Elephant Riding Baan Tong Luang - ticket only

Información

Start your day with seeing elephant show at the showground and connect to the elephant Riding from Maesa Elephant Camp to the Eco-Agricultural hill tribes village at Baan Tong Luang where you can learn and see lifestyle of 4 different tribes those are Karen Longneck, Lahu Shibalah, Red Karen or Pakayor and Palong Karen.

Baan Tong Luang is conveniently located just off the Maerim – Samoeng Road, an area containing many and varied Chiang Mai attractions. Baan Tong Luang has been laid out quite well, with a separate area for each of the different Hill Tribes. The village is divided by picturesque rice paddies and fields containing water buffalo, with several thatched roof huts in the distance. The road through the village is lined on both sides with thatched roof wooden huts, almost every one displaying for sale a wide variety of Hill Tribe embroidery, cloth, jewelry and many other items of uncertain ethnic origin which you can find at Chiang Mai’s Night Bazaar or walking streets at considerably lower prices.

Each shop is staffed by girls wearing the appropriate, extremely beautiful Hill Tribe costumes, all of whom are trying, and mostly succeeding, to avoid looking bored as the constant stream of camera wielding visitors passes by. Dotted about throughout Baan Tong Luang are the occasional women demonstrating the traditional methods of weaving and spinning and one elderly man who is delighted to show off his considerable prowess with a handmade wooden crossbow.
