Chai Lai Orchid Eco Lodge and Cafe
Resort hotel
👍👍 Chai Lai Orchid Eco Lodge and Cafe has been the highlight of my trip in Thailand!!! 10/10 would recommend. Some negative reviews on here had me nervous and I almost canceled, but don’t mind those negative reviews- this place is totally awesome. There is nothing like it, truly. Stunning location with...

Wat Luang Khun Win
Buddhist temple
👍👍 The way up is so adventurous (around 1 hr in small, bumpy road up the hill). Small sedan/eco car can still make it though. Be cautious if you would like to go during rainy season. Roads up would definitely be muddy making it more difficult.
The temples up there are beautiful. Serene and peaceful en...

Elephant Freedom Project, Elephant Sanctuary Chiang Mai

👍👍 What an incredible day!! My girlfriend and I visited Elephant Freedom Project yesterday and we're still buzzing from the experience.
Firstly, the elephants! The interactions were exactly what we were hoping for and more, nothing forced, just allowing the elephants to be and guiding us through the...

Kerchor elephant eco park
Tourist attraction
😠 It really saddens me to write this review because going to an elephant sanctuary and seeing elephants has been a long-time dream for me.
A sanctuary is supposed to be a safe haven for rescued elephants, where elephants are treated with respect, care and freedom. Unfortunately, in my opinion, this pl...

Chiang Mai Elephant Home บ้านช้างเชียงใหม่
Wildlife refuge
👍👍 I will not judge if this place is completely ethical or not. I give this place 5 stars because I had an amazing day, elephants looked happy, the price seemed cheaper than other places, and the location is beautiful. Obviously, elephants are trained to stand behind the fence line for feeding or one e...

Mae Wang waterfall
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Good place to see 10x waterfalls all with in 45 min walking distance. Food stalls to buy picnic foods to enjoy when u find a decent spot you like on the waterfall trail. Path is nicely paved/cemented. And sign posted. Spent 3 hours taking leisurely walk and photos. Worth the visit.

Chiang Mai Elephant Friends
Hotel
😠 Please be aware: this is NOT an ethical elephant camp.We booked several days here and had to cut our trip short and leave after 2 because it was so awful. They chain the elephants at night, even the young, instead of providing proper enclosures. What we have observed personally:
1. Chaining elephan...

ChangChill Elephant Sanctuary (Ethical)
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Our visit to this sanctuary was truly extraordinary. Despite having been to Chiang Mai multiple times, we had never taken the leap to book an "elephant tour" due to ethical concerns with the ones we came across. Discovering this place filled us with excitement, and after booking the half-day tour, w...

Elephant Sanctuary Care Park
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Eddy is a great host and elephant keeper.
We are sure that its Tomato and Papaya elephants have the best conditions to be visited by tourists.
We were able to feed them a lot of fruit but these elephants do not stop eating, it is surprising!
During the tour we were able to interact in a natural way...

Elephant Freedom Village
Animal protection organization
👍👍 We had a PERFECT experience at Elephant Freedom Village. They are a truly ethical sanctuary - no riding elephants and they treat their elephants like family (they have been in their family for 7 generations!!)
For the money we paid for a half-day trip (~$60 USD or 2000 BHT), we received hotel pick-...

Tawan Riverside - Elephant Resort
Resort hotel
😠 ⚠️Be very aware that the elephants here are kept in cages and chained for HOURS. They don’t treat the elephants good at all! It breaks my heart when I see those elephants showing signs of stress and are kept like prisoners only for tourists. I regret it very much to spend one night here. Please do n...

This is not a 5-star hotel but a sweet countryside homestay which is perfect for those who wants to getaway from the city's life. I love my stay here and tottaly enjoy it. EVE...

The Maewin Coffee
Coffee shop

It's a great place to stop after riding up to Maewin from Chiang Mai. I had a club sandwich and a nice cup of green tea : )

Maewin guest house and resort
Resort hotel
👍👍 It is a bungalow resort in the middle of nature, i.e. in the jungle. Ergo, one should not expect the highest standards of luxury, it is kept simple. But it is very clean and the rooms are quite large. The focal point is certainly the public area for eating or playing games and sitting together in a...
