Cultural and Wildlife Experiences: Balance your adrenaline-filled day with a serene visit to Wat Luang Khun Win, a place of worship that exudes tranquillity and spirituality. For animal lovers, there’s the unmissable opportunity to contribute to animal welfare at the Elephant Care Centre in Mae Wang.
