Provincia Chiang Mai Excursii de o zi

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! ✨

Șoferul a fost foarte amabil, iar itinerariul general a fost de încredere. Cascada Sticky se află în parcul forestier din nordul Thailandei, iar rocile cascadei sunt gri-albicioase cu o tentă albăstruie, ceea ce este uimitor! Apa este răcoroasă, iar în timp ce urci, poți interacționa îndeaproape cu natura!

Un tur atât de uimitor cu un ghid turistic la fel de uimitor, pe nume James. Foarte informativ, deschis la multe întrebări, s-a asigurat că ne simțim confortabil și a sugerat mai multe locuri de vizitat pentru a ne bucura pe deplin de Chiang Mai. James este un ghid turistic foarte recomandat. Este calm și are mereu un zâmbet larg pe față. Cu siguranță voi rezerva din nou acest tur dacă voi mai vizita vreodată cu familia mea.

Ghidul M a fost foarte amabil și dedicat, alternând între chineză și engleză pentru a se asigura că toți membrii grupului sunt bine îngrijiți. Înainte de călătorie, este important să fiți atenți la mesajele agenției de turism; cu o zi înainte de plecare, veți primi un e-mail cu ora de întâlnire, care în cazul meu a fost diferită de cea inițială. Autobuzul a sosit la timp. 8:50 Izvoarele termale din Chiang Rai. Bazinul pentru picioare era extrem de fierbinte, abia puteai să-ți atingi piciorul. 9:20 Satul femeilor cu gât lung. Lângă parcare este o cafenea situată mai sus, de unde se poate admira peisajul îndepărtat. Proprietarul nu vorbea prea bine engleza, așa că este bine să verificați de două ori comanda. 11:30-12:40 Templul Alb (Wat Rong Khun). De o frumusețe uluitoare, cu un traseu plin de semnificații; nu este permisă fotografierea în sala principală. 12:50 Prânz. Bufet suedez, cu supă de tăiței proaspăt preparată, diverse deserturi thailandeze și fructe dulci. 13:50-14:30 Templul Albastru (Wat Rong Seur Ten). La Templul Albastru se pot face fotografii cu Buddha cel Mare, iar în afara templului există o serie de magazine de unde se pot cumpăra suveniruri și gustări. 14:50-15:30 Templul Negru (Muzeul Baan Dam). O colecție privată a unui artist, cu un stil unic. 16:30-17:40 Parcul Triunghiului de Aur, cu plimbare opțională cu barca la 300/persoană. 22:00 Ne-am întors în zona comercială Nimman, cu o oră mai târziu decât ora programată de 21:00; din fericire, am avut gustări la noi. Pe parcursul drumului, distanța dintre stâlpii de iluminat este destul de mare, iar drumurile de munte nu sunt foarte line, așa că este recomandat ca persoanele care suferă de rău de mașină să ia medicamente în prealabil. Deși s-a terminat foarte târziu, ghidul a rămas plin de energie pe tot parcursul, iar serviciile au fost excelente.

Eu și mama ne-am bucurat foarte mult de turul cultural de o zi întreagă la Templele Alb și Albastru. A fost o experiență minunată, cu servicii bune, iar ghidul a explicat foarte bine cultura și istoria. Am învățat multe și ne-am bucurat cu adevărat de întreaga călătorie.

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.

Din păcate, turul a început puțin în afara orașului, ceea ce mi s-a părut un pic regretabil. În rest, sunt absolut încântat. Ghidul turistic a fost incredibil de bine informat și a putut explica foarte multe lucruri. A răspuns prompt și la întrebări. În special, s-a străduit să integreze pe toată lumea în grup și ne-a oferit și câteva sfaturi și informații. Templele au fost, de asemenea, uluitoare și nu regret că am făcut acest tur. La final, ghidul nostru ne-a oferit și ananasuri mici.

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.
