The Thai server experience was very good, and the photographer also took good photos. The photographer and car service were also very good. Because the weather was too hot, I would like to experience it again if I have the opportunity.

gorgeous place! such an amazing experience. they definitely showed how important it is to save the elephants and to help the small person. you feed them and then go to the river with them definitely an experience worth trying. the only downside was the car they picked us up with it had two benches and was very uncomfortable to sit on for two hours in each direction.

Introduced through the Klook Massage Pass, Fah Lanna is a famous spa and massage shop in Chiang Mai, especially the branch in the old city. It is well-deserved. Regardless of the decoration layout, greeting service, technician gestures, etc., it has reached the 5-star level. You must try it if you have the chance!

Teacher Lin explained Chinese in detail. There were only 6 people in Chinese today, but we all had a great time learning it. We were really full! I learned cashew chicken, green curry and hot and sour soup, it was really nice to be able to choose your own dishes.
