De'Kashor Elephant Home & Hilltribe village

Nature preserve

👍👍 This was an all day adventure and we have a lifetime of memories from it. It was so amazing to be close with Elephants. We were able to feed them, walk with them and give them a bath in the river. This is a truly a once in a lifetime experience.

Chiangmai Hidden Charm Travel

Travel agency

👍👍 Tong was an EXCELLENT resource for many events around the area. We were referred to her by another hotel guest and are SO glad we went. We will always call her when we come or send people her way if they ask for recommendations. She was very knowledgeable about all the typical tours (elephants, atv...

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!

Thailand Mountain Trail

Hiking area

👍👍 Incredible experience! I am big runner — I run an average of 80-miles per week on the road. The trail run I went on with Sebastian was tough for me. I enjoyed that it was challenging and pushed me. Sebastian made sure I was prepared for the run and kept me safe and well cared for during the run. He...

Green Trails

Sightseeing tour agency

😐 Mixed feelings about this 1-day experience, going to the hill tribes through the forest and the to the “sticky waterfall”. The highlight of the day was certainly the trek in the jungle, also thanks to our guide (mr Chai) who expertly led us through and explained flora and fauna when we encountered...

Jungle Flight Office

Tour agency

👍👍 This was my first time ziplining and I was told by others that it isn't a real sense of adventure and can be quite boring at times. As this was a more pricey excursion, I was skeptical about paying such a high price. I am so glad I did and it was absolutely worth the money!! The staff were hilarious...

Chiang Mai Tour Center

Tour agency

👍👍 We went in to the store to find a tour. They showed great hospitality and we're very welcoming. They sent us on a fantastic tour of Doi Inthanon at a good price. They went above and beyond by organising a private taxi for us that afternoon to go to Doi Suthep and they went over a map with us to reco...

Bon Voyage Thailand

Travel agency

👍👍 I booked the Chiang Mai Elephant Sanctuary tour and a Chiang Mai evening food tour. It was an easy booking experience, and when I had to change my schedule the BVT team was very helpful and made it easy. Both packages were wonderful, and the tour guide I had for the food tour was very knowledgeable...

Chiang Mai Condominium 205/1

Holiday apartment

🫤 It's an old rundown building that got some paint and is located well. But apart from that its way bellow standard for the price they call on Airbnb. It's a joke. These places are worth 3000-4000 thb a month and not a week. Seewage smells from bathroom included. Better avoid.

Elephant Parade Land

Tourist attraction

👍👍 This a great place to visit with wonderful people working there. The art is splendid and you get an education about the plight of elephants as a bonus. The museum and shop are open on the weekends but not the production line. Go have a look!

4.60 (122 reviews) (~4.15 km from centre)

Sabai Tour Chiang Mai

Tour agency

👍👍 A very good travel agency. The tours are very good and you can get muay thai fight tickets also. The owner was ready to answer any travel related questions and was very helpfull.

4.60 (57 reviews) (~1.3 km from centre)

31stCentury Museum (Office)

Art museum

👍👍 Its a private studio now, the museum has moved towards the mountain.

4.60 (22 reviews) (~3 km from centre)

Wat Ou Sai Kham

Buddhist temple

😐 Not as big or impressive as many others in the city but over 300 years old, with an exquisite jade Buddha, easily “missed” among the many other statues. Also the murals outside are with amazing details but not in good condition.

4.50 (146 reviews) (~1.92 km from centre)

Wat Daowadung

Buddhist temple

😐 This Temple and the nearby Wat Muang Mang are quite similar in architectural style and decoration with large impressive embossed external window frames. But you can't go into the buildings, so really not much to see here; therefore can't give more than 3 stars
