[2025 Mae Wang Hotels] Travel Guide for Chai Lai Orchid (Updated Jul)

#christmasgiveaway Stop by to visit the retired elephants. They are all so cute. If you pass by Mae Wang, don't forget to stop by and visit Chailai. #wintermountaintravel

📍The chai lai orchard, Chiang mai (Thailand) This is a guesthouse in Chiang Mai, Thailand. In this guesthouse, elephants come to each room in the morning to wake you up and you can feed them in the morning💛💛 The elephants' breakfast is a lot of bananas🍌🍌 You can feed them until the basket full of bananas is gone, so you have plenty of time to take photos and interact with them🧡 They also brought our breakfast to our room, so we could have breakfast with the elephants🥞❣️ (You can choose between a pancake breakfast and a Thai breakfast) It's about an hour and a half away from Chiang Mai city, so it's in the middle of nature and truly coexists with nature🍃 - -⚠️If you take a grab or taxi to the guesthouse, you may get lost, so it's best to ask the hotel for a shuttle!! Pick-up fee from Chiang Mai city Truck 🚚 800 baht per car (about 3,300 yen) Car 🚗 1000 baht per car (about 4,200 yen).⚠️There are a lot of insects and dogs, and the cafe is open, so dogs will come over while you're eating 🐶 (and they might even come into your room) It's more of an eco-village than a hotel, so there's no air conditioning, and the beds have insect repellent curtains like canopies, and of course there's no bathtub, only a shower. It's a version with camping rooms 🤣🤍lol I actually don't like dogs, so at night I thought, "Seriously? It's too hard," but after the morning experience, it was the best! ♡! ←Simple. lol It's very popular because it's hard to find a place where you can have breakfast with elephants🏨 .It fills up a few months in advance, so if you want to go, I recommend you make a reservation early❣️❣️(I stayed here during Golden Week, so I made a reservation quite early (September), but even normally you might have to make a reservation about 3 months in advance,,) You can have a fun time that you can only have here〜🐘🥞🍌🧡 Add excitement to your daily life:🌙 Chai Lai Orchid Eco Lodge and Cafe 📮 172 m 5 T. Mae Sapok A, Mae Wang 　　District, Chiang Mai 50360 👛 1 room　Breakfast and morning feeding included　From about 12,000 yen (varies depending on room type) - - ☑ Post the exciting spots you've actually visited ☑ Save the places that interest you Please consider this as your next trip...✈ #besttrip2023 #ThailandTrip #Thailand #OverseasTrip #ChiangMai #GirlsTrip #WinterTrip

A day that you will never forget! Chai Lao Orchid is amazing from the get go. we chose the 1 day elephant jungle expedition, we were collected from our hotel at 8am to make our way into the jungle, as soon as you arrive at Chai Lai Orchid you can see the elephants roaming around freely. Within minutes of being there I was introduced to their eldest elephant, named Grandma. it’s such a surreal moment to standing in front of these beautiful calm giants. The day included a small hike to go rafting on a nearby river, feeding the elephants, washing & playing with the elephants in the river, being taught how to cook food in the traditional Karen tribe way and waterfalls. It has been the most amazing day of my travels so far and it’s going to be hard to top it. #elephants #elephantsanctuary #chailaiorchid #chaingmai #rafting #couplestrip #mytripvlog #deliciousfood #bestdayever

Some time ago, I went to Chiang Mai. In order to avoid the crowds in the ancient city, I booked an old town outside the old town, there is an elephant called Chai Lai Orchid. I took a bus from the old town and it was about 3040 minutes. (Playing GRAB, the price is 600-800 baht) arrived at the hotel, greet us is the landlord Alexa

One of the absolute highlights of our trip: staying at Chai Lai Orchid near Chiang Mai. It’s more than just a place to sleep – it’s a sanctuary where rescued elephants roam freely, and guests get to be part of their world for a little while. Waking up to elephants wandering past your balcony is a surreal and beautiful thing. They even pop by at breakfast – gently (and sometimes not-so-gently!) reminding you they’d like a banana or two. We got to bathe the elephants in the river, which was as joyful and muddy as it sounds – such a calm, grounding experience. And the star of the show? A 5-month-old baby elephant, already cheeky, full of energy, and unbelievably strong. He kept headbutting us like a playful puppy that doesn’t know its own strength. Absolutely hilarious – and unforgettable. Chai Lai is doing amazing work for both elephants and the local community. If you’re in northern Thailand and want an experience that’s ethical, heartwarming and wildly fun – go. You won’t forget it. #ChaiLaiOrchid #ElephantSanctuary #ResponsibleTravel #ChiangMai #ThailandTravel #RescueElephants #WildAndFree #BabyElephant #ElephantExperience #EthicalTourism #TravelThailand #NatureMoments #UKTravelsAbroad #AnimalEncounters #SustainableTravel #SupportLocal #ElephantLove #CuteAndCheeky #BreakfastWithElephants #UnforgettableExperience #EcoTravel #WanderlustThailand #OffTheBeatenPath #TravelMemories #MudBathMagic #TravelStories #ThailandNature #SanctuaryStay #HeartwarmingTravel #ChaiLaiMagic

#hiddengems I would have loved to spend more time at this idyllic retreat in the heart of nature, for a night of sleep in this extremely cosy riverside bungalow just wasn’t enough. Next morning, the same therapeutic sound of rushing river waters that lulled me to sleep the previous night greeted my ears as I awoke early in a bid to catch the sunrise. The local staff’s pet dog trotted over to our bungalow for a warm greeting as well, so we decided to spare the little cutie some scraps from our extremely delicious & traditional Thai breakfast that the staff kindly delivered to our doorstep 😋😋😋

🇹🇭 Best of the Best Chiang Mai Accommodation! Chai Lai Orchid I visited an elephant sanctuary and accommodation located an hour away from Chiang Mai :) Have you ever imagined a morning when elephants wake you up :) You can interact with the elephants at the sanctuary and experience walking, playing in the water, and feeding them. 🎀 Location: Chai Lai Orchid, 172 m 5 T. Mae Sapok A, Mae Wang District, Chiang Mai 🎀 How to get there: If you take a Grab from downtown Chiang Mai, it's expensive at 800-1000 baht. You can share a tour pickup truck in the city for 400 baht, so ask! 🎀 Price: Around 100,000 won per night 🎀 Since it's an eco lodge, it's made of wood and bugs can come in through the gaps :) When the sun goes down, you can't turn on the lights and just put your phone away and sleep ㅋㅋ That was also happy! The advantage is that you can see elephants up close and take pictures without going on a tour because elephants are always walking around 💖 #ChiangMaiTravel #ChiangMai #HoKangs #UniqueAccommodation #chailaiorchid #ThailandTravel
