Many elephant camps do not engage in Elephant-friendly practices.
Avoid patronizing camps that exploit Thailand’s elephants.
Patronizing the Royal Folk Arts and Crafts Training Center in Mae Hong Son benefits both villagers and the authenticity of native arts.
The admission fee for the Chiang Mai Zoo is not inclusive of the fee to visit the Pandas.
If you plan on arriving in Chiang Mai during the Songkran festival (April 13-15) make sure you pack everything in plastic prior to placing it in your luggage.
