Mae Taeng Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Get away from the hustle and bustle of Chiang Mai city and enjoy a day in the utter beauty of mother nature. There is river rafting, you can watch elephants (but please DO NOT ride on them), breathe fresh mountain air and see villages of hilltribes.

Woman picking mushrooms. After many rainy days here, mushrooms are starting to pop up everywhere.
If you are ever in Chiang Mai, Thailand, these falls are an absolutely must see. They are also known as sticky waterfalls; due to the unique limestone rocks, no algae grows on them, meaning you can quite easily walk/climb around on the falls without slipping. It is about an hour scooter ride from Chiang Mai. There are organized trips there, but I would recommend renting a scooter and making the trip yourself, much cheaper, and much more fun.

The staff was beyond nice! When I was scammed and left in a jungle village by a grab-driver, they went to come pick me up, gave me food and respected my wishes when I told them I was mainly there to relax on my own and didn’t want to be disturbed all too much
