Ting at lave i Namtok Bua Thong-Nam Phu Chet Si National Park

Vi havde en fantastisk tur til Dantewada og Sticky Waterfall. Koh, vores turguide, var fantastisk. Han var professionel, venlig og meget hensynsfuld. Han hjalp alle med at tage gode billeder. Det var en fantastisk oplevelse. Kan anbefales til alle, der kommer til Chiang Mai.

The driver arrived at the hotel lobby earlier than scheduled and contacted us directly via WhatsApp. The drive from the Nimman area to the sanctuary wasn't too far, but we happened to visit during Chiang Mai's rainy season, and it poured once we got up the mountain. However, the driver was very polite and waited for us to get ready. After a brief discussion, he refunded the cost of the complimentary drinks in cash and continued to wait while we finished our interaction with the elephants. The bananas and sugarcane provided for the elephants were quite fresh, and the staff were friendly to children and helped take photos. The dining area was clean and tidy. There weren't too many people at the sanctuary, probably fewer than 20.

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!

Deedy was amazing and her son, Peter were amazing guides. The food was delicious, the pad kra pao. they were so nice and amazing to us. they were very welcoming. me and my friends loved them. 10/10 experience

We went on the trip with guide James. He has lots of knowledge, great English, and taught us many things about Buddhism, Thailand agriculture, animals, and had an answer to everything we asked. We honestly recommend going on this trip, especially with James!

This was the best half-day trip we've had so far (and our first 5-star review too). We found the uphill parts hard, but still enjoyed the challenge and thought that it was all worth it for the joy of the downhill parts and the scenery. We also felt assured that the pick-up truck followed us and we could choose to rest if we wanted to. Because of the challenge with biking, we felt extra refreshed at the sticky waterfalls; it's a must-visit! They provided a complimentary drink (coffee/matcha/smoothie) before the trip, plenty of refreshing fruits, cold water, electrolytes, and even tissue and wet wipes throughout the trip. The only thing that could be improved was the lunch; we didn't enjoy the food there. A few of the helmets also smelled, but that didn't affect the overall experience.

The cooking class experience was excellent. The market tour guide explained everything very clearly, and our instructor, Mai, was great at creating a fun atmosphere, so everyone had a wonderful time. The food portions were very generous; I recommend bringing a food container to take the dessert back to your hotel to enjoy at your leisure. Also, it's definitely worth paying extra for the air-conditioned room because there are mosquitoes outdoors, and it gets a bit warm after cooking. Enjoying the food in an air-conditioned room is the smart choice! The only downside was that the transfer vehicle didn't have air conditioning, and the staff kept taking photos of us but never shared them. I tried contacting them via email and Facebook Messenger, but received no response. I had assumed that since the staff were taking so many pictures, I didn't need to take many of my family for souvenirs, and now I regret not having those photos. It's a real shame that I can't retrieve them!

While trying to decide what to experience in Chiang Mai, I found this place. It's an activity where you can make Ya Dom (Thai inhaler) and herbal balls, which are signature Thai products, so I decided to give it a try! It was very informative to learn about the characteristics and effects of each herb and to make them myself. Most importantly, the instructor was very kind and made it a pleasant experience. Since I made the Ya Dom and herbal balls myself, they feel even more meaningful and valuable to use. The store also sells herbal teas, oils, and balms, and their effects are really great! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and educational activity!

If you're visiting Chiang Mai, you should definitely try a Muay Thai class! It's a truly unique and exhilarating experience! I booked a group class on Klook a day in advance, thinking it would be less awkward with more people, but I still ended up making a fool of myself. The class started at 9 AM and finished at 10:30 AM, lasting a total of one and a half hours. For the first ten minutes or so, the head coach, Mark, led us through stretching, warm-ups, and jogging around the ring. The Thai coach spoke English, and everyone understood him. Since I was the only Chinese person there, my reactions were a bit slower than others, but I managed to get through the class despite some fumbling. After the warm-up, the head coach started wrapping our hands. After he wrapped one hand, he asked me how it felt. I said it was too tight, so he loosened it for me. But after he wrapped the other hand, I still felt it was too tight. He smiled helplessly and had to loosen that one too. I thought maybe the hand wraps for Muay Thai needed to be tight to protect the hands! But after the class, my hands were covered in marks, haha. Luckily, I didn't get injured. After wrapping our hands, the head coach had us put on gloves and started teaching us basic moves. After each move, he'd have us practice in pairs, repeating until we mastered the basics. My training partner was the assistant coach, "Ice." I often made mistakes because I was too nervous, like punching with my left hand and forgetting to guard with my right. He would tell me that if I didn't guard, someone would "bang" and hit me. Although the assistant coach also told me not to be nervous and just enjoy it, I always had that "good student" mindset, wanting to do my best, which just made me more flustered. In the end, I made the assistant coach laugh. He even started guarding when he should have been punching and punching when he should have been guarding. Seeing how nervous I was, he even jokingly threatened to hit me hard. I quickly waved my hands, "Nonono! You will hurt me! No!" He saw me frowning in fear and burst out laughing. Then we couldn't continue training; we were both bent over laughing. I guess that's my secret weapon in a fight! Making my opponent laugh until they're exhausted, and then winning without a fight. After a 90-minute trial class, I was completely exhausted. My hands hurt from the wraps, and my feet hurt from kicking. Even though I was hitting people, punching sandbags, and kicking tires, I was sore as if I had been beaten up. But it was so much fun and exhilarating! Life experience +1
