Chiang Mai Province Egynapos kirándulások

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! ✨

A sofőr nagyon kedves volt, az egész út megbízhatóan zajlott. A Sticky vízesés Észak-Thaiföld egyik erdőparkjában található, a vízesés sziklái szürkésfehérek, kékes árnyalattal, ami egészen elképesztő! A víz hűvös, és miközben felmászunk, szorosan érintkezhetünk a természettel!

Csodálatos túra volt egy nagyszerű idegenvezetővel, akit Jamesnek hívnak. Nagyon informatív volt, nyitott volt sok kérdésre, gondoskodott a kényelmünkről, és további helyeket javasolt, hogy teljes mértékben élvezhessük Chiang Mait. James egy nagyon ajánlott idegenvezető. Nyugodt és mindig nagy mosoly van az arcán. Biztosan újra lefoglalnám ezt a túrát, ha valaha is újra ellátogatnék a családommal.

M idegenvezető nagyon kedves és lelkiismeretes, angol és kínai nyelven is gondoskodott a csoport minden tagjáról. Utazás előtt figyelni kell az utazási iroda üzeneteire, az indulás előtti napon még egyszer e-mailben értesítenek a találkozó időpontjáról, az én esetemben ez eltért a foglaláskor megadottól. Az autó pontosan érkezett. 8:50 Chiang Rai forró forrás A lábáztató medence rendkívül forró volt, csak egy pillanatra lehetett beletenni a lábat. 9:20 Hosszúnyakú falu A parkoló mellett egy kávézó található magasan, ahonnan gyönyörű kilátás nyílik a távoli tájra. A tulajdonos nem nagyon tudott angolul kommunikálni, ezért érdemes többször is ellenőrizni a rendelést. 11:30-12:40 Fehér templom (Wat Rong Khun) Elképesztően gyönyörű, az útvonal kialakítása is tele van jelentéssel, a fő csarnokban nem szabad fényképezni. 12:50 Ebéd Svédasztalos formában, frissen merített tésztaleves, különféle thai desszertek, és édes gyümölcsök. 13:50-14:30 Kék templom (Wat Rong Seur Ten) A Kék templom nagy Buddha szobrával lehet fényképezkedni, a templom előtt pedig üzletek sorakoznak, ahol vásárolni és harapnivalókat venni lehet. 14:50-15:30 Fekete templom (Baan Dam Museum) Egy művész magángyűjteménye, egyedi stílussal. 16:30-17:40 Arany Háromszög Park (Golden Triangle) + hajókirándulás 300/fő 22:00 Vissza a Nimman bevásárlónegyedbe, egy órával később, mint a tervezett 21:00. Szerencsére vittünk magunkkal rágcsálnivalót. Az út mentén a lámpák közötti távolság elég nagy, ezért javasolt a gyógyszer bevétele azoknak, akik hajlamosak a tengeribetegségre, mivel a hegyi utak nem túl simák. Bár későn ért véget, az idegenvezető végig energikus maradt, a szolgáltatás kiváló volt.

Édesanyámmal nagyon élveztük az egész napos Fehér és Kék Templom Kulturális Túrát. Csodálatos élmény volt, jó szolgáltatással, és az idegenvezető nagyon jól elmagyarázta a kultúrát és a történelmet. Sokat tanultunk és igazán élveztük az egész utat.

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.

A túra sajnos kicsit kívülről indult, amit önmagában is kárnak találtam. Egyébként viszont teljesen el vagyok ragadtatva. Az idegenvezető hihetetlenül jól ismerte a helyet, és nagyon sokat tudott magyarázni. A kérdésekre is azonnal válaszolt. Különösen igyekezett mindenkit bevonni a csoportba, és tippeket, információkat is adott nekünk. A templomok is lélegzetelállítóak voltak, és egyáltalán nem bánom, hogy részt vettem. A végén az idegenvezetőnk még mini ananászt is adott.

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.
