main street of Mae Kampong Village. There are benches in the parking lot so you can sit and wait. You can also get off at Chiang Mai Station.
