Elephants have always held a special place in Thai culture. These gentle, highly
intelligent giants have earned the love and admiration of the Thais as a symbol
of power
Training is hard work for both the mahout (elephant handler) and the animal. A professional
mahout develops a bond with his elephant before mastering the skills of control.
Elephants are then trained to perform tasks such as hauling logs and carrying tourists
on safari.
Golf
There are many excellent golf courses throughout Thailand with some of the best in
the north with the cooler mountain air making the experience thoroughly enjoyable.We
recommend Santibury Golf in the Wiang-Chai District.
Canoeing Rafting and Kayaking
There are many areas in Northern Thailand surrounding Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Tak,
Maesod and Mae Hong Sorn where you will find excellent conditions for canoeing, kayaking
and white water rafting with rushing, gurgling rivers and streams for the brave and
peaceful lakes for the less adventurous.
Spend a few days on the water and explore the spectacular scenery from a different
perspective and if adventure is your thing you can even spend the night in a jungle
camp.
Fishing
Chiang Rai is an ideal base for recreational fishing. The locals fish in the many
public ponds and lakes but if you want to catch really big fish we would recommend
the Kieng Doi Fishing Park about 5 km from Chiang Rai.
Our staff will be happy to make arrangements for you.
