Lalawigan ng Chiang Mai Mga panlabas at pampalakasan na aktibidad

it’s a tough job. they made it seem so fun and easy joyful like a theme park. some customer are overweight and they had to pull them. salute. it’s safe but tiring. not for everyone. worth the price. lunch is delicious as well

Lubos akong natuwa nang malaman kong ito ay isang kooperatiba na pangunahing pinapatakbo na may layuning iligtas ang mga elepante na ayaw na o hindi na kayang alagaan ng kanilang mga may-ari. Nakikinabang ang mga lokal na tribong Karen sa pamamagitan ng trabaho at pagbebenta ng mga produkto sa mga turista. Ang pakikipag-ugnayan sa mga elepante ay hindi na mas gaganda pa sa pagpapakain, pagpapaligo, at paghaplos na hinihikayat. Ang mga gabay ay mahusay magsalita ng Ingles at masigasig na sumasagot sa mga tanong at nagbabahagi ng impormasyon. Nanatili ako sa jungle lodge pagkatapos ng aking unang araw at natagpuan kong kahanga-hanga ang kapayapaan at katahimikan pagkatapos ng ingay at pagmamadali ng Chiang Mai. Ang sumunod na umaga ay ginugol kasama ang mga mahout sa pagpapakain ng mga elepante at pagkatapos ay isang paglalakad sa reserba patungo sa isang magandang talon bago mananghalian sa isang roadside cafe. Isa pang talon pagkatapos ay bumalik sa isa pang reserba para sa huling pakikipag-ugnayan sa mga elepante bago sumakay ng bus pabalik sa Chiang Mai. Bawat turistang nakilala ko sa loob ng dalawang araw ay masigasig at nasisiyahan sa bawat bagong karanasan.

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

Bumili at mag-book nang maaga sa Klook, at magiliw silang magre-reply para ayusin ang oras ng pick-up sa hotel! Ang buong karanasan sa paglalaro ay napakasaya at napakaligtas, at gagabayan ka ng mga instruktor! Pagkatapos maglaro, mayroon pang masarap na tanghalian na pwedeng i-enjoy! Lubos itong inirerekomenda para sa mga pamilyang may kasamang mga bata!

Even though there was no contact information for the shuttle and no advance confirmation, which made me very nervous, the car arrived exactly on time at the hotel entrance! You can totally trust them. The ride takes about 90 minutes, and helmets are required for the entire trip. The instructor was very fun, and photos for two people cost 700 Thai Baht. The instructor was very enthusiastic about helping us create wonderful memories. It was definitely worth the money!

Talagang sulit ang limang bituin! Napakagaling ng aming tour guide na si Mr. K! Makikipag-ugnayan siya sa iyo isang araw bago ang tour para sabihin sa iyo kung ano ang kailangan mong ihanda. Sa simula, sumakay kami ng sasakyan papunta sa ATV, na napakasaya! Napakapropesyonal din ng instructor, ngunit kailangan mo ng kaunting lakas, kung hindi ay mahihirapan kang lumiko! Masasanay ka rin pagtagal. Iminumungkahi kong magsuot ng shorts, dahil magkakaroon ng alikabok sa daan at maaaring bahagyang mabasa ka kapag tumawid sa ilog! Pagkatapos nito, sumakay kami ng inflatable boat para mag-rafting! Napakakulit ng instructor 😆, binubuhusan ka niya ng tubig paminsan-minsan, at sa kalagitnaan ay may lugar kung saan maaaring lumangoy ang lahat, at hinila ako ng instructor pababa ng bangka 😆! Maaari kang magsuot ng sarili mong swimsuit, siguradong mababasa ka! Sa tanghali, pupunta kami sa isang Thai restaurant para kumain ng family-style meal, na napakasarap 😋, at magandang pagkakataon ito para makilala ang mga kasama sa tour! Pagkatapos ay nagmaneho kami papunta sa Sticky Waterfalls! Umakyat kami mula sa ilalim ng talon, at mayroong maraming ruta. Mag-ingat sa mga berdeng bato dahil madulas! Kailangan mong magsuot ng shorts o swim trunks, dahil mababasa ka, at aabutin ng mga 30 minuto ang pag-akyat, na magpapalakas sa iyong puso at baga! Sa kabuuan, ito ay isang napakagandang karanasan!

There was a buffet spread and my husband who has allergies to dairy, wheat, nuts, and eggs could still have some traditional meals. They also had hot tea and water. There are other drinks and snacks for purchase. It’s a pretty view. We were able to lock our items in a locker for free. They have covered seating with fans and western restrooms with showers (if you get dirty and want to change). They also have a cute gift shop! We visited the female elephants and the babies to feed (food for elephants were provided). Then we got to pose for photos with the male elephant and he greeted us goodbye with a bow. Then we did a 20-25 minute long bamboo rafting — very safe and peaceful then took a bus back (they provided) to the campground for about 3-5 minutes. After that, we waited for it to stop raining and did some ziplining.

It sure was exciting and gave me the adrenaline rush. there were multiple ziplines, 2 bridges which made it fun. you gotta pay extra for a personal photographer that follows you around. this package also included some delicious buffet lunch

I don't usually leave tips or reviews, but I wanted to thank the Myanmar coach who taught us this time. He took such great care of my two daughters. Highly recommended!
