Wakey Camp / Wake With Elephants sits about as far from the Old City as any property in this batch — 39.5 km from the centre and 36.5 km from Chiang Mai International Airport — and its name tells you exactly why guests make the trip. This is a five-star-rated resort scoring 7.6 out of 10 from 164 reviews, and Uncle Kham would say straight up: the draw here isn't polish, it's proximity to something genuinely special, 750 metres from the Thai Elephant Conservation Center.
Getting to Wakey Camp / Wake With Elephants
This is a genuine journey out of the city — 39.5 km to the Old City centre and 36.5 km to the airport mean a car is essential, not optional, and the drive winds well beyond the city's usual day-trip range. Free WiFi is available once you arrive, and airport transfer is listed among the guest-loved highlights, worth arranging given how far out this property sits. A breakfast-included plan and blackout curtains both feature among what guests appreciated most, small comforts after a long drive in.
Rooms & What to Expect
Only one room type is on file here: the Garden View Terrace Room, a compact 18 square metres with a garden outlook. This is not a resort built around room size — at this scale, the room is clearly meant as a base for whatever's happening outside it rather than a destination in itself. Guests should come with realistic expectations about size and treat the room as somewhere to sleep between the real activity of the area.
Amenities & Facilities
The amenity list here is deliberately lean, with massage service the one confirmed facility on file. This is not the property to book for a long list of resort extras — it's a simpler, more rustic stay, and the review scores below reflect that honestly. Uncle Kham would rather tell a guest that plainly than oversell what isn't there.
What's Nearby — Temples, Markets & Local Life
The Thai Elephant Conservation Center is the standout, just 750 metres away — genuinely one of the more meaningful nearby attractions in this whole batch of properties, and almost certainly the reason most guests choose this address at all. Mae Sapok Waterfall sits 890 metres off, and Mae Wang Waterfall 1.11 km, both realistic short trips for guests with transport. Pha Mon Waterfall, 2.4 km away, adds a third option for anyone chasing waterfalls in this part of the province. For the city's classic sights, Chiang Mai Night Safari is 30.74 km away, Wat Phra That Doi Kham 31.63 km, Chiang Mai Zoo 36.68 km, Wat Phra Singh 39.01 km, and Wua Lai Walking Street 39.28 km — all a genuine full-day trip rather than a casual outing from up here.
Dining
No specific on-site restaurant is confirmed, though a breakfast-included plan is part of the stay. Given the distance from the city, guests should plan meals around what's available locally rather than expecting a wide dining scene on the doorstep.
Other Hotels Nearby
The nearest comparable properties sit a genuine drive away, reflecting how remote this part of the province is. Motho Homestay Doi Inthanon 4-6 PAX, 14.2 km off, scores a strong 9/10 at four stars. ZJ stay over the moon Wellness resort and cafe, 15.5 km away, holds a 6.4/10 rating at four stars. Green Tree Resort, 22.6 km off, rounds out the group at four stars and 7.9/10 — none of them close enough to walk to, which says something about how isolated this stretch of countryside really is.
Guest Reviews
The honest picture here is a mixed one. Staff service leads the category scores at 8.5 out of 10, just below the city average of 9 — solid given how remote the property is. Value for money sits at 7.6 against an average of 8.4, and location at 7.3 versus 8.1. Cleanliness, at 7.4 against a city average of 8.9, and facilities, at 6.8 versus 8.8, both sit meaningfully below average — numbers worth weighing honestly against the appeal of the elephant center next door.
Good to Know
Check-in opens at 13:00 and check-out is due by 12:00. A breakfast-included room plan and free WiFi are both confirmed. Given the distance and the modest facilities scores above, this is a property for guests prioritising the elephant conservation center and the surrounding waterfalls over resort comforts.
Wakey Camp / Wake With Elephants won't suit every traveller, and the review numbers say as much plainly. But for guests whose whole reason for coming is the conservation center 750 metres away, Uncle Kham understands the trade entirely.

Pha Dok Siew Nature Trail
A spectacular 3.5 km nature trail through montane cloud forest at 2,100 metres near the summit of Doi Inthanon. The trail is famous for its ancient Bauhinia (orchid tree) flowers that bloom pink and white from December to February, carpeting the forest floor. Excellent birdwatching with over 50 species reliably seen, including the globally threatened Green-tailed Sunbird.
Wachirathan Waterfall
The most powerful and visually dramatic waterfall in Doi Inthanon National Park, Wachirathan plunges 70 metres in a single thundering drop creating a permanent double rainbow in the mist cloud. A short 300-metre paved walk from the car park leads to a viewing platform with direct views of the falls. Best after heavy rain from July to October at peak flow.
Sirithan Waterfall
A slender 150-metre cascade tucked within a forested gorge on the slopes of Doi Inthanon, accessible via a tranquil 600-metre jungle trail from the road. The waterfall splits into two graceful streams around a central rock face, creating a distinctive twin-fall effect. The shaded walking trail passes through bird-rich forest — a highlight for birdwatchers during migration season.
Mae Klang Waterfall
The most accessible major waterfall in Doi Inthanon National Park, Mae Klang is a broad, powerful cascade with a large natural swimming area at the base. The falls are just 1 km from the park's main entrance, making them the perfect first stop. The surrounding area has well-maintained picnic areas, food stalls, and a visitor centre with information on the full park.
Doi Inthanon National Park
Home to Thailand's highest peak at 2,565 metres, Doi Inthanon National Park is a UNESCO-listed biosphere reserve hosting cloud forests, 400+ bird species, 80+ mammal species, hill tribe villages, and six spectacular waterfalls. The summit area is perpetually cool — bring a jacket even in summer. The park's twin Royal Chedis and their terraced gardens are unmissable highlights.
Doi Inthanon Summit
Stand at the highest point in Thailand at 2,565 metres above sea level — a unique achievement on any Northern Thailand trip. A small chedi marks the summit where King Inthawichayanon's ashes are enshrined. The summit bog is a globally unique ecosystem harbouring carnivorous pitcher plants, rare sphagnum mosses, and dwarf rhododendrons found nowhere else in Thailand. Temperature can drop to 0°C in January.
Twin Royal Chedis at Doi Inthanon
Two magnificent adjacent chedis — Naphamethanidon and Naphaphonphumisiri — stand at 1,800 metres on Doi Inthanon, built to honour King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit on their respective 60th birthdays. The surrounding terraced gardens are landscaped with rare temperate flowers, dwarf cypress trees, and sweeping mountain views. Monk chanting can often be heard from the adjacent monastery.
Royal Project Khun Wang Research Centre
A Royal Project station at 1,400 metres on Doi Inthanon's western slopes, growing rare temperate fruits and vegetables from Japan, Europe, and Korea. November to February the gardens explode with dahlias, cosmos, chrysanthemums, and marigolds in spectacular colour. Fresh highland vegetables, strawberries, and handicrafts from surrounding Paganyaw Karen villages are sold at fair trade prices.
Chiang Mai Grand Canyon Natural Area
The natural canyon area surrounding the water park — an abandoned quarry whose dramatic 30-metre red and orange clay cliffs and walls were formed over decades of excavation. Free access to the lakeside area makes this one of the most dramatic natural photography locations near Chiang Mai, particularly at golden hour when the canyon walls glow with colour.
Wat Phra That Si Chom Thong
The most sacred temple in Chom Thong district, enshrining a relic of the right side of the Buddha's skull — one of only a handful in the world. The exquisite Burmese-Lanna gilded mondop (shrine hall) is a masterpiece of Northern Thai religious art, with walls covered in intricate gold leaf work and precious gem inlay. A major pilgrimage destination throughout the year.
