Eagle Track Zipline established in 2010, we set out with the aim of creating a ECO friendly jungle zipline course for the enjoyment of tourists and to support the local community as well as helping conserve the surrounding jungle for future generations. Our zipline adventure is situated 40 minute from the center of Chiang Mai city. Situated between three jungle hill tribe villages in a beautiful hillside valley, with the river Maeram running through the middle of this fertile land leading to two waterfalls, which you are free to visit and relax in. Eagle track Zipline started the zipline project with full agreement from the local Hmong and Karen communities, who once cultivated popies in the area until it came under the royal project scheme after a visit from HM the King of Thailand in 1972, They then changed to alternative crops of brown rice, maize, egg plants, soy beans etc. Eagle Track Zipline is a community based tourism operator. Our zipline ECO adventure is operated in a co-operative manner with the etho-Eco agricultural livelihood conservation group in Bann Wang Hang, Maeram. We employ local villagers and put them through courses to be trained as professional guides, they have been fully trained in safety and advanced first aid, as well as speaking a variety of languages, they are friendly helpful and happy to answer any questions you have. This year we are planning on planting 2000+ tree seedling to help in areas where there has been deforestation. We also supply accommodation and meals for local people working at Eagle Track Zipline, as well as other community based ventures. Without you our customers none of this would be possible. Many thanks from Eagle Track Zipline team.

Here at Maerim Elephant Sanctuary our mission is to rescue miss-treated elephants and provide them with a beautiful environment where they are safe, loved and cared for.

We believe that by sharing our passion with our guests we can all contribute towards providing rescued elephants a beautiful life which they deserve. In supporting our cause you will make memories to treasure as you roam freely with or magnificent elephants. Feed them, bond with them and bath with them. By choosing our sanctuary you will be actively contributing to saving the next gentle giant from a life of slavery. Let us assure you that we are not a money making outfit, we are here because of our passion for elephant. Along this journey you be informed of the realities of caring for elephants and the cruelties they endure before we rescue them.
We visited Chiang Mai over a weekend and decided to add this tour to our agenda since it offered a half day trip. SO glad we did! They are running a good program and are caring for the elephants well. Our host was very knowledgable, witty, and very available for questions when he wasn't presenting. Feeding the elephants was a highlight even though I was initially intimidated by their size. I chose not to "mud" with the elephants and still felt I got my money's worth. Afterwards we enjoyed some leisurely time by the pool and they end the tour with a great little perk...a group cooking class for their local Thai noodle soup Khao Soi - it was delish!

The Queen Sirkit Botanic Garden is one of the most renowned gardens in Thailand and a major hub for scientific research. Visitors can view beautiful Thai orchids and palms while walking around the expansive grounds.
We took a yellow songthaew from Warorot market at 40 Thai Baht per person to the botanic garden. The journey took about an hour. Entrance fee is free for senior over 60s. We were recommended to take a tram to the garden as it was quite a walk. The tram was 30 baht per person. The first stop was at the canopy. It was a very impressive walkway with fantastic views. The driver then took us to the glasshouse gardens. This was divided into different sections with alpine plants, orchids, cactus and rain forest. Particularly impressive was the large rain forest glass house with a massive waterfall. We meant to visit the natural science museum but we ran out of time. We will do it on our next visit. Highly recommend.

Elephant POOPOOPAPER Park is an eco-friendly, outdoor museum park that explains the unique steps involved in making our world famous paper products from elephant poop fibers! See artisans crafting! Learn a bit about the history of paper! Take incredible pictures! Visit our Adobe Cafe and grab a pile of souvenirs at the POO-tique Gift Shop - full of incredible products made from elephant poop!
I loved everything about this park. What an incredibly brilliant, planet-friendly brainchild. Thailand is revolutionizing the paper-making process, and the rest of the world should pay close attention. Adult admission is only $3.25 USD. The park is gorgeous, with a jungle feel to it, yet clean and new and beautifully maintained. Guests are directed along jungle paths to several thatched hut structures, where each phase of the paper making process is explained by a tour guide. Educational signage throughout the park provides additional detail about the process. I was surprised that the guide spoke English, with an occasional explanation in Thai for the children in the group. Everyone in the tour group got to make a sheet of paper from a ball of fiber. After this part of the tour, we went to a large covered pavilion, where we could participate in Do-It-Yourself projects involving PooPaper. You can make a bookmark, or a fan, a journal, a greeting card, bead jewelry ... all manner of interesting craft projects were going on in this section. You pay for the materials, and one of the staff will help if you need assistance. The gift shop shelves are lined with gorgeous paper products made on site. You can buy invitations or notepads, eco-friendly bags, T-shirts, pencils made from twigs, even a poopoo paper Christmas ornament. The items make lovely gifts or souvenirs, and prices are reasonable The park also has a cute cafe and outdoor picnic area on site. Adobe Cafe sells PooPoochip cookies (yum), as well as cupcakes, pies, cakes, water and soft drinks, coffee and tea, yogurt smoothies and fruit shakes. Prices are again reasonable. The park is located about a 20-minute drive out of town, in fairly close proximity to several other attractions. I hired a taxi driver for only $20 USD round-trip to drive me to several locations and wait while I spent the day touring various sites.

The place cool and breezy. Nice river flowing. There is no elephant bathing to see. The operator say it is too cold. The elephants and baby elephants look very healthy and well taken care off.
