Top Chiang Mai Eco Tours - page 3

Elephants are free to roam, forage for food, explore their surroundings, and interact naturally with their environment. There are no chains, no hooks, no cages, and no performances. Every aspect of the sanctuary exists to support the elephants’ physical and emotional well-being. Visitors are welcomed as observers, not participants. This allows guests to witness authentic elephant behavior—something far more meaningful than staged interactions. Ethical Tourism That Educates and Inspires We believe that responsible tourism can be a powerful force for positive change. At Elephant Pride Sanctuary, visitors are invited to learn, observe, and connect emotionally—without touching or controlling the animals. Guides share knowledge about elephant behavior, social structures, communication

One of the most unique places in Chiang Mai, Thailand is called Bua Tong or the Sticky Waterfalls. Located about an hour and a half drive north of Chiang Mai’s Old City, these waterfalls are not only impressive and gorgeous, but a special feature allows you to climb directly up the rocks into the oncoming cascading water. Waterfalls are notoriously slippery. One usually goes down a waterfall thanks to gushing waters and slick surfaces. So how is it possible to climb up the Sticky Waterfalls? The Sticky Waterfalls get their name from a mineral deposit that is incredibly grippy. In fact, the rocks feel like a hardened sponge. They are callous and even slightly prickly to the touch but surprisingly give a bit under pressure. Since no algae or slime adheres to the rocks, they are the perfect canvas to climb up the waterfall. It is impressively steep in some places, but with the aid of the limestone deposits on the stones, we felt like Spider-Man!

See a different side of Chiang Mai that few visitors experience with a gentle boat ride on the Mai Ping River past old homes and temples. Disembark at a local farm where you'll be served a herbal drink and a warming bowl of khao soi noodles for lunch before returning to your starting point.
