Today's Weather
Mostly clear 18-28℃
To visit Wat Luang Khun Win, start your journey from Chiang Mai and drive towards Mae Wang District. The temple is about 1.5 hours away, and the drive is an adventure in itself, involving narrow, winding mountain roads that add to the secluded charm of the destination.
Begin by heading to Ban Kat market in Mae Wang, then follow Route 1013 until you reach Ban Sop Win. From there, turn right when you see the signs for "Wat Luang Khun Win" or the Karen Eco Lodge. The road gets rougher as you ascend into the mountains, but continue to follow the signs. You'll pass through a Karen village and then reach the temple, which is tucked away in the jungle, offering a peaceful and mystical atmosphere.

Faced the elephants in the room!
Visiting this sanctuary was like stepping right into their environment. It was very different from a ‘zoo’ experience and felt more like just a friendly encounter with these gentle giants while they go about their business🐘#elephant #thailand #animals

Elephun with Elephants at Kerchor Eco Park
Kerchor Eco Park was a fantastic trip. About 30 minutes by car from Chiang Mai city, the guides and caretakers of these wonderful creatures were very informative and taught all the guests a lot of information about the elephants and how to interact with these giant creatures. As well as feeding and petting the elephants, you can also join in a mud bath and river bath with them. It was an awesome experience that I would love to try again.#thailand #chiangmai #elephants
Living Green Elephant Sanctuary🐘
Couldn’t recommend highly enough!!
An amazing experience at a really ethical sanctuary where they really spoil the elephants and let them roam at free will in acres of land.

Best experience with Elephant wake up call
We book this resort at Mae Wang, Chiang Mai thru Trip.com and earn experience with feeding elephant at our room balcony. This is new experience for us and so much fun. You can check with the resort for available slot.
They give us a sack of banana to feed these two elephants. So, its depend on you, how fast or how slow you feed the elephants. The elephant will leave immediate after the banana finished.

The best activity in Chiang Mai
#thingstodo Bamboo water rafting in Mae Wang District, Chiang Mai.. new experience for us. So much fun and cold. The weather was 16 celsius and windy.. some place, the river are so fast. The river is so clean. This activity took about 45 minutes with almost 3km distance.. the captain / guide man is really friendly and always check on our safety. He will make sure our sitting position.
Tough uphill trek but totally worth it!

there are lots of ethnic Karen guides who lead hiking tours around their hill villages starting out from Mae Wang. We booked an overnight trek that included transport from Chiang Mai hotel, meals and guide to see 3 waterfalls, stay in the guide's village, feed and bathe elephants, and ride a bamboo raft down river!
