Very unhappy to see so many elephants in Ayutthaya 😔 About 9 years ago we wrote about the gruesome animal abuse of people riding elephants and well post it here again. Just in case you ever feel the need to ride an elephant, please read up on how these majestic animals’ spirits and bodies are broken, just so they can amuse tourists. It’s heartbreaking!

If you want to see elephants, visit a ethical sanctuary instead, such as Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand - WFFT

It’s getting a bit of a tight squeeze with the three of us but we can still fit 🤣 And we’re having a blast exploring Ko Yao Noi and Ko Yao Yai!

We hopped on our motorbike again today (we still fit all 3 on one bike, but barely…) to visit Mae Sa Waterfall, about 45 minutes from where we’re staying. There’s a walking trail with steps and inclines besides the falls and you can walk all the way up to level 10. We loved it!

On our way to Mae Sa waterfall we spotted this beautiful ornate temple called Wat Pa Dara Phirom Phra Aram Luang (วัดป่าดาราภิรมย์ พระอารามหลวง) so we hopped in for a quick visit on the way back.

If you’re making a list of things to do with kids in Chiang Mai the Huay Kaew waterfall is a good one to add. It’s close to the city and easy to reach. Lots of little pools to play in and cool off. There’s also a short hike up to a view point. Take a picnic and enjoy!

Wat Pha Lat in Chiang Mai. Amazing temple complex hidden in the forest halfway up the Doi Suthep mountain. It even has a small waterfal on the grounds. After visiting the very busy Wat Phra Singh Woramahawihan Chiang Mau’s old city yesterday, the serenity of Wat Pha Lat felt almost surreal.
