Thai Elephant Conservation Center

Nature & Parks
The Thai Elephant Conservation Center, located just a 30-minute drive from Lampang, is a government-run facility dedicated to the preservation and care of Thailand's elephants. Visitors can engage in various activities such as feeding and bathing the elephants, watching them create art, and learning about conservation efforts. The center also features daily elephant shows showcasing traditional logging techniques and painting demonstrations. Additionally, it hosts the annual Khan Tok Chang festival celebrating the cultural significance of elephants in Thai society.
My friend and I had a good time observing elephants taking shower with staffs, their performance and artworks. There are souvenirs shop, canteen and accommodations. They have hospital and nursery for elephants. We were on an elephant ride with a staff. It was a great experience

Easily accessible from the main highway in any direction with clear signs that provide visitors with the necessary information on what is what and where, in both Thai and English languages. The entire land layout is divided into sections such as the elephant show, elephant hospital, elephant rehabilitation, and so on. There was no entry fee to the place, however, there are tickets stalls for different events. Because it was midday and hot, nothing much was happening other than elephant back riding which we couldn’t do as it was too hot for us and the elephants too. Elephants back riding costs around THB 140 for a 10 minutes journey. There were small restaurants and coffee shop serving limited selection of local dishes too. Strange enough, the majority of the visitors were locals and it looked like we were the only tourists there. It was very quiet and looked semi deserted, but it should deserve better.

This isn't an elephant show or entertainment park. There are limited activities, all focused on the deep relationship between elephants and Thai people. I've seen many foreign reviews alleging animal cruelty and forced behavior. Do you really understand "Asian elephants"? This facility cares for both domesticated and wild elephants, and I believe their methods are appropriate for the elephants' well-being and natural environment. Please don't judge based on a limited or biased viewpoint.
Pisanu.n — Google review
When we entered the ticket booth, I saw an elephant next to it walking freely. I thought the elephant would have some freedom and would be taken care of. When we entered the park, I saw the elephants being chained with a small metal chain. They looked distressed and wanted to roam around of course. They showed monotone behavior (head swaying from one side to the other, even the little ones) which tells me they are not being good taken care of. Later we walked to the bathing area. The keepers would hit an elephant with the hook. I already wanted to go out, but then we just walked away. It's a shame that this is how elephants are being taken care of in a conservation center. Give the elephants some natural ground to roam around with an electric fence/natural barrier. The hook and so on isn't animal friendly at all. For me it was a waste of money seeing they profit of this kind of behavior.
Tom O — Google review
We visited Thai elephant conservative centre on a weekday and arrived early, so the place was very quiet with hardly any other visitors. It made the experience feel even more special and personal. There are two elephant shows during the day — we watched the elephants painting and showing different skills such as pulling logs, dragging timber, and even playing sports. The highlight for us was definitely joining the elephant bathing at 13:30. It lasted about 20 minutes and was truly one of the most amazing experiences of our lives. Being so close to these gentle giants in the water was unforgettable. Highly recommended if you want a unique and meaningful encounter with elephants in Thailand! 🐘💦
Duangrat W — Google review
I love elephants so wanted to see this place but it was a bit disappointing. The shows are only every 90 minutes or so and you need to check the times otherwise there's not much else to see. We missed a show but didn't want to wait for the next one so just got a bus to the elephant paddock. Most were chained and clearly stressed. Probably wouldn't go back

My visit to the Elephant Conservation Center near Chiang Mai was excellent and exactly what I hoped for. The atmosphere is noticeably peaceful , a huge plus if you want to avoid the typical tourist rush and chaos that can plague other spots. What struck me most was the large number of magnificent elephants and the genuine care they receive. The staff are truly friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about their conservation work, which made the experience feel very professional and informative. If your travel goal is a quiet, respectful, and less crowded opportunity to observe elephants, make this center your top choice!

The animal abuse was soil crushing. I’m so ashamed my volunteer group took us here. They would hit the elephants with metal hooks and they would cry out in pain. This place needs to be closed down permanently.

(Translated by Google) Go during the month of May. Look at the well-designed place. There are a lot of places to walk around. But there are quite a few places to rest. There is a small garden that looks quite colorful. There is a parking lot and a building for organizing small activities. But while we were there, there were quite a lot of leaves. So it looks a bit worn out. (I'm not sure if it was a period with few people or not, so I didn't really take care of it.)​ It used to be like there used to be an open zoo. But when I went it was closed. Not sure if it's closed permanently or not. (Original) ไปช่วงเดือนพฤษภา​คม​ ดูสถานที่ออกแบบมาดี มีที่เดินเล่นเยอะ แต่ที่นั่งพักค่อนข้างน้อย มีสวนเล็ก ๆ พอดูมีสีสัน มีที่จอดรถและอาคารไว้จัดกิจกรรมเล็ก ๆ น้อย ๆ ได้ แต่ขณะไปมีใบไม้ค่อนข้างรก เลยดูออกโทรมหน่อย (ไม่แน่ใจว่าเป็นช่วงคนน้อยหรือเปล่าเลยไม่ค่อยดูแล)​ เดิมเหมือนเคยมีสวนสัตว์เปิด แต่ขณะไปปิดอยู่ ไม่แน่ใจว่าปิดถาวรหรือไม่

(Translated by Google) Drive from Lamphun down to Doi Khun Tan and pass the Thai Elephant Conservation Center for another 3 kilometers. You will see a sign for "Thung Kwian Forest Park" and a deer statue on the left. Turn onto rural highway L.P. 2301 and you'll be there in a bit. "Thung Kwian Forest Park Office" is surrounded by a large forest park and sustainable teak forest, 15,127 rai, with many different types of trees. This forest park may not be of interest to foreign tourists. But it is a recreational place for Thai people on the Chiang Mai-Lampang route that is worth stopping by. There is a parking lot inside where you can walk down to see the gardens, the monument to Prof. Dr. Amnuay Kovanich, and the museum. There is also a small open zoo near the lake. You can look for a little deer hidden in the bushes. At the same time, there were peacocks screeching along on the side of the road. There is also a pavilion for sitting and resting. In fact, before it was just a dilapidated concession forest, it took more than 40 years to restore it. Even today, large trees are rarely found. Still, I can say it's "beautiful"...

Chae Son National Park

Mentioned on

National park
Nature & Parks
Nestled in a vast and picturesque landscape, Chae Son National Park is a haven of natural beauty. The park boasts mountains, forests, and stunning waterfalls, as well as year-round hot springs that are a major attraction. Visitors can immerse themselves in the rich forestland teeming with streams and wildlife. A highlight is the Chae Son Hot Wells, where natural hot water pools allow for unique experiences like boiling eggs or indulging in mineral baths.
Good hotspring with cold and hot water. You can buy raw eggs and boiled it as well. You can also take a bath privately, but for me the mineral foot bath is the best. Waterfall itself not far from here not recommend to swim at the waterfall since the hotspring will be better.
Grady L — Google review
I really enjoyed my visit, ended up spending most of my day here. There are 2 attraction in the main area: the Chae Son Hot Springs & the Chae Son Waterfall. The price is 200 TBH for foreigners, 100 TBH for Thais. The Hot Springs are extremely popular with domestic tourists. The main activities are boiling eggs, soaking the feet in the hot springs, and pickniking. The site is beautiful. Food and drink are available. The ticket includes access to a foot soaking area, small outdoor hot pools, and a stream where you can take a dip. The private bath areas are beautiful and cost only 50 TBH. Towels are available for rent. It's okay if you don't have a swimsuit, the rooms are fully private. There's also a massage pavilion, the price of a massage is only 200-300 TBH. You need to wait until a masseuse becomes available and they'll come get you, there's no front desk. For hikers, this is really an onsen first and national park second. There's only a very short path to the waterfall. The waterfall itself is unremarkable and swimming under it is prohibited. To get there, follow the stream up from the hot springs. The trail isn't marked so I ended up walking on the road. The trail is blocked beyond the 6th level of the waterfall. There was a signpost claiming that there's a 5km trail to the Mae Mon & Mae Khun Waterfalls. I couldn't find any info on this trail. There's also allegedly a "Mae Piak Nature Trail" somewhere in the park, but I couldn't locate this either. It's possible that the blocked off trail leads to these and you need to hire a guide to hike there. The park also allegedly has caves, couldn't get any info on them either. I gave it one star less because of the lack of hiking trails.
Antonija M — Google review
What an elegant park to visit. I almost thought I was back in Japan. It was that manicured especially in the hot springs area. The waterfall is impressive too with a small wall to the base leading up to the waterfall proper. Well worth a visit and can be easily combined with a visit the the sky temple, not 30 minutes up the road.
Maarten D — Google review
🌿 I visited the beautiful Chae Son National Park for 2 days and stayed one night at the campsite. If you’re driving from Chiang Mai, I highly recommend taking Route 1252. I mistakenly took the route through Mae Kampong village, which was very steep and challenging — not suitable for small cars like a Mazda 2 😄 🎟️ Entrance fee is 200 THB for foreigners, regardless of having a Thai work permit or pink card. Each national park in Thailand has its own policy, so always check ahead. The park is great for kids, with hot springs and a waterfall to explore. As other reviews mentioned: the bathrooms are clean and well-maintained. 💦 I definitely recommend taking an onsen bath at the hot springs — mine was 40°C and incredibly relaxing. They allow you to soak for 15 minutes, which was perfect. ☔ The only downside during our stay was the heavy rain, but despite that, we still had a lot of fun here. Highly recommended!

Great place to relax! Big and scenic area with multiple hot springs. You can boil eggs, have a picnic, massage and soak in one of private onsen cabins. Also there are bungalows for overnight rent. Foreigner entrance fee is 200 THB. Visit date: 26 Oct 2025

Juul L — Google review
Great experience to feel the warmth coming from the spring and be able to use it for footbathing. You can rent a towel for 20 BTH. People buy eggs at the 3 shops higher up inside the park itsself and slowboil them in the hot water. You can also find a waterfall there with a trail besides it that goes far up. Very affordable entry, 200 BTH per adult (think it was 50 BTH for resident and 20 BTH for parking or the other way around). Only the road to there from Chiang-Mai was very long through the forest (2h almost).

Wat Phrathat Lampang Luang is a remarkable 13th-century Buddhist complex located in the Lampang Luang Sub-District of Koh Kah District. It is renowned for its Northern Thai Lanna style and houses numerous temples, including one that enshrines a relic believed to be a hair donated by Lord Buddha. The temple's pristine preservation showcases exemplary Lanna religious architecture, with minor renovations maintaining its original style.
Love this temple, very nice architectural elements and paintings, not to mention how beautiful their Buddha figures are. Parking lot was spacious and close enough to walk to the temple. All the merchants around were polite and kind.

An interesting and impressive display of magnificent structures. Plenty of various activities were performed. There were many visitors, some coming in tour coaches, while others flock in on foot or private transportation, to admire this marvel, or perform their rituals and prayers. The place was practically full of tourists that come from everywhere. Beautiful, and must see.

◽️Highlights & Must-Do: •Upside-down reflection of the stupa – Traditionally viewed inside the ordination hall (currently under renovation). You can still see it in the side viharn on the left; look carefully on the right-hand table once you step inside. •Circumambulation (Walking Meditation) around the stupa – The temple provides flowers, incense, and candles for offerings, for 20 THB for a donation. •Ancient Lanna murals – Located in an open viharn at the entrance, these are among the few surviving Lanna-style wall paintings in Thailand. •Bullet marks on the iron fence around the stupa, with interesting historical stories. 💰 Entrance Fee: 40 THB for foreigners.

On one hand it’s a must see of historical and cultural significance. On the other hand if you have limited time in Lampang it’s out of the way. A Grab from city center will cost you about 170-200฿ each way. Temple entrance fee for foreigners is 40฿ if the person collecting has change. The trip is about 30 min (over 20km) each way and you can see everything in less than an hour. So if you have 2 hours and 500฿ it’s worth going. Honestly it’s a bit underwhelming compared to other sights in Chiang Mai area. However, it is nice to stroll around and take in the ambiance.

Excellent place and great location. Wat Phra That Lampang Luang is an important historical site located in the ruins of the ancient city of Lampang. According to history, Queen Chamadevi once came to pay homage and has been renovating and repairing it regularly. It is considered an important temple of the city since ancient times. It is beautiful and has excellent architecture, sculptures, and paintings. It is the place where Phra Kaew Don Tao, which is highly revered, is enshrined.

We both enjoyed our visit. Its a working Temple. Located just over the Wang River from the main tourist area of Lampang City. Can I just apogise for the next part : so many of you advertise this as a UNESCO site!!! It's not, so please do your research before visiting thinking its a UNESCO site. It received a UNESCO award of merit in 2008 (as per the signage at the main gate), which does not make it a UNESCO site. It's joined to a second Wat and easy to walk around. Beware of the black cat that hangs around opposite the main entrance to this temple. It's got a lovely collar and is very much domesticated, but wow, it feins friendship so easily and I'm sure I'm not the first tourist its drawn blood from. If it falls onto its back in the hope of a belly rub, don't fall for that trick. Overall, an enjoyable 30 minutes walk around the temple (s).

Typical Thai temple, currently under construction (April 2019). I went very early in the morning, to avoid the heat and other people. I enjoyed walking around, but I wouldn't come to Lampang just to see this temple.

Baan Sao Nak is a historic teak-wood Lanna-style house built in 1895, featuring traditional furnishings and architecture. Restored multiple times, this remarkable structure stands on 116 wooden posts and once served as a resting place for important visitors to Lampang. The house reflects the influence of Burmese and Lanna architecture, showcasing the wealth of Lampang's teak barons.
A historical house to understand history of Lampang. Great place for chill out for 1-2 hour. The architecture of the building is unique and reflect the traditional of Thailand architecture.

Baan Sao Nak is great! It's an old teak wood house that's currently buckling a little under the weight of the wood. It was a rich family's house but now they turned it into a museum, which I think is really cool. It's only 50 baht, and it's the same price for Thai people and foreigners. The lady that gave my tour was friendly and helpful. And the tour guide was very knowledgeable. The price of the tour includes a small traditional beverage and some rice crackers. It's great value.

Magnificently built located a few kilometres away from downtown and housed a 15th century solid gold image of Buddha inside the praying hall. A large golden chedi stands tall inside the compound.

Dhanabadee Ceramic Museum

Guided tours of the creation process in a factory producing traditional, hand-painted rice bowls.
We thoroughly enjoyed our guided tour of the Ceramic Museum. It was fascinating to learn about the history and to see the old dragon kiln. We bus have a new appreciation of the bowls our noodles come in. Well worth the 100b entry fee which also gave us a discount at the shop and the cafe.

This is a good place to visit but our tour felt rather rushed. Would be nice to be taken round with enough time to read a bit more of the information or be able to go at your own pace. Tour guide was good though and informative for the main information that you require. The shop was reasonably priced.
Robert S — Google review
Dhanabadee Ceramic Museum is a perfect place to get a first hand experience on how to make a chicken bowl. The process was founded way back from China and brought to Thailand. The designs and details were meticulously hand-painted. Because of their unique techniques, it made the city as one of the exporters of chicken bowls and ceramic creations in the country and overseas. Plus, you can see a bowl made out of real gold. Be sure to check it out. As a tourist, it is definitely an additional to your list when visiting Chiang Mai! My boyfriend and I enjoyed a lot!

I recently visited this museum after seeing all the glowing 5-star reviews online, but what a disappointment! It quickly became clear that many of these positive reviews are fake. The exhibits were poorly maintained, there was little educational value, and the staff seemed uninterested in helping visitors. It felt like the museum was more concerned with creating a false image online than actually delivering a quality experience. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time or money here. It’s sad that they resort to using fake accounts to boost their ratings instead of improving the experience for guests

Not really sure what the negative reviews are on about, this was the highlight of our visit to Lampang and was absolutely worth the money (100 baht entrance fee). There are guided tours every hour and our guide, Fay, was amazing, speaking in both Thai and English to the group. She and the other staff were also very friendly and helpful with answering questions we had about our time in Lampang. You get to learn the whole history and process of the chicken bowl, which is still made by hand at the museum/factory today. If you’re interested in history, arts, culture, you shouldn’t miss it!

Wiang Kosai National Park, located in the districts of Wang Chin and Phrae, is a serene natural escape from city life. The park is home to various wildlife such as muntjac and flying squirrels. Visitors can enjoy woodland hikes leading to cascades and thermal springs. One of the park's highlights is the Maekoeng waterfall, surrounded by lush greenery. The management office on Route 1123 offers friendly assistance and camping options nearby.
Beautiful and quiet. It's a little bit of problematic with small children. If you get here go to the top waterfall .

A Hidden Natural Wonderland in Northern Thailand If you’re craving a true escape into untouched nature, Wiang Kosai National Park is an absolute dream. Located between Lampang and Phrae provinces, this national park is still relatively unknown to most tourists—which makes it even more magical. I visited recently, and it completely exceeded my expectations in every way. 🌲 Dense Forests, Waterfalls & Wildlife From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped by lush green forests, the scent of damp earth, and the sound of birds echoing through the trees. The park is covered with rich teak and mixed deciduous forest, giving it a wild, untouched feel. It’s the kind of place where you immediately feel connected to the natural world. One of the highlights of my visit was the stunning Mae Koeng Luang and Mae Koeng Noi Waterfalls—multi-tiered falls with crystal-clear water cascading over smooth stones. There are well-marked trails that take you to each tier, and though the hike can get steep in places, it’s absolutely worth it. The views are breathtaking, and the sound of water rushing through the jungle is incredibly soothing. 🐒 A Place to Breathe, Reflect, and Explore I was lucky enough to spot monkeys, butterflies, and a variety of birds during my walk. The biodiversity here is impressive, and because it’s not overly commercialized, you can really enjoy the serenity without crowds or noise. There are also cool viewpoints scattered throughout the park—some offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, others hidden deeper within the trees where you can sit and take it all in. 🏕️ Camping & Facilities If you’re into camping, Wiang Kosai has designated camping areas with basic amenities. You can bring your own tent or rent one on-site. I didn’t camp this time, but I’d love to return and spend a night under the stars—it’s the perfect place for it. There’s also a visitor center near the entrance where the rangers are friendly and can help with maps or tips on where to go based on the season. 🚗 Getting There The park is best reached by car or motorbike. It’s about an hour from Phrae or Lampang, and the drive itself is scenic and enjoyable, especially as you get closer to the park boundaries and the mountains rise around you.

Tham Pha Thai National Park, located about 60 kilometers south of Lampang, Thailand, is a breathtaking natural attraction that draws visitors with its stunning limestone cave system. The park offers an opportunity to explore rainforest hikes leading to cliffside caves adorned with dramatic stalactites and stalagmites. One of the unique aspects of this park is the free admission for all visitors.
Great cave, free entrance. Well preserved. You need to climb steep stairs to get to the cave. There's an officer waiting to show you around. You can walk 450m into the cave. Some area can be a bit slippery. There are bats in the cave. Best to visit this place in the morning to see light beams shining through the cave.

A cave in the middle of nowhere on the way to the North. No entrance fee at all which is a big plus BUT you really have to walk quite a bit to get to the cave and the way up is super steep.
Pongsatorn H — Google review
This place is a miracle in Thailand, where foreigners usually pay five times more than Asians to enter the national park. Admission to Tham Pha Thai is FREE for all. A cave of the same name is spacious and about 400-500 m depth. To enter there, you need a local guide. Usually, it's a ranger, but on weekends, the local children assist the visitors. Being just about 12-15 y. o., they can tell you about this place, show the most remarkable places inside. They spoke in Thai only, but they promised to learn English. So adorable. They help doesn't have an official price, so don't hesitate to donate them for their kindness. I'm very thankful to the staff and plan to revisit the cave. This time, with a tripod and different lenses. In my list of beautiful caves in Northern Thailand, Tham Pha Thai is in the top 5.

This place is an amazing, unsen part of Thailand, let a lone Lampang. It is just off of Highway 1 as you are going to Phayao. The admission fee is an amazing price of...FREE. When you arrive, you can get a local guide to go with you, so you won't be entering the cave alone. Some of the structures inside the cave range from 15 years to 8 million years old! And, if you enter the cave at the right time, you can see the magnificent rays that come out of the holes from the top of the cave (around 9-10 am). How to get there: You can take a mini bus starting in from of the vocational college. They run pretty much ever thirty minutes. You can tell the driver to drop you off at "Tham Pha Thai National Park." Once you arrive, it is about a 20 minute walk to the entrance of the cave. Once you have completed your journey, make your way to a local bus stop to flag down a mini bus to take you back to Lampang. You can also stay the night as well. Contact the national park. They have many sleeping accommodations.

Wat Phrathat Si Don Kham, located in Long Town, Phrae, is a historic temple with a rich cultural heritage. Built in 1955 by merging two ancient temples, it houses a remarkable collection of antique Buddha statues and an old chedi. The temple also features a local museum showcasing rare photographs depicting rural Thai life over the past century. While not widely recognized as a top tourist destination in Thailand, it offers valuable insights into northern Thai life and history.
Very distinct Buddha statues well presented. There is a museum that curates local old photographs giving a very clear and realistic picture of rural Thai life over the past 100 years. Not one of the top 100 destinations in Thailand but well worth it for the student of northern Thai life.

Boon Lott’s Elephant Sanctuary (BLES)

Recently, I watched an episode of Dodo Heroes on Discovery Channel showcasing the remarkable work being done at BLES, an ecological park founded by Cath and her husband. The couple's love for elephants and dedication to animal welfare is truly inspiring. BLES offers a sanctuary for rescued elephants where they can live out their lives in peace and freedom. It was heartwarming to see the happy interactions between humans and animals at the park.
My husband and I visited BLES for our anniversary in 2019 and had the most amazing time. Everyone at BLES genuinely loves and cares for not just the elephants but all the animals that are rescued. Not only does Katherine runs BLES, but she cares and provides help for all the animals in the village AND is the best mum to her children. As for reviews stating about not responding to their emails immediately, BLES is very honest about the time committed to caring for the elephants. They are not a huge sanctuary as the larger ones they get compared to, and this should be taken into consideration I 100% support Katherine and BLES.
Tiff P — Google review
A transformative experience. BLES is not just a sanctuary — it’s a place of respect, healing, and true love for elephants. Here, each animal has a name, a story, and the freedom they deserve. It’s impossible not to be moved by the strength of these giants, who carry scars on both their bodies and their memories, yet find peace in every step. The team is incredibly kind, welcoming, and dedicated. Even with the language barrier, I felt completely at home — like I was among friends. If you’re looking for a place where tourism meets purpose, and animal welfare comes first, BLES is the right destination. Eternally grateful for everything I experienced here. A visit that leaves a mark on your soul. 🐘💚 #BLES #AnimalWelfare #ResponsibleTourism

If I could have given a 10 (instead of 5 being the highest) I would. BLES is an amazing organization doing amazing things for the elephants. This is a true sanctuary where the elephants can just be elephants. I felt welcome as soon as I met Katherine and her beautiful family and staff. Right off we went on an elephant walk and found Lotus. She was making a rumbling sound hoping to find her other elephant friends. Once she did, the sound of pure excitement coming from them was so incredible. We would also have lunch delivered to a treehouse where we could watch the elephants below just be elephants. There is so much to rave about I can’t wait to return.

My wife and I went to Thailand for three weeks for our honeymoon, and the four days we spent at Boon Lott's was absolutely the highlight of our trip. If you truly care about the well being of elephants, this is the only ethical option in Thailand. I was overwhelmed with the beauty and majesty of their resident elephants, and the team (mahouts) working with the elephants are so wonderful - they lead and train with love and deep trust, and it is so clear. The family who runs the place are honestly some of the sweetest, kindest, most loving people you will meet. We ate the best food of our trip here. They fed us three solid meals a day, family style, and their love shone through their food. We really felt cared for and part of the family. There are also dogs and cats on site which definitely added to the experience! It is worth every single penny, and you will not want to leave. I really truly hope we can make visiting Boon Lott's a tradition. Thank you so much to everyone at BLES!!!

My husband and I just visited Boon Lott's Elephant Sanctuary as part of our honeymoon. We spent 3 nights and 3 days here. It was absolutely AMAZING! The experience to be so close to such big, gorgeous, intelligent creatures was so inspiring. Also, everyone at BLES is SO INCREDIBLY KIND. Note that in general the activities here are a bit physically active. We went on long hikes and it was a bit physically taxing. Though, if you ever did not want to do an activity there was always an option to not participate but honestly they were the best part. The food here was INCREDIBLE. At the sanctuary it is all vegan food. It was probably the best food I have had in thailand. Getting a reservation here was not that hard, really you just need to email Katherine early (we did ours a year in advance) and don't expect a reply right away. There is NO internet access at the sanctuary and most phone carrier signal does not work, so she has to travel to a different place to send emails etc. After you made your reservation you let her know when you are arriving (the sukhothai airport is where we arrived) and she will send someone to pick you up. They keep the groups very small here, up to 6. We had 4 people (my husband and me and another great couple). We had so much fun being with these people. It is a great place to meet like minded people from around the world.

Friend and I booked a stay on our 1st trip to Thailand. You need to book in advance you cannot show up unannounced. The owner, her family, and all staff are a joy to be around. Kathrine is passionate in what she does, educated in the care of all animals at BLES, and has created a truly magical place. If you're looking for an educational humbling experience while witnessing elephants in their natural state this is the place to go. Not to mention all the amazing vegan food! Highly recommend and hope to be back in the future.

We visited for 3 days with our 3 children (booked several months in advance) and as the kids describe it, it was, "Epic...Ten stars...Awesome!" It was truly an immersive experience, learning about elephants, mahouts, Thai culture and the community. Katherine and her family were so welcoming, as were all the staff at BLES. The food was the some of best vegetarian/vegan food we have had! All our needs were taken care of, and we felt like part of the family. We cannot put into words how enriching the experience was for all of us. Spending time with the beautiful elephants was a very special experience we won't forget. We recommend this to anyone interested in learning more about elephants and seeing them in a safe environment. We hope to be back again!

Wat Phra That Suthon Mongkhon Khiri is a stunning temple in Phrae Province, Thailand, showcasing exquisite Lanna art and Thai-European architecture. The temple features a large reclining Buddha and a blend of Lanna and Burmese architectural styles, adorned with captivating statues and elements. Despite occasional closures, it's worth visiting for its serene atmosphere and traditional beauty.
Have had this temple in the corner of my eye on a few passes, but this time it was a U-turn and a visit. There are big conditions here, so it took some time, but I didn't see any other people during my visit. This is a magnificent temple, densely packed with impressions, over quite a large area. If you are passing by, or nearby, a visit is recommended. There is a huge parking space after the entrance to the temple.

I was impressed with the fine art construction of this temple​ &​ the​ intention of​ the​ ex-abbot whom intended to creat the​ fine​ art​ for the​ next generation.​ I​ recommended you to​ visit this​ temple​ &​ took time to​ absorb the​ soul of​ the​ creator.​ This​ temple​ close at 17.00​ Lt.​

The very elaborate local temple had 3 levels with various sala's. Some used others abandoned a whole ago. It has a big and rich collection of old artefacts well worth seeing. Plentiful richly decorated it has many stories. There is also a memorial for fallen soldiers.

Wat Phong Sunan, also known as the Temple of the Tortoise, is a stunning and serene ancient Buddhist temple located in Phrae, Thailand. The temple features intricate design and religious significance, with a big reclining Buddha in the courtyard and a golden chedi. Adjacent to Wat Luang, it is within walking distance of other sites in the old city. The complex includes traditional Viharn and multi-spire buildings, along with numerous statues.
5 stars absolutely given here to this temple. Many things here make it stand out from the rest like the big reclining Buddha and especially the huge golden tortoise behind the temple. There are so many beautiful things here to see and you can easily spend 20 minutes here enjoying everything this temple ground has to offer. Definitely a must visit temple in Phrae

Beautiful and shiny. It's a must see when visiting Phrae town. One of the best kept temple complexes I've seen in a while. You won't be disappointed. Right down the street from a bunch of bars and nightclubs too. Which is handy if you wanna crush a few beers after your search for enlightenment.

A newer temple within the old city of Phrae that is simply gorgeous. There is a more traditional looking Viharn but next to it is a magnificent multi-spire building. A reclining Buddha is outside in the open. A new giant turtle is currently being added to the complex. It within walking distance of several other sites in the old city.

Wat Luang and Museum, located in Phrae Town, is a significant Buddhist temple with a rich history dating back to 829. The temple houses priceless artifacts such as old Lanna Buddhist images and a 500-year-old stone inscription. Additionally, the temple compound includes the Phrae Museum and the 200-year-old Phrae Culture Hall, showcasing various antiques and artifacts related to the town's past.
Visit 26/3/2019 - Historical Wat. Museum has some interesting displays. Gold Buddha but hard to photograph because of security glass. Good for a visit and close walk to other attractions.

Very beautiful temple to visit in Phrae. Is it a must visit place ? Definitely yes. Here you will find everything from an impressive temple, big white Chedi, old wooden houses etc. I will define this as not being the most beautiful and spectacular temple ground in Phrae but still a must visit place when coming to this area of Thailand

Wat Luang is a very old temple (however the current buildings are newer) with a main hall containing a bronze Buddha statue. The other notable building is the two-storey building containing a small museum. It is worth visiting when at Wat Luang. I enjoyed my visit and the TAT volunteer was very kind and helpful.

A must visit place when coming to Phrae. Experience for yourself how the old ruler of Phrae lived, slept, dined and worked in his huge wooden house right in the city centre.

First, it’s a free museum so no worries about reservations. And it’s filled with a lot of historical and unique pieces. It felt like taking a step back in time as I went through the floors and the rooms and I really took my time doing so. I loved the fact that they also had these little document stands and picture boards to elaborate more on whatever piece of artifact you were seeing or room you were in. Absolutely recommend.

The residence of the Phrae royalty in the past. Learn about his and his family way of life here. Free to enter. There is a guide who can speak English to show you around the place. Came to visit during midday and chanced upon the free guided tour (in Thai) at 2pm. Took one and a half hour traveling on the tram to numerous temples. Mainly locals. Tour ended back at Kum Chao Luang, but you can get off at any point. We are free to tip them if we want at the end. Morning tour is at 10am. Luckily I had some knowledge of Thai so it's much enjoyable. Otherwise it may serve only as a transportation among the sites. the friendly guide is able to explain a little in English.

We made an unscheduled stop here and were we glad we did. No tourists were here when we visited. We took our time browsing the mansion/museum. There’s plenty of parking on the roadside (which is common in Phrae). No entrance fees, clean toilets and best of all…there’s a cold water dispenser. Staff were very friendly and considerate. Well-maintained sight. There are English labels for some of the items so I could understand the history of the mansion.

Everything was good except one thing that I got bothered at the temple. As soon as I got into the main hall of temple, a monk who was sitting on the left side called me right away (it was a hint that he wanted me to give money (even I had to put it in a donation box) to go to him first. I couldn't refuse it because I would have been a freak if I did that to him). I basically just wanted to quietly and peacefully paid my respect to the buddha image in the hall by myself.

Wat Chom Sawan, situated in the picturesque province of Phrae, Thailand, is a must-see attraction known for its exquisite architectural design and rich historical significance. Constructed in 1900, this old temple boasts a unique fusion of Lanna and Burmese architectural styles. Adorned with intricate carvings and golden details at its grand entrance, the temple stands as a testament to the region's cultural heritage.
A Burmese style temple that is so ancient. Interesting architecture and history. There’s a small door by the hall that is for the owners to ride the elephants. You can also see Burmese inscriptions on the pillars. The yellow cloth that they are making, from what I heard is to wrap around the stupa and it takes around a year to complete one. Very interesting. Lucky I came with a guide.

The temple is not the most beautiful Teakwood Temple but it is historic and it is very well-preserved the side of the temple has been a temple for over 1,000 years obviously this beautiful wooden Temple could not be 1,000 years old but it is very old and it is worth a visit

A perfect example of a Burmese style temple easily recognizable by the roof. Sadly, it was undergoing renovations at the time of my visit. The interior is also recognizable as it is more square than a Thai style temple. The Buddha is made of bamboo and gilded. The temple is over 100 years old.

So he had Phraya Phichai Dab Hak proclaim that he would serve the reign so he would not be punished with death. But Phraya Phichai spoke loudly saying that he did not want to be the servant of 2 princes or 2 slaves. Anyone would criticize and gossip about him, so he was punished with death.

Nestled about 12 kilometers from the heart of Phrae, Phae Muang Phi Forest Park, often referred to as the "Forest City of Ghosts," is a captivating destination steeped in local lore. This enchanting park features an array of unique geological formations, including towering sandstone columns that have been sculpted by years of erosion—some reaching heights of up to 30 meters.
This is an interesting place and it's well maintained. The park staff are friendly too. It doesn't look natural. It looks like an area that has been strip-mined, but if it's 100% real, it's pretty impressive.

This enchanting park features an array of unique geological formations, including towering sandstone columns that have been sculpted by years of erosion—some reaching heights of up to 30 meters.
This is an interesting place and it's well maintained. The park staff are friendly too. It doesn't look natural. It looks like an area that has been strip-mined, but if it's 100% real, it's pretty impressive.

The valley is very nice and it's also poasible to walk around in the wood at some paths, but all the bords for explanation are gone.

Wat Phra That Chom Chaeng is a less-visited but intriguing temple located just one kilometer away from Wat Phra That Cho Hae. The 29-meter golden chedi, built in 788, enshrines Lord Buddha's relic, including a hair donated by Buddha himself. Despite undergoing renovations, the temple offers a peaceful atmosphere and unique Lanna aesthetics. Visitors appreciate its serene ambiance and distinct decor, making it a worthwhile stop during a visit to Phrae.
Quiet and charming place. The style of temple is similar with temples in Myanmar. Worthy to come visit

When you are in the area, visiting the much larger Wat Pha That Cho Hae, I suggest you also come visit this temple. It is smaller but also ancient and set in a forest clearing. There is a very tall standing Buddha next to the stupa. There are other intetesting/different statues around the temple complex. Just outside the temple in the forest, there is a reclining Buddha.

Visit 25/3/2019. Old Wat with lots of strange statues in one old section. Many old artworks wanting restoration.

This is a wonderful temple to visit. I am very confused though about many of the statues that are being tortured. wish that we knew why. All in all this has been our favorite temple but they may be because it was not crowded at all so we could walk around on my own.

A peaceful temple a short distance from Phrae. The temple is currently undergoing extensive works but it is still well worth a visit.

Buddhist temple
"Sapae Yen" is a coffee shop located on a hilltop and is particularly revered by Buddhists who were born in the Year of the Tiger. The shop is home to several sacred relics of Lord Buddha, including his hair and left elbow. Visitors climb up the main stairway and enter through an upper gate before paying respects at "Phra Chao Tun Jai," one of the most sacred Buddha statues in Phrae.
For Buddhist, especially those who are born in the Year of the Tiger, it is a blessing to pay respect to the hair and left elbow relics of the Lord Buddha housed in the gold pagoda. After climbing the main stairway and entering the upper gate, there is one of the most sacred Buddha statute in Phrae known as Phra Chao Tun Jai where Buddhist will pay respects and make their wishes before going into the pagoda area. There are also many interesting Buddha statues surrounding the area around the pagoda and it is worthwhile to walk around and see. One can always find a quiet corner where he/she can meditated and feel the vibes.

Wat Phra That Cho Hae is a royal temple located just outside the city of Phrae atop a small hill. It is a must visit when coming to Phrae. I recommend a visit.
