Chiang Mai Province

I wholeheartedly recommend this Chiang Mai day trip! The entire experience was fantastic, and I must give a big shout-out to our guide, Mr. Poppy! Poppy speaks fluent and authentic Chinese, so communication was completely seamless. He has a fun and humorous personality, constantly sharing local customs and traditions along the way, and even providing detailed educational information about elephants. You can tell he genuinely loves animals; his explanations were lively and heartfelt. The elephants were gentle and playful, and interacting with them up close was incredibly therapeutic. The feeding and walking activities were truly healing and made the trip absolutely worthwhile. The afternoon visit to the Sticky Waterfalls was an even bigger surprise; climbing the unique limestone waterfalls was so much fun, and playing in the water was a great way to cool off and de-stress. The pace of the full-day itinerary was perfectly arranged, not rushed, and just right. Poppy also proactively helped us capture beautiful photos along the way, showing how thoughtful and reliable he is. Overall, the value for money is excellent. If you're coming to Chiang Mai and want to experience an elephant sanctuary plus waterfalls, I strongly recommend choosing Poppy as your guide. I'll definitely look for him again on my next visit to Chiang Mai!

Think of it as transport not tour. Driver was on time and drove smoothly and let us know when to meet back at the van. Loved checking out the Elephant Poo Paper Park (not smelly at all haha) and the Sticky Waterfall was so cool! The waterfall closed at 430 though so we were rushed by the park rangers near the end. Overall worth it to not worry about transportation.

Highly recommend this tour. We really enjoyed spending time with the elephant. We would like to highlight the ecopark to those who like to travel to Chiang Mai as the 50% of the payment will be use for the elephants food and maintenance.

It was quite stunning to see the white temple in Chiang Rai. The blue temple was great too. The black museum has some adult contents hence if travelling with children, you need to be aware of it. Long drive of 3.5 hours to Chiang Rai and back is probably worth it!

Such an amazing tour with an amazing tour guide, his name is James. Very informative, open to lots of questions, made sure we are comfortable and suggested more places to visit to fully enjoy Chiang Mai. James is a highly recommended tour guide. He is calm and always have a big smile on his face. Will surely book this tour again if ever i visit again with ny family.

Our tour guide, M, was very kind and dedicated, switching between Chinese and English to assist everyone in the group. Before the trip, pay close attention to the travel agency's messages. The day before departure, they will send an email with the updated meeting time; the one I received was different from what was initially booked. The car arrived exactly on time. 8:50 AM: Chiang Rai Hot Spring. The foot bath was extremely hot, so I could only dip my feet in briefly. 9:20 AM: Long Neck Village. There's a coffee shop on a hill next to the parking lot, offering distant views. The owner had difficulty communicating in English, so it's best to double-check your order. 11:30 AM - 12:40 PM: White Temple (Wat Rong Khun). It was breathtakingly beautiful, and the route design was very meaningful. Photography is not allowed inside the main hall. 12:50 PM: Lunch. It was a buffet with freshly made noodle soup, various Thai desserts, and sweet fruits. 1:50 PM - 2:30 PM: Blue Temple (Wat Rong Seur Ten). You can take photos with the large Buddha statue inside the Blue Temple. Outside, there's a row of vendors where you can buy souvenirs and snacks. 2:50 PM - 3:30 PM: Black House (Baan Dam Museum). This is an artist's private collection with a unique style. 4:30 PM - 5:40 PM: Golden Triangle Park (optional boat tour for 300 baht per person). We returned to Nimman Road at 10:00 PM, an hour later than the scheduled 9:00 PM. Thankfully, I had brought snacks for the journey. The streetlights along the route were quite spaced out, and the mountain roads were not very smooth, so I recommend that those prone to motion sickness take medication beforehand. Although the tour ended very late, the guide remained energetic and provided excellent service throughout.

My mum and I really enjoyed the full-day White & Blue Temple Cultural Tour. It was a wonderful experience with good service and the guide explained the culture and history very well. We learned a lot and truly enjoyed the whole trip.

Amazing trip with an amazing tour guide and driver! This tour was so worth the money and time because all of the temples were unlike any of the ones we’ve seen in Thailand. Our tour guide, P. Sing was really helpful in taking photos of our group and provided great insights about each and every temple. He even gave free mini pineapples for our group! 100% would recommend.

Everything went pretty smooth and efficient! Onve you get picked up and arrive at the location everything is pretty fast paced and before you know it you are in the air! A very memorable experience!!
