Chiang Mai Province Ture

Uforglemmelig oplevelse i elefantreservat – T er den bedste guide nogensinde! Vores besøg i elefantreservat var uden tvivl det absolutte højdeknunkt på vores ugelange rejse til Thailand! En rigtig stor tak til vores guide, T, som gjorde denne oplevelse så ekstraordinær. T var utrolig professionel, vidende og dedikeret under hele aktiviteten. T sørgede grundigt for at forklare baggrunden og de unikke personligheder for hver enkelt elefant, hvilket sikrede, at vi interagerede med dem på en sikker og respektfuld måde. Vi er særligt taknemmelige over for T for at tage så mange fantastiske billeder og videoer af os! Takket være T's skarpe øje og tålmodighed gik vi derfra med uvurderlige minder og øjeblikke fanget på kamera. T's entusiasme og opmærksomme omsorg gjorde virkelig vores dag magisk. Dette er en OPLAGT oplevelse i Thailand, og vi kan varmt anbefale guiden T!

Although the temples are really far away from Chiang Mai (3.5hrs/single way), they are worth-visiting. The itinerary was fine, yet the time left for White temple/ Black House were too short to visit the whole as they are too big. The tour guide Apple was really nice. Still recommend!

I was picked up from hotel around 6:30 AM and we are in a small group, around 10 PAX. We arrived around 7:30 AM and we were the first people to arrive at the area. Boat ride was only 20 minutes. It was really beautiful and serene. Pictures don’t justify what I saw in person. The guide was also fun to be with and takes our photos too! Better to go there in AM since it will be too hot in the afternoon. There was a coffee shop and camping ground around the area. I was dropped-off around 2 PM since I waited the people from our group to finish the sticky waterfall. But, the tour guide will give you an option if you wanted to go home first.

Educational, uplifting and very enjoyable experience, knowing that the tour is supporting the welfare of elephants rescued from situations they should never have been in, and learning about elephant behaviour and feeding preferences. Feeding and having close contact with the elphants while knowing this is something they are comfortable with was quite special. Hotel pickup was smooth and efficient, and the introductory talk as well as being educational made it clear what to do and not to do around the animals.

Nui og vores chauffør, Mr. James, var enestående. Jeg bookede denne tur dagen før sammen med min partner, og vi kom på en delt tur med et andet par og en solorejsende. De hentede os over for Thapae-lågen. Vi kørte i omkring en time før et kort tjek-ind-stop, og derefter videre til et smukt vandfald. Mængden af tåge og vandsprøjt var utrolig, men det er ret glat, så sørg for at have det rigtige fodtøj på. Derfra tog Nui og James os med til en Karen-landsby for at få te og kaffe, hvilket var meget velsmagende. Der var et kort øjeblik til at købe nogle suvenirer, hvis man ønskede det, men intet føltes påtvunget overhovedet. Vi fik derefter en dejlig frokost, før vi fortsatte mod toppen. Skyjunglen er betagende, med mos overalt på træerne og fugle i buskene. På turen tilbage ned ankom vi til de to pagoder. Nui gav nogle meget indsigtsfulde kommentarer til den buddhistiske billedkunst. Udsigten herfra og ned i dalen er et af de smukke landskaber, jeg nogensinde har set. Tak til Nui og James for at være indsigtsfulde og sjove.

Chiang Rai was quite a distance, but we made it there and back safely. Our guide was excellent and fun, and took many photos for us. I don't think the Red Temple was originally on the itinerary, but it was included, and I'm glad we got to go as I really wanted to see it. We had to return to Bangkok that same day, so we arrived back in Chiang Mai later than scheduled. However, our guide dropped us off at a spot near the airport where it was easy to catch a GRAB, and we were able to board our flight without any issues. Since Chiang Rai is quite far, I highly recommend this tour!

Chaufføren var meget venlig, og hele turen var pålidelig. Sticky Waterfall ligger i en skovpark i det nordlige Thailand, og vandfaldets klipper er gråhvide med et blågrønt skær – det er helt fantastisk! Vandet er køligt, og mens man klatrer op, kan man komme tæt på naturen!

We are meeting at 6:50 PM near the parking lot exit at the back gate of One Nimman shopping center. Do not go outside the parking lot; keep walking inside toward the exit direction of the parking lot. Because I couldn't easily find the meeting point in the picture, I ended up walking all the way around the main street of One Nimman. The White Temple is a combination of Buddhism and contemporary art, and even as a non-Buddhist, I had things to learn. It is very spacious with many photo spots. Photography is prohibited inside the White Temple. We had lunch at a restaurant near the White Temple and took a car for about 30 minutes to get to the Blue Temple. It is said to have been newly built by a disciple who helped construct the White Temple, and its scale is smaller. The Baandam Museum (Black House) showcases the artistic world of Chiang Rai-born artist Thawan Duchanee. It is quite grotesque. Using motifs like animal skins, bones, and hides, it strongly portrays the themes of life and death. Our guide, Alyssa, explained the temples very seriously, calmly, and clearly, making them easy to understand. Our driver, Mr. La, was also kind, drove safely and comfortably, and handled the long drive very well. You must definitely try the cocoa sticky rice ice cream at the Blue Temple. It is an exotic, delicious, and healthy-tasting natural ice cream. At the Black Museum, I received and ate something like a mini pineapple, which was very refreshing and delicious. I highly recommend a one-day trip to Chiang Rai.

Wonderful experience, highly recommend. Anne and her driver were very kind and friendly. I had a spectacular day with them, and even though the tour is long, they make it super easygoing! Book with them ❤️🇦🇷
