Chiang Mai 1dagstur: Elephant Sanctuary, konge og dronning pagode, vandfald

We were super happy with the one day trip with our guide Takhsi (sorry for the spelling ;) who was super friendly and professional.The tour was wonderfull and presented so much variety: elephants, temples, stunning views, hike in the jungle, and a wonderful lunch ( one of the best I had during our stay in Thailand). Our tour was scheduled during the hot period of may so we were happy to clime up the roof of Thailand where the temperature was super nice. I definitely recommend this tour. Thank you for the wonderful day

Fabulous day from start to finish, Taxsin our guide made the whole day very special. My husband and I were the only two taking the tour that day, so things were completely centered around us. From our first morning coffee stop, visiting a local market, to the very special time spent with the two cow and calf Elephants, to the information Taxsin shared about Chiang Mai, the Karen Tribe culture, our lunch stop and then visits to the King and Queen Pagoda's, the National Park, the Waterfall and the Karen Tribe village to see the coffee producing, the day could not have been better. It is a trip not to be missed during any visit to Chiang Mai, a long day but our comfort was considered throughout and our guide was outstanding. Also shared with us amazing photographs he took throughout the day. Thank you Taxsin

The day started with a visit to the elephant farm. A great experience to see, feed and touch the animals up close. The farm made a very good impression that the animals are handled well. We stayed about 2 hours with 8 people there. No more visitors. Then we went to lunch and then to the pagodas. Also very interesting with fantastic views. Afterwards there was a detour with a tour of a Karen village with invitation for a village-own coffee. At the end came the visit of the beautiful waterfall! It was a long day (were about 11.5 hours) with of course some distances in the car, but it was worth it. Guide and driver were really nice. Everything (elephant food, admissions) is included in the price, no hidden additional costs

One of the best days of our lives! What an experience, one I will recommend highly. The transport was well organised and private for us, the tour guide fun and informative. On arrival we were made to feel very welcome and taken to spend time feeding the elephants : a mum and a baby! So much fun playing and feeding with the elephants. The Karen Hill Tribe, who are also the tour guides clearly have the elephants interest at heart and care deeply for them. This love for their environment makes the whole experience feel less like a tour, just such an amazing experience! We had a good few hours playing with the elephants, swimming with them only if you wanted to, and then went to a beautiful restaurant with incredible mountain views, the food quality was amazing, so good I asked for more 😀 We then drove to the mountain top, the journey itself was interesting to see the change in vegetation and local villages. The location for the monuments, at the top, is absolutely stunning. The views awe inspiring. Inside the temples is amazing and around them gorgeous and well tended gardens. The whole area had feeling of peace and overwhelming respect for the late King and Queen. The guide was as always great fun, informative and in no way rushing the experience. Next we headed down the mountain road, we stopped at a market that sold delious fruits then on to the Karen Hill Village to try the coffee see their way of life and learned about the late King's interaction with them and how they work so closely with nature. It great to see the various plants and trees, as well as the design of the houses. Lastly the waterfall, which is huge! The guide took us on a walk to come from the bottom and fell the spray it without getting soaked 😀 Lastly a safe journey home with guide who kept us laughing and also have good information about Thailand as Country. Highly recommended. It felt like we had 2 amazing but different days crammed into one! An experience neither my wife or I will regret. The families we met along the way all felt the same, kids faces beaming. Thank you for a great time 😀💯😍

My sole reason for coming to Thailand was to see elephants and my niece and I visited six Elephant sanctuaries. This was definitely in the top two. The baby elephants were adorable. We had a wonderful guide who took photos for us so we could concentrate on the experience and not interrupt it to take pictures of each other with the elephants. At the end of the trip, he gave us all the photos via AirDrop. The trip to the Pagodas in Doi Inthanon National Park was fabulous. Cooler weather with the altitude and beautiful gardens and scenery. It was also very interesting to visit a Karen village and to see coffee being grown and to sample it. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.

Amazing experience and guide tour! Cop was excellent during all the activities. Always ready to help and clarify any question :)

We made the trek over 2 days and it was magical. For the very local stunt. All these moments were amazing, the people at the sanctuary are great and so close to elephants. The elephant was so cute. We leave in small groups for the trek and the refuge offers a timeless moment (with a small cat) Thanks for everything again...

Absolutely amazing tour and incredible sanctuary The best one we have done in Thailand. The elephants all seem so happy and all displayed distinct and funny personalities. The staff themselves were all extremely welcoming and accommodating. They helped, supported, and informed us, as well as gave us the most unquie and enjoyable elephant sanctuary experience. When the elephants were happy to, they came over out the jungle and we could feed them, afterwards we could observe and walk with them as they went back into the jungle, and help bathe them in the hot midday sun! Incredible experience, we could not recommend it more! The rest of the tour was incredible as wel. Beautiful sights

Had a great time! Bamboo rafting first. Then with the elephants 🐘. Lunch and then the trip through the jungle to complete the night. It was a tough trip but it was definitely worth it. You have to be good for this! And it is much longer than the indicated 5km. Don't forget your mosquito repellent either. It was a top experience!

What a very special experience. The whole day was just amazing. It's the closest thing to experiencing elephants as they should be. Baby Bella stole the show at 5 months old by being a naughty baby elephant! Made me laugh so much. We had just one other person with us so a very private experience. Also the trip to the King and Queens pagoda was beautiful. seeing the waterfalls and trekking through the real natural Thailand was just the best with personal touches the whole trip. Lots of photos and videos taken by our guides. Our guide was very attentive and looked after us the entire day. The highlight was bathing the elephants in the water which they just loved! What a wonderful experience. Thank you for loving and taking care of those elephants and thank you for making great memories for us. 🐘 ❤️
