The caretakers will also teach you about the elephants’ individual histories and behaviors.

This Chiang Dao Cave is a unique cave system that can be found within a temple complex. Within its tunnels, wander upon several Buddhist shrines and beautiful crystallized rock formations that resemble plants and animals. Local legend says a hermit once lived there, too.
