चिअंग मई प्रान्त दिन की यात्राएँ

The van ride was surprisingly comfortable. I expected a bumpy ride but we arrived smoothly. I was the second to board and the last to get off. There was a separate driver. The trip took about 1 hour and 20-30 minutes, with a short stop at a rest area. I didn't need to use the restroom, but a stranger from Thailand opened the van door, which startled me. The driver immediately came over and stopped him. There was also a child from another tourist group in the van, and they were scared too. It's probably better to travel with a group. Upon arriving at New Elephant Home, we were provided with a blue top, optional blue bottoms (no extra cost), a hat, and flip-flops. There were about 20 elephants, and they explained about African and Asian elephants, and things to be cautious of. There were also baby elephants and pregnant elephants. We fed them chopped sugarcane and pumpkin, as well as tamarind, rice, and bananas. We received a cross-body bag for food and then took a raft across to see the elephants. We spent a long time feeding them, and it was fun getting kisses from the elephants. The guide took great pictures. We returned by raft. I think it was a canal connected to the Mekong River. The elephants were splashing around in the water, and we helped wash them. After returning, we quickly washed up. There was a faucet at a good height to wash our legs and hands, and liquid soap was nearby. The restrooms weren't bad; they had toilet paper and were free. Towels were also provided. When bathing the elephants, you'll get splashed, so it's a good idea to bring extra pants and underwear. Wearing flip-flops is also recommended. Meals were included in the tour. It was a buffet with water, pad thai, fried food, rice, soup, watermelon, and what seemed like traditional Thai jelly. Other food items seemed to be ordered separately, and coffee or Coca-Cola were extra. Since you'll be touching and feeding elephants, you should expect to get dirty. Elephants are vegan, so their droppings don't smell bad; it's more like the smell of a rural area without fertilizer, which was interesting. I was the only Korean person. I heard that many Koreans go to Rang Khong. I actually felt more comfortable being with people from other countries, and everyone was very polite, which made it even better. Group size: Approximately 4+2+3+1+1 = 11 people today. Guide: Achin was playful and kind. He will send the photos later. Breaks: There were more breaks than expected, including rest stop time, waiting for the raft, and after bathing the elephants, before changing clothes and having lunch. I recommend the tour. It was fun.

We had a great time on our Chiang Rai day tour! 🩵 The trip was well-organized, enjoyable, and very informative. Our guide (Raine) was friendly and knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about the history and culture of each place we visited. The temples were beautiful, and everything was explained clearly without feeling rushed. Overall, it was a memorable experience and definitely worth it. Highly recommended! ✨

ड्राइवर बहुत अच्छा था, और कुल मिलाकर यात्रा विश्वसनीय थी। स्टिकी वॉटरफॉल उत्तरी थाईलैंड के एक वन पार्क में है, झरने की चट्टानें धूसर-सफेद और नीले रंग की हैं, जो बहुत ही अद्भुत है! पानी ठंडा है, और ऊपर चढ़ते समय आप प्रकृति के साथ करीब से बातचीत कर सकते हैं!

एक अद्भुत टूर गाइड, जेम्स नाम के साथ एक अद्भुत यात्रा। बहुत जानकारीपूर्ण, कई सवालों के लिए खुले थे, सुनिश्चित किया कि हम सहज हैं और चियांग माई का पूरा आनंद लेने के लिए और जगहों का सुझाव दिया। जेम्स एक अत्यधिक अनुशंसित टूर गाइड हैं। वह शांत स्वभाव के हैं और उनके चेहरे पर हमेशा एक बड़ी मुस्कान रहती है। यदि मैं कभी अपने परिवार के साथ फिर से आऊँगा तो निश्चित रूप से इस यात्रा को फिर से बुक करूँगा।

गाइड एम बहुत मिलनसार और मेहनती थे, उन्होंने पूरी टीम का ध्यान रखते हुए अंग्रेजी और चीनी के बीच स्विच किया। यात्रा से पहले ट्रैवल एजेंसी के संदेशों पर ध्यान देना महत्वपूर्ण है। प्रस्थान से एक दिन पहले, आपको बैठक के समय के बारे में एक ईमेल सूचना प्राप्त होगी, जो मेरे आरक्षण के समय से अलग थी। बस समय पर पहुंची। 8:50 चेई राय हॉट स्प्रिंग फुट बाथ बहुत गर्म था, मैं केवल अपनी उंगलियों को डुबो सका। 9:20 लॉन्ग नेक विलेज पार्किंग स्थल के बगल में एक ऊंची जगह पर एक कैफे है, जहाँ से आप दूर के दृश्यों का आनंद ले सकते हैं। मालिक अंग्रेजी में अच्छी तरह से संवाद नहीं कर सकता था, इसलिए ऑर्डर करते समय अतिरिक्त पुष्टि करना सुनिश्चित करें। 11:30-12:40 व्हाइट टेम्पल (वाट रोंग खुन) आश्चर्यजनक रूप से सुंदर, मार्ग का डिज़ाइन भी बहुत प्रतीकात्मक है, मुख्य हॉल में तस्वीरें लेने की अनुमति नहीं है। 12:50 दोपहर का भोजन बुफे शैली, जिसमें ताज़ी नूडल सूप, विभिन्न थाई मिठाइयाँ और मीठे फल शामिल थे। 13:50-14:30 ब्लू टेम्पल (वाट रोंग सेउर टेन) ब्लू टेम्पल में बुद्ध के साथ तस्वीरें ली जा सकती हैं, और मंदिर के बाहर दुकानों की एक पंक्ति है जहाँ आप खरीदारी कर सकते हैं और स्नैक्स खरीद सकते हैं। 14:50-15:30 ब्लैक टेम्पल (बान डैम म्यूजियम) कलाकार का निजी संग्रह, जिसमें एक अनूठी शैली है। 16:30-17:40 गोल्डन ट्रायंगल पार्क गोल्डन ट्रायंगल बोट ट्रिप 300/व्यक्ति अतिरिक्त। 22:00 निमन शॉपिंग डिस्ट्रिक्ट में वापस, निर्धारित 21:00 से एक घंटा देर से। सौभाग्य से, मेरे पास रास्ते में स्नैक्स थे। पूरी यात्रा के दौरान स्ट्रीटलाइट्स के बीच की दूरी काफी लंबी थी, इसलिए जो लोग मोशन सिकनेस से पीड़ित हैं, उन्हें पहले दवा लेने की सलाह दी जाती है, क्योंकि वहां की पहाड़ी सड़कें बहुत चिकनी नहीं हैं। हालांकि यह देर रात तक समाप्त हुआ, गाइड पूरे समय ऊर्जावान बना रहा, और सेवा उत्कृष्ट थी।

मेरी माँ और मैंने पूरे दिन की व्हाइट एंड ब्लू टेम्पल कल्चरल टूर का सचमुच आनंद लिया। यह अच्छी सेवा के साथ एक अद्भुत अनुभव था और गाइड ने संस्कृति और इतिहास को बहुत अच्छी तरह से समझाया। हमने बहुत कुछ सीखा और पूरी यात्रा का सचमुच आनंद लिया।

Aside from the slightly older shuttle vehicle, the entire trip was very satisfying. Although the supplier doesn't contact you again before the trip, the driver arrived on time for hotel pickup. We experienced heavy afternoon rain, but still thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had a great time. Remember to advise tourists to wear swimsuits (because you'll be bathing elephants in the river) or shorts and sandals, and to definitely bring rain gear and a change of clothes! Then you can enjoy the whole process! At 1:00 PM, hotel pickups begin. At 1:30 PM, we depart for about an hour's drive. At 2:30 PM, you can store your belongings in lockers (locks provided), followed by an explanation and preparation of food for feeding the elephants. At 3:00 PM, you'll feed the elephants, take photos, walk with the elephants, take photos in the forest, play in the mud with the elephants, and bathe and take photos with the elephants in the river. At 4:15 PM, you'll be shuttled to the restaurant for a buffet meal (fried rice, fried chicken nuggets, fruit, soup). At 5:00 PM, we begin the return journey, arriving at the old city at 6:00 PM for drop-offs back to individual hotels.

Unfortunately, the tour started a bit outside the main area, which I found a little disappointing. Otherwise, I'm absolutely thrilled. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and explained a lot. He also answered questions promptly. He made a special effort to integrate everyone into the group and gave us some tips and information. The temples were also breathtaking, and I don't regret doing it. To top it off, our tour guide even gave us mini pineapples at the end.

I really loved this tour experience! 🌳🤍 Satin led us to the 'Trees in Water' in Chiang Mai, and along the way, she didn't just take us to the sights. She also thoughtfully introduced us to the history of the area, its surroundings, and many little facts we probably wouldn't have noticed on our own. You could tell Satin is very passionate about this place; she was very serious when sharing information and was happy to answer our questions. During the tour, she even proactively helped us find great photo angles and spots, allowing us to capture many photos we really love 📷. Before we set off, Satin also carefully reminded us of important things to note for the itinerary. The entire trip was meticulously planned, and being with her made us feel very at ease. Moreover, Satin was incredibly friendly. Besides the tour, she shared a lot about local life in Chiang Mai and recommended worthwhile activities. We felt completely comfortable with her, and it felt less like traveling with a tour guide and more like meeting a new friend in Chiang Mai, which made this trip feel very special to us.
