Mae Wang Hotels with balcony

This accommodation cannot be compared with normal hotels. I stayed in the room on the edge of the river. The room was very primitive. There was no air conditioner, no signal, no WiFi, no phone, no towel, toothbrush, slippers, only shower gel, bottled water and an electric fan. The mountain road is really difficult to walk, especially on rainy days. My elephant call that morning was cancelled because the water level was too high for the elephants to come over on a rainy day. The host is not very professional, so I have to take the initiative to ask. The call was cancelled early and no one notified me. I was waiting in the room stupidly because there was no phone in the room, no WiFi, and the mobile phone had no signal in the village room. If you have anything, you have to walk to the reception to ask. Long distances are dirt roads. In fact, it is much more convenient to live in the mountains. But I still think it's worth it. Although not an enjoyable experience. But it's a really special process. I chose to take a bath with an elephant for 1200 baht per person. It was fun. This is an elephant conservation purpose. There will be a chance to go again.

This was the best choice to make. The staff is lovely and kind, they work so hard to make your stay comfortable. I don’t recommend if you are looking for luxurious/high end. It is far from the city, but it is perfect for those who love the quiet and private mountain lifestyle. This is deep in the jungle and a perfect experience to explore the mountains and to enjoy free range, guilt-free elephant experience. The staff love their elephants and are so good with them. They don’t chain or abuse them to control them. Very unique and relaxing experience  The grounds are very large and lots of space for the elephants. They come to your door for an early morning wake up call and breakfast is served to you after. There are also lots of activities to enjoy with a guide in the area. This is the best place to go to if you are looking for a loving and true experience of Thai life. They will transport you wherever you need to go, but grab what you need from 7/11 before you come, it is a 35 minute drive. This is my new favorite resort. Shoutout to “L” for his kindness and making my solo trip awesome! He filled the loneliness of solo travel with lots of side quests and laughs. This is a hidden gem.
