Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Elephant Nature Habitat, Chiang Mai Thailand
This ethical elephant tour south of Chiang Mai is situated in a remote forested region accessible by 4WD and offers an eco-friendly experience with elephants in a small group, accompanied by a qualified tour guide. The project is run by Karen people, renowned for their centuries-old tradition of living and working with elephants. In the past, the elephants used to work giving rides and performing in shows, but are now appreciating their new life, spending much of the day eating, playing in the mud together, and bathing in the stream.
Duration: 40 minutes
Stop At: Phuket Orchid Farm, 67/1 Soi Suksan 1, Viset Road, Phuket Town, Phuket 83100 Thailand
Orchids are at their best during the cooler months of Chiang Mai’s winter although, especially with hybrids, they splash into color also in August. In the wild, orchids drape themselves from tree branches and let their roots dangle so they may draw moisture from the air. They are not parasites feeding off the tree as some people may think. Also, they are full of little surprises for example, some medicines are derived from orchids and the pollen can be an ingredient of expensive face creams. The flavoring, vanilla, also comes from the beautiful orchid.
