On this one-day tour, journey into the heart of Chiang Mai’s verdant highland - to the lush tropical jungle of Chiang Mai's Maesa Valley - and learn the elephant’s way of living, eating, playing, working and even painting. Witness a fascinating elephants’ talent show, then ride on an elephant’s back into the surrounding hilly landscape. A relaxing bamboo rafting experience along the rustic Mae Taeng River completes this memorable day.
