[2025 Mae Wang Hotels] Travel Guide for Tawan Riverside - Elephant Resort (Updated Jul)

It was my first time to bring my young children to Chiang Mai. I was worried about the hygiene and food, but when I went there again after 10 years, I found that many large shopping malls and many recreational facilities had been built. The whole community is full of trendy and hipster atmosphere. Among them, the Elephant Kiss is worth recommending. The accommodation environment is good, with independent cottages. There is a restaurant in the park, and the price is affordable. You can choose to shower the elephants, play bamboo rafts, and wake up the elephants in the morning. It can add another kind of experience to children living in the city. The daytime and night markets are also unique. Children can print by themselves, and parents can massage on the other side. Adults and children can eat and buy non-stop. The zoo at night is also worth visiting. Children can sit in the viewing car and feed the animals, which is very interesting.

I had a special time with nature at Tawan Riverside, a hidden gem in Chiang Mai. The experience of interacting with elephants in a quiet river was not just a simple trip, but a true healing experience. I enjoyed a peaceful morning with a fresh local breakfast at a restaurant along the river. What a feeling to start the day with a drink in a space where the refreshing air and the sounds of nature come together! I highly recommend this to those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and feel relaxed in nature. If you want to make unforgettable memories in Chiang Mai, be sure to visit! 💚 #OverseasTravel#TawanRiverside #ChiangMaiTravel

Tawan Riverside is not just a simple accommodation, but a special experience where you can interact with nature! 🌳 In the morning, you can see elephants coming to the front of the accommodation to be fed. It was my first time seeing elephants this close, so it was amazing and touching! Also, eating breakfast while looking at the river was perfect for enjoying a leisurely mood! There were various foods prepared so that you could make and eat bread, vegetables, jam, etc. as you like. 🔹 Elephant feeding & bathing experience available! The moment of interacting with elephants while handing them bananas and fruits is an unforgettable experience! 🐘 You can also apply for an elephant bathing experience, and it was really cute to spend time with elephants playing in the water. 🔹 Healing accommodation in nature Since the accommodation is located next to the river, you can feel a quiet and secluded atmosphere. However, as expected from an eco-friendly accommodation, there can be a lot of bugs, so bug spray is essential! 🦟 📍 Tips ✔ The elephant experience is held in the morning, so wake up early! ✔ Since it is a natural accommodation, comfortable clothes and long pants are recommended! ✔ It is a good place for quiet healing, so it is highly recommended for couples and families! If you want a unique accommodation experience in Chiang Mai, I highly recommend Tawan Riverside! 🌊🐘✨ #Overseas travel#TawanRiverside #ChiangMai travel

#Southeast Asia Travel 📍Location: Tawan riverside - Elephant resort (Tawan Riverside Accommodation) A, 202 Moo 9 T, Mae Win, Mae Wang District, Chiang Mai 50360 Thailand 🚘Time required: Approximately 55 minutes from Chiang Mai International Airport 💡Facilities: Breakfast⭕️ Paid shuttle⭕️ Activities⭕️ 💰Price: 70,000 won (for 2 people) -Additional wake-up call 1,500 baht (for 2 people) -Elephant bath Adult: 1,500 baht (for 1 person) Child 800 baht (for 1 person) ⭐️Rating: 4.5 If I had to pick the most unique accommodation in Chiang Mai, it would definitely be the Elephant Accommodation. The experience here was truly unforgettable. It was unique from the moment I arrived at the accommodation. I had to cross the suspension bridge. Arriving at night and passing by here was scary, but thrilling. The accommodation is in the form of a bungalow, so you can really feel like you are staying in nature. Watching elephants bathing in the water while enjoying breakfast was truly healing. Actually, I didn't apply for the elephant bathing service at first because I thought it would be a little scary, but I really regretted it. The elephants I saw up close were cute and friendly. I definitely want to apply for it next time I visit. The most special thing was the unique wake-up call service here. It was a refreshing and happy experience to start the day by giving bananas to elephants in the morning. Feeding the elephants while interacting with them made the start of the day feel special. As I walked around the accommodation, I could easily see elephants leisurely walking. ⭐️Transportation Tips This accommodation is located deep in the mountains, so it wasn't easy to access. We used a Bolt Taxi, but the transportation cost was more than expected because we had to pay for a round-trip fare. But considering the precious experience I had with the elephants, it was worth it! If you go to Chiang Mai, where you can spend a special time communing with nature, be sure to stop by! #Overseas travel #Southeast Asia travel #Thailand travel #Elephant #Travel

The elephant will leave immediate after the banana finished. #bestexperience #awesomepic #Elephan #elephantfeeding #Chiangmai #Thailand

This trip to Chiang Mai focuses on leisure and getting close to nature. 🏔️🏕️ Instead of just going to the zoo for a quick tour, we chose to stay in the elephant conservation camp for 3 days and 2 nights, so that the children could have a close contact with the elephants. There are many elephant conservation camps in the Meiwang area of ​​Chiang Mai. We chose to stay at the Tawan Riverside Elephant Camp for two nights. 🏞️Day 1 We arrived in the afternoon and first inspected the environment. We saw that the elephants were free to move around, which was very different from the ones in the zoo where they were locked in fences. The children found it very novel. The elephant camp is very primitive, and the accommodation rooms are primitive stand-alone cabins. There is only one restaurant in the elephant camp, but you can see the riverside scenery, which is suitable for checking in and taking photos. After a full meal at night, you can also take a walk around to see the elephants. 🏞️The second day There are different activities in the one-day group. We participated in bamboo rafting (the guide provided waterproof bags and recommended not to bring valuables), jungle walks with elephants, bathing elephants, etc. 🐘🐘🐘🚿🚿 It is recommended to wear swimsuits and sportswear during the entire activity, as clothes can get wet easily. 💦 One-day tours are provided with car pick-up, which is suitable for family travel. 🏞️Day 3 We signed up for the elephant wake-up service. The elephants came to our balcony to look for food. We got a big sack of food and asked the elephant trainer to help take photos. At noon, you can ask the people at the camp to help contact a car to take you to the city center. #Parent-child activities #Chiangmai Elephant Camp #Chiangmai Travel
