Lalawigan ng Chiang Mai Mga biyahe sa araw

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! ✨

Napakabait ng driver at maaasahan ang buong biyahe. Ang Sticky Waterfalls ay nasa isang forest park sa hilagang Thailand, at ang mga bato ng talon ay kulay abo-puti na may bahagyang asul, napakahiwaga! Malamig ang tubig, at habang umaakyat ka, maaari kang makipag-ugnayan nang malapitan sa kalikasan!

Napakagandang tour kasama ang napakagaling na tour guide, si James ang pangalan niya. Napakabuti niyang magbigay ng impormasyon, bukas sa maraming tanong, sinigurado niyang komportable kami at nagmungkahi pa ng mas maraming lugar na bisitahin para lubos na ma-enjoy ang Chiang Mai. Si James ay lubos na inirerekomendang tour guide. Siya ay kalmado at laging nakangiti. Siguradong i-bo-book ko ulit ang tour na ito kung sakaling bumisita ako ulit kasama ang aking pamilya.

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.

Ang tour guide na si M ay napakabait at masipag, nagpapalit-palit ng Chinese at English para alagaan ang buong grupo. Bago ang biyahe, mahalagang bigyang-pansin ang mga mensahe mula sa travel agency. Isang araw bago ang pag-alis, magpapadala sila ng email para sa oras ng pagpupulong, at ang natanggap ko ay iba sa oras ng aking booking. Ang sasakyan ay dumating nang eksakto sa oras. 8:50 AM Chiang Rai Hot Spring. Napakainit ng foot bath pool, kaya sandali lang ang paglubog. 9:20 AM Long Neck Village. May coffee shop sa mataas na lugar sa tabi ng parking lot, kung saan makikita ang tanawin sa malayo. Hindi masyadong nakakaintindi ng English ang may-ari, kaya kailangan ng dobleng kumpirmasyon sa pag-order. 11:30 AM - 12:40 PM White Temple (Wat Rong Khun). Nakakamangha ang ganda, at ang disenyo ng ruta ay puno ng kahulugan. Bawal kumuha ng litrato sa Main Buddha Hall. 12:50 PM Tanghalian. Buffet style, may sariwang nilagang pansit, iba't ibang Thai dessert, at matatamis na prutas. 1:50 PM - 2:30 PM Blue Temple (Wat Rong Seur Ten). Maaaring magpakuha ng litrato kasama ang malaking Buddha sa Blue Temple. Sa labas ng templo, may hanay ng mga tindahan kung saan makakabili ng mga gamit at meryenda. 2:50 PM - 3:30 PM Black Temple (Baan Dam Museum). Pribadong koleksyon ng isang artista, na may kakaibang istilo. 4:30 PM - 5:40 PM Golden Triangle Park. Opsyonal na boat tour sa halagang 300/tao. 10:00 PM Bumalik sa Nimman Commercial Area, isang oras na mas huli kaysa sa nakatakdang 9:00 PM. Buti na lang may dalang meryenda. Mahaba ang pagitan ng mga ilaw sa kalsada sa buong biyahe. Pinapayuhan ang mga madaling mahilo na uminom muna ng gamot, dahil hindi masyadong patag ang mga kalsada sa bundok doon. Bagama't natapos nang gabi na, nanatiling masigla ang tour guide at napakaganda ng serbisyo.

Lubos kaming nasiyahan ng aking ina sa buong araw na White & Blue Temple Cultural Tour. Ito ay isang kahanga-hangang karanasan na may mahusay na serbisyo at napakagaling ng pagpapaliwanag ng gabay sa kultura at kasaysayan. Marami kaming natutunan at talagang nasiyahan sa buong biyahe.

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.
