The big brand definitely makes a difference! But four hours is a bit too long; next time, it could be a little shorter. Environment: Super beautiful! Magnificent and elegant. Masseuse: Very professional and gentle.

The highlight of my CNX trip was visiting the elephant discovery Chiang Mai. An amazing sanctuary that treats elephants with respect and dignity. They are truly in love with those creatures by carefully feed them with suitable ingredients and providing education for tourism. The Baby elephant🐘 “Forrest Gump” was cute and energetic. Mama Sita, Linda and Singha are beautiful elephants with different personalities. Highly recommend! A high-quality small group tour.

I enjoyed a 90-minute hot stone massage this time. The masseuse was very professional and attentive to every area. Plus, the shop had a lovely, classic ambiance with a fragrant aroma. I was pleasantly surprised to be welcomed with a cute, mini coconut water as a welcome drink. Finally, if you scan the shop's QR code, you’ll receive a small gift!

Besides the location not having many restaurants nearby – you need to walk out of the alley to find more lively options – there are no downsides. The breakfast is very thoughtful, with different options every day. The pool is large enough for children to enjoy an afternoon. The rooms have balconies where you can dry clothes. Having free laundry machines and water readily available is a definite plus!

A must book itinerary. The tour is very interesting and you will surely learn lots of things about their culture, history, and architecture. Our guide, Sunny is very accommodating and informative, we learn a lot of information from her, plus she took great photos and also recommended a good place where they sell delicious traditional northern thai food. Chang Mai is such a gem!
