I had a wonderful stay at Chiang Mai Elephant Friends, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and the chance to see elephants in their natural habitat. The large bungalows offered beautiful views, and the staff was generally friendly and accommodating. However, I found some aspects, such as limited towels and a few facilities needing updates, slightly disappointing. Overall, it was a nice experience, and I'd definitely return! 🐘🌿

My stay at Chiang Mai Elephant Friends was an lovely experience, especially with the opportunity to interact with elephants in such a peaceful setting.

The tiny hilltop kitchen was a highlight for me. The food was some of the best Thai cuisine I had during my entire trip, and my complimentary breakfast was both rich and flavorful. I still think about those meals!
