Ian Ziering visited Chiang Mai, Thailand’s Hug Elephants Sanctuary in July 2018 and shared, “Getting a chance to splash around with Elephants was such a rare and unique experience I will never forget. This just may go down as the best vacation I’ve ever taken.”

Jodie Sweetin visited the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary in July 2017 and shared, “It’s a beautiful place where they are so kind to the animals (no riding), lots of feeding them, bathing them and taking them to the waterfalls. We then had lunch, and the guides were so kind and invited me into their kitchen to share the food they had made (different from the rest of the tour group). I had much more authentic (and spicy!) food, which was delicious and we sat around laughing and eating fresh longan fruit after lunch. It was the most perfect experience!! If you go see elephants, go there!! They really take care of them well!!”

Brooke Shields observed “Chanting hour for the monks at Wat Chedi Luang in Chiang Mai” in July 2016 and said “The sound was glorious.”
