The Maesa valley is north of Chiang Mai, near the village of Maerim, and it hosts many of Chiang Mai's tourist attractions. Indeed, a visit to Chiang Mai without travelling up the valley road would not be complete. On this tour, your guide will take you up the valley to see the famous Maesa Elephant camp, where you'll take in a show and have the chance to ride the elephants through the jungle if you choose.
The trip also includes a visit to Queen Sirikit's Botanical Garden, a royally sponsored project of outstanding beauty. Plus you'll get to visit and orchid farm where some spectacular orchids grow and butterflies live. The trip is a half day trip, either in the morning or the afternoon, but you could extend the trip to take in some of the other Maesa valley attractions, such as the monkey camp or the snake farm. There are numerous resorts along the road where stopping for lunch is highly recommended.

We had a terrific time on this tour. In particular, the elephant rides were a joy.

The Orchid farm is beautiful, and I’ve never seen such huge butterflies in my life.
