Asia Scenic Thai Cooking School

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Highly recommend this cooking class. We did the half-day evening class and felt it was plenty of time. You start off going to a local market with a chance to do some shopping, then head back to the school where they walk you through their small herb garden & give you a chance to touch & smell the fr...

Sak Yant Chiang Mai | Real Bamboo Tattoo

Tattoo shop

👍👍 I had an incredible experience at Sak Yant Chiang Mai. I met with Nana at the in-house location in the heart of Chiang Mai. She spoke with me about the tattoos, the ritual, and the entire experience overall. And then we drove about 20 minutes away to the Ajarn's house, wai'd to the ajarn and we talk...

Chiang Mai -Karen Tribe Native Elephant ( Office )

Tourist attraction

👍👍 One of the best experiences of our entire trip! This elephant sanctuary is the work of an entire village working together to bring an outstanding and educational experience to everyone involved. It is not a tourist cluster to be sure--and the elephants are treated with such amazing love, respect, a...

Tom Yum Thai Cooking School

Cooking class

👍👍 An absolutely unforgettable experience and a highlight of our visit to Chiang Mai. Oun and Kae are very gracious hosts and teachers, who imparted culinary wisdom as well as a true native’s perspective of modern Thailand, it’s culture and it’s future.

A lot of Thai : Home cooking class

Cooking class

👍👍 We had such a great time learning from Yuri and cooking some of our favorite Thai dishes. I am so grateful for this experience with my family. We really liked picking up local spices at the market after as well. We can’t wait to try Khao Soi at home!

Into the Wild Elephant Camp

Tour agency

👍👍 10/10 ELEPHANT EXPERIENCE. RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE. This was one of the most incredible experiences in mine and my partner's life. It ticked every box that I could have asked for - free roaming elephants, super friendly and relaxed, well-fed and looked after and obsessed with the wonderful attendant...

National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT)

Research institute

👍👍 This is a great place for kids and adults. We all think here is way better than the Planetarium in BKK. The full dome theater is great experience with one-price for both Thai and foreigner, 50baht for adult and 30baht for kids. The rest of the exhibits are very interactive with hands on experience....

Elephant Rescue Park (office)

Travel agency

👍👍 Very knowledgeable guide! He and the other caretakers seemed very caring about the elephants. We made and applied medicine to the elephant with an injury, fed the elephants bananas and sugarcane, walked with them and also washed them. They also arranged lunch for us and at the end of the day we re...

Blue Elephant Thailand Tours

Travel agency

👍👍 My friends and I had a private half day tour. Toto was an amazing tour guide, his English was very good and he taught us a lot about the elephants. We hung out with 2 elephants, made them rice balls, took them on a walk and bathed them. The elephants were the friendliest gentle giants! They love to...
