2025 Mae Wang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 This time we went to Kerchor Elephant Park in the suburbs of Chiang Mai. Buy a half-day trip. It takes about 1 hour from the ancient city to the destination. Once you arrive, the staff will give you clothes to change into. There are also lockers for you to put your things. Next, we will explain some little knowledge about elephants and everyone can get a bucket of snacks to interact with the elephants The elephants are super cute. I was a little scared at first, but they are actually very friendly. The elephant handlers will also guide you to interact with the elephants. You can touch the elephants and baby elephants, but you can't feed the baby elephants. Please be careful. The staff are very friendly and will help take photos. The next step is to walk with the elephants in the forest and observe their daily life. There are big trees in the woods to provide shade and it won't be too hot. It feels very comfortable to be close to nature. Finally, we rinsed the elephants and took a bath with them. The elephant handlers will also check the elephants' condition and will not force them into the water. I think that's great💗 The staff can speak English and Chinese, so you don't have to worry about language problems. They are happy to answer any questions you have. 📍Address: Ban Sob Win Mae Win, Mae Wang District, Chiang Mai 50360 Thailand 🕰️Business hours: 8:00-16:00 #Thailand #ThailandTravel #Chiangmai #DayTour #Elephant #Parenting #NewYearDestinations2025

Who thought one of the places to find cherry blossom is at the highest mountain in Thailand? Normally cherry blossom viewing is organised by a tour group but instead of joining them I chose to rent a car instead to save cost. The journey took almost 3 hours ride from our hotel in Chiang Mai and we arrived quite early but there is literally nobody waiting at the entrance so we paid 0 entrance fee bcs the cherry blossom season has ended so lucky us? 😅 We arrived at the end of January early Feb but I can say peak bloom is definitely in the mid of January. The flower is still there but it is wilting. The exact location is Mae Win,Mae Wang, Chiang Mai Municipality, Chiang Mai Province and you can search google map here https://maps.app.goo.gl/2gbHVHQxxY9TsyTV6 - #aysabellediary #khunwang #doiinthanon #cherryblossomindoiinthanon #CherryBlossom25 #aysabelleinchiangmai #chiangmai #thailand

At the beginning of the year, the weather is cold like this. It's time to go up north. And during this period, many places in the North are blooming with the Himalayan cherry blossoms. It's time for everyone to prepare to hunt for Thai cherry blossoms. Actually, the Himalayan cherry blossoms 🌸 are in many places. In this picture, we went to the "Sakura Tunnel". It's very beautiful. It's a pink tunnel with cool weather. It's fun to walk and take pictures. Free admission. Parking is 20 baht! #WinterAttractions

Sakura Bridge Khun Wang is located on the same route as the viewpoint of the Himalayan cherry blossoms at the Khun Wang Royal Agricultural Research Station. It is located first. The highlight is the garden decoration that has a Japanese atmosphere. There is a wooden bridge crossing the stream among the pink Himalayan cherry blossoms. There are also photo spots at various points, both the viewing terrace and the flower garden on the hill, where you can see the two limestone rocks of Pha Song Ru Du standing tall as a backdrop. #Autumn travel destination #Khun Wang Sakura Bridge

Wat Luang Khun Win, a beautiful and ancient temple in Chiang Mai, in the middle of the forest, magnificent wood art, extremely unseen The history of this temple is that it is said that the Lord Buddha once visited the area where Wat Luang Khun Win is located. It is said that there were two Lawa people, Khun Sap and Khun Sa Meuang, who asked for hair relics. The Lord Buddha granted them and built a pagoda to cover it on a low peak called Phra That Mon Pia. Highlights of Wat Luang Khun Win However, because Wat Luang Khun Win is a temple far from the community, there is no electricity, only solar power, and there is no good road to the temple, making it difficult to access. Therefore, there are not many tourists traveling here. However, there are many beautiful buildings inside the temple, such as the standing Buddha chapel (the glass walking meditation posture), the reclining Buddha chapel (the parinirvana posture), which is a carved wooden Buddha statue, and the Naga stairs, etc. Wat Luang Khun Win, Chiang Mai Address: Don Pao Subdistrict, Mae Wang District, Chiang Mai Province Open for viewing: 08.00-16.00 hrs. #Get a discount without relying on luck

If anyone goes to Chiang Mai, we would like to recommend everyone to go here. This place is called Wat Luang Khun Win, located in Mae Wang District, Chiang Mai Province. It is a 700-year-old temple located in the middle of a large forest. We do not know much about the temple. When we went, we saw it from the pictures and wanted to see it with our own eyes at least once. The place inside the temple is shady and very clean. The Reclining Buddha and Standing Buddha shrines are beautifully decorated. The wood carvings are intricate. The Naga stairs are so beautiful that you have to stop and take pictures. How to get there If you have a large car, you can drive up by yourself, but you have to be quite skilled at driving. As for sedans, you should not drive up. The road is steep, gravel, and has rocky and muddy ruts almost the entire way.

The most brutal road but in a very natural mode. A temple in the middle of a forest in a valley that is quiet, suitable for everyone to come and make merit, travel, very beautiful, worth the trip. The temple is made of wood, beautifully dazzling, the forest is very lush, the temple is peaceful, the temple is in Lanna style, giving a retro feel. As for the reclining Buddha chapel and the standing Buddha chapel, they are made of wood, very beautifully carved. Went on a rainy day, this road is a bit difficult to go up if you are not skilled at driving up a rough, steep mountain road. I recommend using a songthaew. #VisitChiangMai

The beauty In the Lanna style🌿✨ The lights used in the temple use Solar cells. ✅ Travel Recommend pinning Wat Sop Win Mae Wang District and wait in line for a 4x4 car or come with many people Round trip for only 800 baht, I highly recommend it. Because some parts of the road up are narrow and difficult to pass each other. Most importantly, it is best to come from Chiang Mai city. Like me, I came from Samoeng, Mon Cham. Google Maps It is very difficult to find the way there. Even driving an SUV is still difficult. This route is extremely brutal. If you go on a dirt road, your car will break down. It is not worth it. Only 4WD. 📌 Wat Luang Khun Win ✅ Opening and closing hours: 8:00-17:00 (Do not return too late. The road is difficult to drive. If after 5 p.m. Don't forget to close the temple entrance. #Aumjumma #EatTravelSourLikeAuntie #WatLuangKhunWin #unseenthailand #RainySeasonAttractions #ChiangMaiReview #TempleReview #BeautifulTemple #Chiangmai #reviewchiangmai

19/4/2023 Rent a red car for a morning and evening trip for 1,000 baht 🚘 Traveling from Maya takes about 1 hour, about 40-50 kilometers. A raft can seat 4 people, the price is 400 baht per raft, about 100 baht per person because there are 7 of us. It is recommended to eat before coming. When you arrive, they will take you to the rafting point. 🚣🚣‍♂️🚣‍♀️ As you continue rafting, there will be many things to sell along the way. There are many points all the time. There are som tam, grilled chicken, drinks, various types of buckwheat, sausages, meatballs. It is recommended to rent a bucket to put things in. 🍢🍺🥤🍽️ When I went, I arrived at 11:00 a.m. It took about 2 hours to raft. It may seem like a short distance, but when rafting, it will take a little longer. There is just a guide to guide you, but I'm not sure how much it costs. It was so much fun. There were cows and elephants around. The water was cold. I really want everyone to try it in April. It's really fun. I was so engrossed that I forgot to take a picture 😂 P.S. Don't forget to bring a hat and a waterproof bag (they're available for sale). #MaewangRafting #ChiangMaiTravel #AuntieTaeRafting #ChiangMaiRafting #PlayingInTheWaterChiangMai

#WinterTravel This winter, let's stay at Baan Lan Dao Mae Wang, Chiang Mai. The first time we went, I must say that I was very excited because the resort just opened. Using Google to navigate was exciting. On top of that, there was a rainy night and the surrounding forest. It was a great and fun experience. ☁️ . The morning mist is really nice. The bed here is very cute. The white mosquito net is stylish. It's perfect for a sweet girl like me. The food is also varied. But another thing that impressed me is the natural room. It's open upstairs. It's a bit embarrassing. It feels like wow. You're really taking a shower with nature. 😊✨️ . #PaiTravel #paitraveler #paitraveller #sleepandrelaxatbeautifulaccommodation #thailand #waitingforthedaytotravel #missnature #BaanLanDao #ChiangMai #ChiangMaiAccommodation #BaanLanDaoChiangMai #nature

Recommended to go in late December to early January. The weather is great. For those who have experienced bad things, I recommend you to try it. The steepness will make you forget about the bad things in the past for a while. Take a deep breath of oxygen and move forward. ✌️Note: You can walk up by yourself easily. The path is not very steep. Up and down about 8 kilometers. The path is quite steep but clear. In January, you will see red thousand-year roses all over the mountaintop. #tripmission #Chiang Mai travel #Pha Song Ru Du
