Take an hour drive north to the fertile jungle in Chiang Dao visiting the most fascinating Young Elephant Training Center
where The Ping River flows through.

            See the elephants soak their happiness by bathing in the water, feel free to feed them the whole bunch of bananas and peel a banana for the babe.   See the real show of timber task that  makes you a good impression.

            Have 1 ½ hrs. on the elephant ride to Lisu hill tribe village who dwell in the jungle. Feel excited climbing up & down hill and also walking in the river. Enjoy typically authentic Thai food near the bank  of Ping river.                                   

           Then have another hour on a bamboo rafting to enjoy among the tranquility of local villages.
 Also make a stop at the orchid & butterfly farm on the way back to Chiang Mai.
