2.Chiang Mai: Doi Inthanon and Elephant Sanctuary Tour & Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 73 reviews · 1 day · from $93

Travel from Chiang Mai to a no-riding elephant sanctuary, Doi Inthanon, the Twin Pagodas, Pha Dok Siew Waterfall, and Ban Mae Klang Luang. Feed elephants, walk a moderate forest trail, taste village tea and coffee, and learn from English or Thai-speaking guides such as Chai, Jade, and Wan.

“This was an amazing tour first off. We had the best day here. Jade, our tour guide, was so patient and knowledgeable. We felt very included and learned so much. The elephant sanctuary was amazing and quite the trip to get to - bring your motion sickness medicine. All worth it for the beautiful surrounding area with a river nearby and elephants to feed. The Karen tribe was so kind and their handmade textile work is so stunning - we had to buy lots to take home for others and our family and friends. Where they live and work is a place hard to describe with words, simple and lovely.…”
