"Bua Tong Waterfall" in Bua Tong Waterfall National Park (Seven-Colored Fountain) A white, shiny limestone waterfall, a long path, almost 200 meters, with 3 levels in total, suitable for climbing and playing in the water (not slippery, easy to walk, there are ropes to hold on to all the way).
It is not far from Chiang Mai city, only 52 km (about 1 hour). The route is easy and convenient. The asphalt road reaches the park.

If you’re looking for a truly special and memorable experience in Chiang Mai, this elephant tour is definitely worth adding to your bucket list!We had such an amazing time getting up close and personal with these gentle giants. The experience was so much more than just seeing elephants – we got to interact with them throughout the entire journey!✨ Here’s what made the experience so special:* 🍌 Feed the elephants their favourite treats – sugarcane, pumpkin and vitamin balls.* 🛶 Cross the river on a traditional raft, surrounded by beautiful nature.* 🐘 Enjoy a close-up walk alongside the elephants and observe them in their natural surroundings.* 💦 Get hands-on and help shower and bathe these beautiful giants.Every moment was memorable, from feeding them to walking alongside them and watching them enjoy their shower. It’s such a wonderful opportunity to connect with these magnificent animals.

If you are unsure about visiting then change your mind, this place was amazing, the care and attention from the guide and the elephant handlers is second to none. Each elephant in the whole sanctuary has it singular handler, you can clearly see the bond between them. Beautiful, clean and everything you could ever imagine it to be.

Wat Ban Den, Chiang Mai Province or Wat Den Saleesri Mueang Kaen, Mae Taeng District is located on a low hill. Under the hill is a cave which is a sacred place. The temple has beautiful architecture with applied Lanna art. It is a beauty that is imbued with moral principles. It was originally named Wat Ban Den since Khru Ba Chao Theuang Nathasilo came to reside at this temple. From never having a single Bodhi tree, there have been many Bodhi trees. Lanna Thai architecture at Wat Ban Den, Chiang Mai Province In 1894, Khru Ba Theuang Nathasilo, the abbot, renovated the temple. The buildings inside the temple are exquisitely beautiful with Lanna Thai architecture, including the ordination hall, the library, the drum tower, the Inthakhil pillar shrine, and the golden teak wood hut. Mueang Kaen is an ancient city located to the east of Mae Taeng District. Therefore, it is the location of “Wat Ban Den Saleesri Mueang Kaen”, Mae Taeng District, Chiang Mai Province. Garuda or Hasadin bird in the Himmapan forest It has more strength than five elephants and is believed to be the carrier of the souls of the dead to heaven.

An ethical sanctuary where staff speak with care and passion about the animals they have rescued. There seems to a genuine love and connection with the elephants and they spend time telling you about the individual stories 🐘 included in the price is also pick up at your hotel and a delicious vegan lunch. Highly recommend 🤍
