    Good place to check out while in Chiangmai ! Family friendly but also good for adults. Do take the 2 tram routes and check out their shows. When we were there, the tiger show was under renovation so we couldn’t check it out as the interim solution did not work for bigger crowds. The dancing water show was also less impressive than when we went last a year ago.

    Worth the visit! It’s the only place in Asia Pacific where we can be so up close and personal with a tiger. The tiger were tamed and the trainers are beside us guiding. There are a few size of tigers for you to pet, so you can choose.

    The kids had a blast. It's very sunny in the park, so long-sleeved swimsuits are best. The staff were very nice. They even helped me retrieve my hat after it fell in the water. Later, when no one was looking, I dropped it again and couldn't find it. A staff member brought it back to me hours later, and he actually remembered me and my hat. The park opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 7 p.m. The water is very deep. Remember to securely attach the leg straps when putting on your child's life jacket.

    It's a great experience. The park is not big and you can experience the whole papermaking process. It is a good place to learn and play. In the end, you can DIY your own notebook. Little girls especially like it. There are also refreshments there, and adults can relax there. It's very comfortable.

    The baby elephants are so cute. They are very friendly to people. You can take pictures with them. But they eat a lot. I gave them a lot of bananas. Coming here is worth it. You get to be close to the baby elephants, experience nature, and see new things. I highly recommend it.
