Chiang Mai Province Outdoorové a športové aktivity

Toto bola najpamätnejšia aktivita počas mojej cesty do Chiang Mai. Zo začiatku som mala trochu obavy, ale zipline, ktorá rýchlo prechádzala ponad bujný les, bola oveľa vzrušujúcejšia a zábavnejšia, než som čakala. Personál bol od začiatku do konca veľmi milý a nápomocný, takže som si to mohla bez obáv užiť, a vďaka dôkladnému bezpečnostnému dohľadu som bola veľmi spokojná. Obedový bufet, ktorý bol podávaný počas prehliadky, bol tiež skvelý, pretože ponúkal široký výber a bol chutný. Bol to ten najlepší zážitok, kde bolo všetko – od aktivít cez jedlo až po služby – na výbornú, a tento výlet určite odporúčam každému, kto navštívi Chiang Mai.

Štyria tréneri na deväť členov skupiny je celkom v pohode. Jacky, ktorého som stretol tentoraz, ma s nadšením zobral so sebou, takže aj keď som išiel sám, užil som si to naplno. Pred odchodom môžete ich sprievodnému fotografovi zaplatiť 300 dolárov na osobu a na konci vám dá nejaké fotky a videá. Počas cesty mu tiež môžete povedať, ak chcete urobiť nejaké fotky a podobne.

Bolo to neuveriteľne zábavné. Bolo cítiť, že sprievodcovia sa dobre vyznajú v zvieratách a bezpečnosť mala najvyššiu prioritu. Skupina nebola príliš veľká a bola presne taká, aká mala byť. Všetko nám bolo veľmi dobre vysvetlené a odpovedali aj na otázky. Pomer ceny a výkonu bol tiež skvelý. Naozaj jedinečný zážitok, ktorý by mal každý aspoň raz zažiť.

If you're visiting Chiang Mai, you should definitely try a Muay Thai class! It's a truly unique and exhilarating experience! I booked a group class on Klook a day in advance, thinking it would be less awkward with more people, 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 one and a half hours. 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. Since I was the only Chinese person there, my reactions were a bit slower than others, but I managed to get through the class despite some fumbling. After the warm-up, the head coach started wrapping our hands. After he wrapped one hand, he asked me how it felt. I said it was too tight, so he loosened it for me. But after 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 the hand wraps for Muay Thai needed to be tight to protect the hands! But after the class, my hands were covered in marks, haha. Luckily, I didn't get injured. After wrapping our hands, the head coach had us put on gloves and started teaching us basic moves. After each move, he'd have us practice in pairs, repeating until we mastered the basics. My training partner was the assistant coach, "Ice." I often made mistakes because I was too nervous, like punching with my left hand and forgetting to guard with my right. He would tell me that if I didn't guard, someone would "bang" and hit me. 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, which just made me more flustered. 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 jokingly threatened to hit me hard. I quickly waved my hands, "Nonono! You will hurt me! No!" He saw me frowning in fear and burst out laughing. Then we couldn't continue training; we were both bent over laughing. I guess that's my secret weapon in a fight! Making my opponent laugh until they're exhausted, and then winning without a fight. After a 90-minute trial class, I was completely exhausted. My hands hurt from the wraps, and my feet hurt from kicking. Even though I was hitting people, punching sandbags, and kicking tires, I was sore as if I had been beaten up. But it was so much fun and exhilarating! Life experience +1

Toto bol najlepší zážitok na zipline, aký som kedy zažil! Tommy a jeho tím sa postarali o to, aby sa každý zabavil a bol v bezpečí. Zipline dráhy prechádzali nádherným lesom v Chiang Mai a nechýbali ani zábavné lanové mosty. K dispozícii je aj voliteľný fotograf, ktorý za poplatok urobí fotky vašej skupiny. Pre moju rodinu to stálo za tie spomienky. Výhľady, posádka a celkový zážitok mi spríjemnili výlet do Chiang Mai! Vrelo odporúčam absolvovať variant „Extreme“ a už sa neviem dočkať, k sa sem vrátim!

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!!!!

We had so much fun! I would strongly recommend this trip. Mr. K was our driver and guide for the trip. He is one of the highlights of the day. He guided us to the origin of the sticky waterfall. Then, we had lunch and headed to Zipline and ATV. This was the best activity I had in Chiang Mai. Thanks, Mr. K.

Napriek dažďu som mal úžasný zážitok z návštevy Maerim Elephant Home. Slony sú tak rozkošné a celý personál bol veľmi ústretový. Najprv nás informovali o všetkom, čo sa týka slonov, a ako súčasť nášho zájazdu sme dostali chutné jedlo. Toto je skutočne zážitok, ktorý musíte vyskúšať, ak navštívite Chiang Mai v Thajsku.

🐘 "Everything moves slowly, but my heart feels warm." The most healing elephant accompaniment experience! I never thought I would have the opportunity to walk through the forest with elephants at such close range. This experience was truly magical and unforgettable! ✨ Elephant Dream Project is a park that is not overly commercialized and even retains a somewhat raw, natural atmosphere. Here, you can deeply feel the staff's careful and attentive care for the elephant herd. The elephants look immensely relaxed and leisurely. Watching them eat slowly and walk slowly... everything is so unhurried. "No disturbing, no bathing, no hugging." We simply quietly accompany, feed, and observe these gentle giants. This is truly the best and most respectful way to interact with them. I sincerely and highly recommend this to anyone looking to experience a different side of Chiang Mai! ❤️
