Wonderful day for all - Aww what a lovely day, a whole day nearly 12 hours, Bang is a really kind and considerate host, as a solo travelling middle aged women it was such a nice hike in the morning, followed by a Pad Thai (veggie for me which was no issue) at Bangs beautiful Property followed by an afternoon of tubing down the river to be greeted by sanctuary elephants and joined by rescued water buffalo (this is through the river next to it he Elephant Nature Park -a big shout out to them for being truly ethical and having so many rescue animals ) . Last step of the day is a walk/hike to a beautiful waterfall where you can decide to take the plunge (or not , no pressure) then Bang drove us all home. You can also decide to feed the elephants with a Project run by the Elephant nature Park,

The best day ever!! - Best day with Bang. This is a beautiful area. The trek was great to see the waterfall, good lunch follower by tubing down the river. Sat watching the water buffalo and elephants it was perfect. Bang, our guide was excellent and looked after us from the minute he picked us up from the hotel to taking us back. A genuine memorable day.

Fun day out with a great group - We had a brilliant day with Bang, he was such a great tour guide and so welcoming. We went on a hike to a waterfall, did some tubing (which is nice and chill) and went to another waterfall which we slid down, this looked scary to start with but we are very glad we did it, so much fun!!! Thank you for a great day Bang!!!

Book ASAP! - This was a perfect day! We got picked up from our hotel, drove bout 1.5 hrs to base camp and then started our trekking trip. It was about 1 hr to a beautiful waterfall. Our guide, Bang, made the experience so enjoyable and took great photos for us. Then we went back to base camp for lunch and drinks. After that, we went tubing which was awesome. It was very relaxing and Bang had beer for us to purchase and enjoy. We got to see water buffalo and elephants roaming freely. There were also hot showers available for us before being dropped back off. Overall, 5 star rating! Book ASAP!

Best day ever!!! - This tour was amazing!!! Day started out with pick up from my hotel & was taken to Bangs family property about an hour away from Chiang Mai city. The property itself is beautiful & offers accommodation. First up was the trek through the jungle to a waterfall. Bang was so helpful throughout the hike & is very knowledgeable about the area. We had a great conversation & I learnt a lot about Thai culture. Back at the property we had a yum Pad Thai for lunch & got ready for tubing. This part was my favourite!!! Floating down the river, listening to music is always fun.. but add some Elephants & Water Buffalo & it is just amazing!!! They come so close & a Water Buffalo even licked my leg 😆 Memorable is an understatement. The whole day was so much fun. Last up was a beautiful waterfall that you could slide down into to a small pool. You will see so much wildlife. I would 100% recommend this tour to everyone & will book again. Thank you to Bang 😊 you make this tour a 10/10

Small group, great guide - Pang is a wonderful host and a great guide, pointed out all kinds of plants and animals and helped us navigate the bamboo bridges. Floating down the river was very relaxing.

Great activity to do in Chiang Mai - What a great tour! We are a couple in our 40s who enjoy outdoor sports and have experience with canyoning, water rafting, kayaking and moderate hiking. That being said, I am slightly injured right now so I wasn't at my fastest it most limber. We were picked up at our accommodation at 7:45 by Bang. He's the owner and was our guide for the day. It was just us,2 people for the trekking. On the way to the base camp, we stopped at a 7-11 and we're able to get coffee and use the restrooms. Once we reached it, we put our stuff in a locker and were off trekking for about 1 hour (I did the trek with a slightly injured knee, so we were probably slower than usual). The trek was slightly challenging. Bring good shoes that don't slip. There are some little, tricky river crossings in the canyon with bamboo bridges which are fine if you aren't accident prone. Bang was very helpful. The waterfall was lovely and on the way we saw some local wildlife. Going back to the camp was quick We had lunch and changed into bathing suits and were driven to the drop in point for the tubing. The tubing was fantastic! We were floating through the elephant sanctuary river just as the water buffalo were crossing and as the elephants came round to drink and play near the banks. Bang was a great navigator. It was relaxing and lovely the rest of the time with drinks and music. After that we were driven a few minutes back to the base camp and walked 5 minutes to the "natural slide" waterfall. It is indeed a natural slide. All in all, the tour was great and Bang is a really nice man. I would recommend this tour! The following pictures of the elephants and water buffalo were taken by Bang.

Best day ever! Beatiful accommodation in the jungle <3 - I did the tour with the trek, tubing and waterfalls and stayed overnight in the jungle. This was a truly incredible experience. I have been traveling through Thailand for 3 weeks, but this was my best day so far. I would recommend it to everyone. Bang is a very pleasant guide and also leads his tours himself, making the contact personal. He brought a speaker with him while tubing and provided drinks and beer, which made it a lot of fun. You can see elephants along the river and water buffalos. The stay was beautiful! Surrounded by nature and very quiet. It was only 300 bhat more to spend the night there. Definitely worth it!
