Namtok Bua Tong-Nam Phu Chet Si National Park

Namtok Bua Tong-Nam Phu Chet Si National Park

Colorful Waterfall is located in Mae Deng District, Chiang Mai, and is a part of Mae Deng National Forest Park. The water source of the colorful waterfall is Rainbow Spring (or colorful spring), and the spring water contains a high amount of calcium carbonate. When the spring water falls, calcium is deposited on the rock, and calcium carbonate makes the rock surface less slippery, making it easy to walk towards the waterfall. Even if someone poured cement down the rock, it would harden underwater instead of setting on the rock. BuaTong Waterfall is a very worthwhile sight to visit. But don't come just for the waterfall, but also to see the beautiful forest.Mae Taeng · 26.1 km from downtown

Chiang Mai's more complete elephant park tour is a collection of bamboo rafting and jungle ziplines. Let you experience the feeling of heaven and earth! We will also arrange for you to watch the painting and dance performance of the elephant, the symbol of Thailand, and get up close to the elephant, like the warriors of ancient Siam, ride the elephant and go to the front line. The Chokchai Elephant Park has many elephants and is highly ornamental. The surrounding scenery is beautiful. Elephants are truly multi-talented, performing modeling, playing musical instruments, football, logging, painting...and more!

Elephant Nature Park is a semi-wild sanctuary that primarily rescues abused or retired elephants. The park is home to dozens of elephants, where visitors can interact with, feed, and bathe them up close. You can also join a 4-week volunteer program here to care for these animals that have previously suffered at the hands of humans. Spanning approx. 200 mu of land, it is located at the foot of a mountain on the outskirts of Chiang Mai, a one-hour drive from the Old City. In addition to elephants, the park is home to over 70 stray dogs, as well as water buffalo, goats, and more, making it feel like a large wildlife park. The elephants are all very healthy and adorable—we highly recommend a visit!Mae Taeng · 2.3 km from downtown

"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.

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 🤍

The projects provided by Maetaeng Elephant Park are diverse~ Ride a bullock cart to see ethnic minority settlements and take photos with long-neck beauties Riding an elephant to climb mountains and wade in water, although our weight does not seem heavy on its back, we still feel that it is hard work. But, thinking about it in reverse, if people don’t appreciate it and the elephant park is gone, will the elephants released back into the jungle live a better life? Watch elephants draw pictures (really awesome drawings), play football, and interact with tourists~~ I am very happy to have the opportunity to understand the talent and intelligence of elephants up close~~

I've been there! Beautiful station with cool and comfortable weather. Go camping in nature. The park has tent rental services, blankets, mattresses, everything included. There is an entrance fee. There is a camping fee for those who bring their own tents. It is next to Pai District, Mae Hong Son Province. You can continue to Pai. The journey takes only 30 minutes.
