Coisas para fazer em Chiang Mai Zoo

If you're visiting Chiang Mai, you should definitely try a Muay Thai class! It's an incredibly novel and exhilarating experience! I booked a group class on Klook a day in advance, thinking that having more people would make it less awkward, but I still ended up making a fool of myself. The class started at 9 AM and finished at 10:30 AM, lasting a total of an hour and a half. For the first ten minutes or so, the head coach, Mark, led us through stretching, warm-ups, and jogging around the ring. The Thai coach spoke English, and everyone understood him, because I was the only Chinese person there, so my reactions were always a beat slower than everyone else's. But despite a few stumbles, I managed to get through the class smoothly. After the warm-up, the head coach started wrapping our hands with cloth strips. After he wrapped one hand, he asked me how it felt. I said it was too tight, so he loosened it for me. When he wrapped the other hand, I still felt it was too tight. He smiled helplessly and had to loosen that one too. I thought maybe these cloth strips, wrapped before Muay Thai, needed to be tight to protect the hands! But after the class, my hands were covered in marks, haha. It was a blessing that I didn't get injured. After wrapping, the head coach had us put on boxing gloves and started teaching us basic moves. After teaching each move, he would have us practice in pairs, repeatedly, until we mastered the basics. My training partner was the assistant coach, "Ice." I often made mistakes because I was too nervous, forgetting to guard with my right hand when punching with my left. At these times, he would tell me that if I didn't guard, someone would "bang" and hit me with a punch. Although the assistant coach also told me not to be nervous and just enjoy it, I always had that "good student" mindset, wanting to do my best, and then I'd get flustered again. In the end, I made the assistant coach laugh. He even started guarding when he should have been punching, and punching when he should have been guarding. Seeing how nervous I was, he even scared me by saying he was going to hit hard. I quickly waved my hands: "Nonono! You will hurt me! No!" Then he saw me frowning in fear, and he also burst out laughing. We couldn't continue training, both bent over laughing. This must be my ultimate combat move! To make my opponent laugh until they're exhausted, and then I win without fighting. After a 90-minute experience class, I was truly exhausted. My hands ached from being squeezed, and my feet hurt from kicking. Even though I was constantly hitting people, punching sandbags, and kicking tires, I was as sore as if I had been beaten. But it was so much fun and exhilarating! Life experience +1.

I trained at this gym again after three years. Compared to back then, there are more staff members, and the facilities have been significantly upgraded and cleaned, even including a merchandise shop. I highly recommend it because the instruction is tailored to your skill level.

I just finished my experience and had to leave a review! It was absolutely amazing!!! I originally wanted to find a popular boxing gym recommended on social media, but I couldn't book for the same day, and it seemed fully booked. Then I found this gym on Klook that offered same-day 1-on-2 sessions. I was assigned KIEW, shown in picture 1. Although it was a bit pricier compared to others, the coach's emotional value was incredible. I was worried about a language barrier and feeling awkward, but the coach was always smiling and gave loud encouragement when I did things correctly. There was never a dull moment. The entire class was filled with laughter and joy as I learned about Muay Thai. I hope more people who want to experience Muay Thai see this gym and this coach!!!!

It was incredibly fun. You could tell that the tour guides were very knowledgeable about the animals, and safety was also a top priority. The group size was not too large and just right. Everything was explained very well to us, and questions were answered. The price-performance ratio was also great. A truly unique experience that everyone should try at least once.

While trying to decide what to experience in Chiang Mai, I found this place. It's an activity where you can make Ya Dom (Thai inhaler) and herbal balls, which are signature Thai products, so I decided to give it a try! It was very informative to learn about the characteristics and effects of each herb and to make them myself. Most importantly, the instructor was very kind and made it a pleasant experience. Since I made the Ya Dom and herbal balls myself, they feel even more meaningful and valuable to use. The store also sells herbal teas, oils, and balms, and their effects are really great! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and educational activity!

My first trip to Chiang Mai on May 8, 2026, left me with unforgettable memories. From JJ's initial introduction and explanation, I could feel the park's dedication to this project, prioritizing the elephants' lives and care over commercial performances. The itinerary included a fruit feeding experience, but more time was spent quietly observing the elephants living freely, walking, playing in the water, and interacting. There were no forced performances or rides; instead, we accompanied and got to know them in the most natural way. I also want to tell everyone that if you come to Chiang Mai, it's truly worth arranging such an experience. Even though the journey is longer, I hope everyone can understand that it's precisely because they are far from the city that they have more spacious land to roam freely. Watching them live so freely, it felt as if I could sense the elephants' genuine happiness and the feeling of being well-treated.

The driver was very nice, and the overall trip was reliable. The Sticky Waterfalls are located in a forest park in Northern Thailand. The rocks of the waterfall are an amazing grayish-white with a bluish tint! The water is cool, and you can interact closely with nature as you climb up!

We were so grateful to have such a wonderful experience with Baan Orjao! The dress-up old lady was so gentle when measuring my body shape with the gown, the stylist was so professional that I thought I was a Thai person. Finally, our photographer was so funny and gentlemanly. He gave us easy commands with wonderful pictures! We found ourselves having another pre-wedding again!

Huge thanks to our guide Jane for such an amazing experience today! They were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive to every detail. We learned so much and had a fantastic time. 10/10 recommendation!
