Things to do in Chiang Mai Province

Participated in the event on 1/26, and the staff leading us were Cityman and Wan, who were very professional and kind. They ensured safety before each departure, knew some Chinese, and were humorous, making it a great event experience. For lunch, we went to a beautiful restaurant and enjoyed a delicious meal. The driver who picked us up for the return trip had excellent driving skills and carefully confirmed our drop-off location. The entire team was outstanding. The go-kart slopes during the itinerary were very steep, which was a bit scary. People without driving experience should be careful.

This was the most satisfying experience of my trip to Chiang Mai. I booked relatively late, so I got an air-conditioned room, but I didn't actually use the AC. The regular class for 120 baht is a great deal, but it was sold out when I tried to book. The itinerary was very rich and well-planned. First, a tuk-tuk picked us up and took us to the local market, where someone explained the different types of fruits and vegetables. Then, we were taken to Mama Noi's backyard to learn about the vegetables and herbs grown there. Finally, we started cooking in the kitchen. Each person could choose three classic Thai dishes. Thai milk tea and mango sticky rice were also included after the meal. It was a very filling meal for one person. Ray, the cooking instructor, was very enthusiastic and cheerful, creating a great atmosphere.

Everything is great and a lot of animals there and very safety during the tram see around all the animal. if you booked thru Klook ticket will be included all the tiger show cowboy show wild animal show.

I really, really enjoyed this elephant experience, especially the service from our guide, A! Not only did she explain everything about elephants in great detail, but I could also truly feel her love and care for the elephants. She knows each elephant’s story and personality so well. Having someone like A at the elephant home makes me feel that the elephants here are truly happy and lucky. Also, A’s Chinese is excellent! You can ask her any questions about the elephants, and she will give you very detailed answers. It was such a worthwhile and meaningful experience. I also want to thank Amy for her very thoughtful and considerate pick-up, drop-off, and service throughout the trip.

Brilliant! Our cooking class teacher, Roger, was amazing! His high energy, jokes and magic tricks kept us entertained while learning a lot of new cooking skills. Thank you, Roger, for a fantastic day! The food was delicious and I liked that we were given a short tour around the farm to learn about ingredients we would then use. All ingredients and utensils were provided and they cater for vegetarians :) I highly recommend this activity! The only negative is that the morning market was a bit pointless - we received a 10 minute talk but it was incredibly crowded and noisy and then we had 15 mins to explore the small market and grab a coffee; everyone in our group was finished early so we headed off early; felt more like a stop to take photos for instagram lol and I would’ve skipped it if possible. Everything else was great! The welcome drink was delicious.

I booked 120 mixed massage and it was to die for. I was relaxed and felt pampered all the way. the place is clean and has nice atmosphere. you fill out a form with all the information and are taken swiftly to feet washing and then your massage. after the massage you can enjoy your tea and rice cakes before you are ready to tackle your day fully relaxed

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.

I booked the 2-hour scrub & oil massage course this time. The salon was very oriental, and the tea during the consultation was delicious. The treatment was careful, gentle, and very satisfying. My skin became moist and smooth, and the extra swelling was removed, which was wonderful. The tea and sweets I received after the treatment were very tasty, and I bought some to take home. I think there are many salons in Chiang Mai, but I'm glad I chose this one.

I was very pleased to find this is a cooperative run primarily with the aim of rescuing elephants who are unwanted or unable to be looked after by their owners. The local Karen tribespeople benefit through employment and sales of items to tourists. The interactions with the elephants could not be better with feeding bathing and patting encouraged. The guides speak excellent English and are keen to answer questions and share information. I stayed in the jungle lodge after my first day and found the peace and quiet wonderful after the hustle and bustle of Chiang Mai. The next morning was spent with mahouts feeding elephants and then a walk through the reserve to a scenic waterfall before lunch in a roadside cafe. Another waterfall then back to another reserve for a final interaction with elephants before a bus ride back to Chiang Mai. Every tourist I met over the two days was enthusiastic and enjoying every new experience.
