Things to do in Wat Lok Moli

Honestly, if I could give this tour 6 stars, I would! Our tour guide was Natt, and we were really lucky to have him. He’s funny, very knowledgeable, and explains things in a way that is easy to follow and understand. Throughout the tour, he guided us really well and we learned so much more about Chiang Mai’s history, Buddhism, and local culture than we expected. We also kept asking him all sorts of random questions that weren’t even part of the tour, but he never made us feel like we were bothering him. He went out of his way to help us and was incredibly generous with his recommendations. You can tell he genuinely enjoys sharing his knowledge and helping visitors have a better experience in Chiang Mai. We left the tour feeling very happy and satisfied, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. This tour definitely deserves more attention and recognition. Highly recommended!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend the Doi Suthep half-day tour! The itinerary is well-paced and never feels rushed. Our tour guide, Mike, speaks Chinese, so communication was completely seamless. His service was exceptional; he patiently explained things along the way and even kindly offered to take photos for us, knowing all the best angles. We stopped at a Hmong village for coffee halfway through, which had a wonderful mountain atmosphere and offered an immersive experience of Northern Thailand's hill tribe culture. The entire experience was relaxed and comfortable, making it stress-free even with children. A wonderful mountain excursion in Chiang Mai and extremely satisfying!

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

My wife booked the one with Photographer and tuktuk so I booked this. Baan Orjao exceeded my expectations and we enjoyed it. The photos are beautiful. They let us choose the clothes. They assisted us and the photographer suggested a lot of poses for us.

It was incredibly fun. You could tell that the tour guides were very knowledgeable about the animals, and safety was also a top priority. The group size was just right, not too big. Everything was explained very well, and all our questions were answered. The price-performance ratio was also excellent. A truly unique experience that everyone should try at least once.

We chose Teacher Beauty, and we highly recommend her! Plus, definitely choose the air-conditioned option (since we really hate the heat 😆). I truly recommend this tour! I already loved Thai food to begin with, but the process of chopping and cooking everything ourselves was so interesting and fun. Also, after cooking it yourself, it feels especially delicious XD The cooking school picked us up in a songthaew, which was a great way to experience it! The itinerary is very packed! From going to the market to learn about various Thai seasonings, spices, vegetables, etc., to the cooking school where they also introduce the vegetables they grow (all of which are used in our cooking). Teacher Beauty explained things very clearly; we could both look and smell. I don't know how to describe those aromas, but I thought they all smelled quite nice. Just learning about varieties we don't have in Taiwan felt so special. I was especially impressed by the ugly lime~~ a lime with a wrinkled skin XD I really recommend everyone to come and try this experience~~ the whole chopping and cooking process keeps you very busy, haha! The instructor is very professional! She pays attention to whether everyone is keeping up with the steps, which is super impressive. During the stir-fry dishes, she would remind us, "Hurry up, hurry up, or it'll burn 🤣." Next time I go, I'd want to experience it again and choose different dishes! (I've been back for almost a month now and still can't stop thinking about it 😆).

🐘 "Everything moves slowly, but my heart feels warm." The most healing elephant accompaniment experience! I never thought I would have the opportunity to walk through the forest with elephants at such close range. This experience was truly magical and unforgettable! ✨ Elephant Dream Project is a park that is not overly commercialized and even retains a somewhat raw, natural atmosphere. Here, you can deeply feel the staff's careful and attentive care for the elephant herd. The elephants look immensely relaxed and leisurely. Watching them eat slowly and walk slowly... everything is so unhurried. "No disturbing, no bathing, no hugging." We simply quietly accompany, feed, and observe these gentle giants. This is truly the best and most respectful way to interact with them. I sincerely and highly recommend this to anyone looking to experience a different side of Chiang Mai! ❤️

The portion size was too large; one person definitely couldn't finish it, it was enough for two! The curry and pad kra pao were delicious, and the fried pork skin was also good, with a nostalgic flavor. The performance was very unique, and at the end, they even set off fireworks outside! P.S. The dancers were so beautiful~~~

Teacher Jumpee was extremely warm and took great care of us along the way. We were able to harvest fresh vegetables like basil and lemongrass directly from the farm to cook with. We chose to make curry soup, and amazingly, we started by grinding the curry paste from scratch, which was a truly novel experience. The Tom Yum soup was also simply delicious; using the teacher's special seasoning recipe, it tasted exacty like the ones served in restaurants.
