Chiang Mai Province Excursions d'un dia

The van ride was surprisingly comfortable. I expected a bumpy ride but we arrived smoothly. I was the second to board and the last to get off. There was a separate driver. The trip took about 1 hour and 20-30 minutes, with a short stop at a rest area. I didn't need to use the restroom, but a stranger from Thailand opened the van door, which startled me. The driver immediately came over and stopped him. There was also a child from another tourist group in the van, and they were scared too. It's probably better to travel with a group. Upon arriving at New Elephant Home, we were provided with a blue top, optional blue bottoms (no extra cost), a hat, and flip-flops. There were about 20 elephants, and they explained about African and Asian elephants, and things to be cautious of. There were also baby elephants and pregnant elephants. We fed them chopped sugarcane and pumpkin, as well as tamarind, rice, and bananas. We received a cross-body bag for food and then took a raft across to see the elephants. We spent a long time feeding them, and it was fun getting kisses from the elephants. The guide took great pictures. We returned by raft. I think it was a canal connected to the Mekong River. The elephants were splashing around in the water, and we helped wash them. After returning, we quickly washed up. There was a faucet at a good height to wash our legs and hands, and liquid soap was nearby. The restrooms weren't bad; they had toilet paper and were free. Towels were also provided. When bathing the elephants, you'll get splashed, so it's a good idea to bring extra pants and underwear. Wearing flip-flops is also recommended. Meals were included in the tour. It was a buffet with water, pad thai, fried food, rice, soup, watermelon, and what seemed like traditional Thai jelly. Other food items seemed to be ordered separately, and coffee or Coca-Cola were extra. Since you'll be touching and feeding elephants, you should expect to get dirty. Elephants are vegan, so their droppings don't smell bad; it's more like the smell of a rural area without fertilizer, which was interesting. I was the only Korean person. I heard that many Koreans go to Rang Khong. I actually felt more comfortable being with people from other countries, and everyone was very polite, which made it even better. Group size: Approximately 4+2+3+1+1 = 11 people today. Guide: Achin was playful and kind. He will send the photos later. Breaks: There were more breaks than expected, including rest stop time, waiting for the raft, and after bathing the elephants, before changing clothes and having lunch. I recommend the tour. It was fun.

We had a great time on our Chiang Rai day tour! 🩵 The trip was well-organized, enjoyable, and very informative. Our guide (Raine) was friendly and knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about the history and culture of each place we visited. The temples were beautiful, and everything was explained clearly without feeling rushed. Overall, it was a memorable experience and definitely worth it. Highly recommended! ✨

El conductor era molt amable i el viatge en general va ser fiable. La cascada Sticky es troba al parc forestal del nord de Tailàndia, i les roques de la cascada són de color gris blavós, és increïble! L'aigua és fresca i pots interactuar de prop amb la natura mentre puges!

Un tour increïble amb un guia turístic fantàstic, en James. Molt informatiu, obert a moltes preguntes, es va assegurar que estiguéssim còmodes i ens va suggerir més llocs per visitar per gaudir plenament de Chiang Mai. En James és un guia turístic molt recomanable. És tranquil i sempre té un gran somriure a la cara. Sens dubte, tornaré a reservar aquest tour si mai torno a visitar-lo amb la meva família.

El guia M és molt amable i dedicat, canviant entre l'anglès i el xinès per atendre a tot el grup. Abans del viatge, cal estar atent als missatges de l'agència de viatges; el dia abans de la sortida, s'envia un correu electrònic amb l'hora de trobada, que en el meu cas va ser diferent de la de la reserva. El vehicle va arribar puntualment. 8:50 Termes de Chiang Rai: La piscina per als peus estava molt calenta, només es podia tocar un moment. 9:20 Poble de les dones girafa: Al costat de l'aparcament hi ha una cafeteria en un lloc elevat, des d'on es pot gaudir de les vistes llunyanes. El propietari no es pot comunicar gaire bé en anglès, així que cal confirmar bé les comandes. 11:30-12:40 Temple Blanc (Wat Rong Khun): Una bellesa impressionant, amb un disseny de ruta molt significatiu. No es poden fer fotos a la sala principal. 12:50 Dinar: En format bufet, amb sopa de fideus feta al moment, diverses postres tailandeses i fruita dolça. 13:50-14:30 Temple Blau (Wat Rong Seur Ten): Es pot fer una foto amb el gran Buda del Temple Blau. Fora del temple hi ha una fila de botigues on es poden comprar coses i aperitius. 14:50-15:30 Temple Negre (Baan Dam Museum): Una col·lecció privada d'un artista, amb un estil únic. 16:30-17:40 Parc del Triangle d'Or amb un passeig en vaixell addicional per 300/persona. 22:00 Tornada al districte comercial de Nimman, una hora més tard de l'hora prevista (21:00). Per sort, portàvem aperitius per al camí. La distància entre els fanals de la carretera és bastant llarga, així que es recomana que les persones que es maregin prenguin medicaments abans, ja que les carreteres de muntanya no són gaire planes. Tot i que va acabar molt tard, el guia es va mantenir sempre amb molta energia i el servei va ser excel·lent.

La meva mare i jo vam gaudir molt de l'excursió cultural de dia sencer als Temples Blanc i Blau. Va ser una experiència meravellosa amb un bon servei i el guia va explicar molt bé la cultura i la història. Vam aprendre molt i vam gaudir de veritat de tot el viatge.

Aside from the slightly older shuttle vehicle, the entire trip was very satisfying. Although the supplier doesn't contact you again before the trip, the driver arrived on time for hotel pickup. We experienced heavy afternoon rain, but still thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had a great time. Remember to advise tourists to wear swimsuits (because you'll be bathing elephants in the river) or shorts and sandals, and to definitely bring rain gear and a change of clothes! Then you can enjoy the whole process! At 1:00 PM, hotel pickups begin. At 1:30 PM, we depart for about an hour's drive. At 2:30 PM, you can store your belongings in lockers (locks provided), followed by an explanation and preparation of food for feeding the elephants. At 3:00 PM, you'll feed the elephants, take photos, walk with the elephants, take photos in the forest, play in the mud with the elephants, and bathe and take photos with the elephants in the river. At 4:15 PM, you'll be shuttled to the restaurant for a buffet meal (fried rice, fried chicken nuggets, fruit, soup). At 5:00 PM, we begin the return journey, arriving at the old city at 6:00 PM for drop-offs back to individual hotels.

La visita va començar, malauradament, una mica allunyada, cosa que em va semblar una mica una pena. Per la resta, estic absolutament encantat. El guia turístic coneixia molt bé la zona i va poder explicar moltes coses. També va respondre a les preguntes ràpidament. Es va esforçar especialment per integrar tothom al grup i ens va donar alguns consells i informació. Els temples també eren impressionants i no em penedeixo d'haver-ho fet. Per acabar, el nostre guia turístic també ens va donar mini-pinyas.

I really loved this tour experience! 🌳🤍 Satin led us to the 'Trees in Water' in Chiang Mai, and along the way, she didn't just take us to the sights. She also thoughtfully introduced us to the history of the area, its surroundings, and many little facts we probably wouldn't have noticed on our own. You could tell Satin is very passionate about this place; she was very serious when sharing information and was happy to answer our questions. During the tour, she even proactively helped us find great photo angles and spots, allowing us to capture many photos we really love 📷. Before we set off, Satin also carefully reminded us of important things to note for the itinerary. The entire trip was meticulously planned, and being with her made us feel very at ease. Moreover, Satin was incredibly friendly. Besides the tour, she shared a lot about local life in Chiang Mai and recommended worthwhile activities. We felt completely comfortable with her, and it felt less like traveling with a tour guide and more like meeting a new friend in Chiang Mai, which made this trip feel very special to us.
