The best tips for Chiang Mai Thailand sightseeing Part3
Maesa Camp Elephant Show
There are two elephant shows in Chiang Mai and we did both:
1. Chiang Dao elephant show, then bamboo rafting, then lunch, then elephant ride, then ox-car ride. All this in the same camp, then we went to an orchird farm and we were returned by 5 pm more or less.
2. Maesa Camp elephant show. It’s a half day tour and they also take you to an orchid farm. The first tour is much better because you have many activities in only one place, the show is very entertaining and cute, the paintings were beautiful. The bamboo rafting is very pleasant, calm and relaxing.
The lunch was fine and the farm wonderful. Ah!!! and the ride was very exciting took almost 1 hour. But the elephant show in Maesa is better, the camp is closer to the city, more organized and clean and have more elephants. The elephants are much better take care and have better painting skills, the painting were much beautiful and of course more expensive.
In Chiang Dao cost between 600 and 900 bath and in Maesa cost between 900 and 2000 bath. Here in Maesa if you want an elephant ride you have to pay for it. You go there just to see the elephant show but if you want to do other things better if you go to Chiang Dao; but if you have time or love elephants then go for both like us and when we did Maesa, the other half day we went to Samkamphaen Street to see the umbrellas, silver, lackware, handicrafts and of course silk.
