Wat Pa Dara Phirom
Hidden in the forested hills of Mae Rim, this forest monastery was built in honour of Chao Dara Rasami, a Chiang Mai princess and beloved consort of King Rama V. The beautifully maintained teak pavilions, intricate Lanna carvings, and tranquil forest setting make it one of the most atmospheric and least-visited temples in Northern Thailand — an authentic spiritual retreat.
Elephant Jungle Sanctuary
One of Chiang Mai's most ethical elephant experiences, rescuing elephants from illegal logging, street begging, and tourist riding. Visitors walk with elephants through jungle trails, prepare their food, and observe natural herd behaviour — no riding, no shows, no hooks. Multiple half-day and full-day programmes available including overnight stays in the Karen hill tribe village.
Flight of the Gibbon
Southeast Asia's original award-winning zipline adventure, weaving 3 km through the forest canopy at 1,300 metres elevation in Mae Kampong Valley. The course includes 28 platforms, sky bridges, spiral staircases, and observation decks. Gibbon encounters and conservation education are integral to the experience. Consistently rated one of the top eco-adventures in Asia.
Pong Yang Zipline & Jungle Coaster
The most diverse adventure park in Mae Rim combines a high-altitude zipline course with Thailand's most exciting jungle coaster — a gravity-powered stainless-steel rail ride dropping 800 metres through bamboo forest at thrilling speeds with manual braking. ATV tracks, off-road buggies, and a go-kart circuit complete the offering. Suitable for children from age 3 and up.
Mae Sa Elephant Camp
The most established elephant camp in Thailand, operating since 1976 with a serious conservation mission. Home to over 80 elephants, Mae Sa runs a nationally recognised breeding programme and is affiliated with the Thai Elephant Conservation Centre. Offers mahout training, feeding, bathing, and artistically-directed elephant painting demonstrations, along with educational shows.
Maesa Snake Farm
Thailand's most informative snake facility, featuring over 40 species of Thai serpents including deadly cobras, king cobras, and pythons. Daily live shows demonstrate snake handling, venom extraction for antivenin production, and survival skills. Educational exhibits explain Thailand's snake ecology and how to identify dangerous species — essential knowledge for jungle trekkers.
Mae Rim Orchid Farm
A sprawling orchid nursery cultivating over 15,000 varieties of tropical orchids, many endemic to Thailand, under shaded greenhouse tunnels draped in cascading blooms of every conceivable colour. The farm exports premium orchids to markets worldwide. Visitors can browse the nursery, watch propagation techniques, and purchase exotic plants and floral arrangements at wholesale prices.
Tiger Kingdom Mae Rim
Home to over 80 tigers ranging from tiny cubs to magnificent full-grown adults, Tiger Kingdom allows visitors to enter supervised enclosures for a close-up experience. Professional caretakers explain tiger behaviour and the conservation programme. Multiple packages are available based on tiger size. The facility runs a breeding and wildlife education programme.
Mae Sa Valley Scenic Drive
The winding mountain road through Mae Sa Valley (Route 1096) passes a series of panoramic viewpoints overlooking a patchwork of highland orchid farms, tribal villages, and dense jungle. On clear winter mornings a spectacular mist fills the valley floor. Multiple roadside stalls sell fresh-pressed pomelo juice, hill tribe coffee, and local snacks along the 26 km route.
