Chiang Mai: Things to do Posted by char88can (451 days ago) THanks for the recommendations. More please. (I am based in Hong Kong)  Posted by grim up north (450 days ago) I took an overnight sleeper a few years ago. The scenery is stunning. We took an express sleeper which was basic but ok. (I am based in Macau) Posted by bakergirl (422 days ago) Just got back from Chiang Mai. We just booked the Elephant Camp/Bamboo Raft & Karen (Long Neck) Tribe day tour thru the agent in the hotel lobby... it cost B1500 Per person including lunch at the Mae Sa ele camp. You can get a driver to take you there privately for cheaper but we preferred the no hassle / reputable tour company. They speak better english and can tell you a bit more about the places you are visiting. They also included the Orchid farm which was a bit lame but a good 'loo' stop opportunity and also gave us the option to visit the monkey school and snake farm on the way back (B200 pp each)... both fairly average and the monkeys are kept in cages :( The Tuk Tuks are cheap - about B60 return to go to all the factories (the factories pay the Tuk Tuk driver as well so no need to pay him any more even tho he will be with you for hours). We also took a Tuk Tuk to Wat U Mong and Wat Pra Sing which was B200 return... they try to add extra trips on and will try and take you to their friends business or to businesses where they get extra $$$ so be wary. You need to agree on the price before the trip. There was also a White Water rafting + 4 Wheel motorbike tour which looked fun... about B2000 pp (B1500 for passenger on bike). Have fun!
