Absolutely love this place. I live in Chiang Mai and heading to Mae Wang for a weekend of relaxation and elephants - Chai Lai Orchid is the perfect getaway. Also, its an excellent place to take visitors who can only spend a short time in the area, because it includes all the highlights Northern Thailand has to offer tied up into one feel-good package: elephants (new baby just born!), bamboo river rafting, hill tribe trekking, and excellent Thai food at their restaurant (the curries are some of the best I've had anywhere and the soft shell crab with garlic is to die for). Oh, and the beds are some of the comfiest I've slept on since arriving in Thailand 8 months ago (a comfy bed is hard to find around these parts)!
