Things to do in Hang Dong

amazing. highly recommend for anyone travelling with kids. a must visit

There are many animals at the night zoo, so it's best to arrive by 2:00 PM to avoid missing activities and rushing around. Klook said the tiger show was canceled, but it was actually there, which was confusing. Overall, it's pretty good for bringing kids and strollers. The ticket price is a bit expensive, but there aren't many other places to see in Chiang Mai, so if you don't go here, there's nowhere else to go.

Buying tickets on Klook is super convenient. Just open the app, show the barcode to the staff, and you can seamlessly enter the park. No need to queue on site at all, and no need to exchange tickets on site either. Highly recommended!

The tour tram provides a guided tour, introducing and guiding us to recognize the animals in the herbivore and carnivore areas! We enjoyed dance performances and water shows! The most exciting part was the tiger show, which was very impressive! The tiger area is now open, and you can see the docile "big cats"! Amazing!

It was so much fun, lol strongly recommend! lol Touching a giraffe!! I never knew giraffe tongues were this long~ lol The herbivore tram is more fun than the carnivore tram lol But it's not good to go too late at night~ You can't see well! It's better to go early and see it while it's bright!!! (But if you don't have a hotel pick-up service, it's better to buy a product that includes transportation!! When returning to the accommodation late at night, Grab wasn't available, and there were no songthaews, so I raised the Grab fare to get one~)

I had a fun and fulfilling day. I was told that I was only the second Japanese person to participate in this tour. In the morning, Somya, the cooking class instructor, picked me up from my hotel and we headed to the market. At the market, I learned about ingredients commonly used in Thai cuisine. It seemed like I could also buy breakfast there. When we arrived at Casa de Mango, I was served welcome tea. I was given a tour of the garden, and I put herbs, spices, and vegetables in a basket. In the cooking class, I could choose some of the menu items, and when I told them I wasn't used to spicy food, they adjusted the menu for me. I made 5 dishes in a hygienic environment and enjoyed them while talking with the other tour participants and Somya. Water and coffee after the meal were also provided. If I couldn't finish eating, I could take it home. After lunch, I took a nap in the hammock in the garden and it felt great. I felt that the Elephant Sanctuary was a place where elephants could be as free as possible. First, I was given a change of clothes and changed in the restroom. After listening to what kind of elephants there were, and points to keep in mind (don't stand directly behind the elephant, don't stand in front of its face when it is eating corn stalks, don't force it to touch its face, how to give snacks, older elephants are more accustomed than younger elephants, etc.), I moved to the riverside area with a bag of snacks (sugar cane), one for each person. I gave the snacks while following the instructions of the elephant mahout. They also took pictures and videos. After that, I followed the elephant mahout and gave snacks to the elephants in the forest area and watched their様子. I took a break and got some cold water. Then I helped the elephants bathe (optional, depending on the elephant's mood). Finally, Khao Soi, watermelon, and pineapple were prepared (style where you take what you want). What to bring: insect repellent spray, jacket (the van for transportation has air conditioning), sandals and towel (if you want to help with the elephant bathing)

I highly recommend this cooking school. We booked the tour one day in advance. Since our hotel was outside the pickup area, we decided to take a taxi there ourselves. We emailed i-like at 11 p.m. the night before, and they replied quickly, informing us of the exact meeting point. The event was well organized on the day, and the teacher was especially interesting and the atmosphere was great. We made two dishes first, then took a break to taste them, followed by learning two more dishes. The teacher also made dessert at the same time. Every dish we made was delicious. The staff promptly cleaned and replaced the cooking utensils for each dish, which was a great plus. The school's location in the Grand Canyon is also beautiful. This was one of the best trips we took in Chiang Mai. Highly recommended.

very fun and well worth the price physically challenging to an extant but also worth the time would recommend for mostly adults younger kids might not have as much fun
