Pick up at 6.45 pm - 7.00pm. Chiang Mai Night Safari is far from city about 10 km.The Safari offers a series of trails over three main zones.The Jaguar Trail offers visitors a walk of around 1,200meters and is open during the day and at night. The Savanna Safari and Predator Prowl areas use rail cars to move visitors around. This is the ideal opportunity to observe wildlife at night. The park has three animal zones: the Jaguar Trail, which we chose to walk, the Savanna Safari Zone, where animals from the African savanna can be seen close-up at night from a 60-seater electric tram-or mini-train as it purrs past the more than 300 herbivores (not the back-packing vegetarians that haunt Chiangmai's restaurants) or plant eating animals, such as Giraffes, Gorals, Wildebeests, Rhinoceroses, yaks and many others. The Predator Prowl Zone, which has no connection whatsoever with Chiangmai's Night Bazaar, is the carnivorous animal zone where the hairs on the back of your neck tend to rise. As your tram carries you, in total safety, within yards of some of the world's most ferocious creatures you can't help but feel the power, majesty and grace of such animals as lions, tigers, Asiatic Black bears, crocodiles, African hunting dogs, and the elegant impala.     Price 1,000 THB/person   *Minimum 2 person   http://chiangmai-merrytravel.com/Chiangmai-Night-Safari-group22-program_id263.html Mon, 09 Jul 2012 04:18:31 +0700 Rental Van For Golf   Chiangmai Green Fee Caddy Fee Van Round Trip Golf Cart Alpine Golf Resort Chiangmai 2,000/2,500 220 1,500 600 RoyalChiangmai Golf Resort 1,400/1,800 220 1,500 600/800 Green Valley Golf Club 1,800/2,400 200 1,300 500/pax Lanna Golf Club 1,000/1,2000 200 1,200 600 Gassan Khuntan Golf & Resort 2,500/3,000 200 1,800 600 Gassan Lake City Golf Club 1,800/2,200 200 1,500 500/700 Mae Jo Golf Club 1,600/2,000 250 1,300 600 Chiangmai Highland Golf & Spa Resort 2,000/3,000      250      1,800                    600 Gassan Marina Golf Club 2,000/2,400 200 1,400 500/700  Inthanon Golf Resort 1,800/2,000 200 1,800 500 Lamphun Gold Canyon 1,600/2,000 220 1,700 500 Chiangrai Santiburi Golf Club 1,600/2,200 220 2,000 700   Waterford Valley Golf Club 1,500/2,000 200 2,000 600 Lampang Mae Moh Golf Club 600 200 2,500 600   Remark:  The above golf clubs have 2 green fees, one for weekends, public holiday and one for weekdays               : The Above rates can change without notice, Van rental available with driver - Price is per day and Excluded Gasoline and any Admission fee - A/C transportation with first insurance - Payment with cash - Working time about 10 - 12 hrs.   Highlands golf club and Resort , Chiang Mai ,Sankampheng Near Sankampheng's Hot Springs and only 30 minutes east of Chiang Mai is the finest new golf course in Northern Thailand - Chiang Mai Highlands. The brainchild of Vichai Samakoses and designed by Lee Schmidt, this par-72, 7,000 yard from late 2005, 18-hole masterpiece is built on a power spot" " the hermitage of Kuba Sivichai (the revered monk who founded the famous temple on Doi Suthep). This very special site is breathtaking in every direction and literally tingles with an energetic aliveness. Its profound tranquility, high elevation, cool climate, fresh air, pure water, and fertile soil, form the perfect place to sculpt a living golf treasure. From the inviting downhill 1st hole, the golf course effortlessly flows along, gaining strength, beauty, and character with each passing hole until its thrilling, dramatic finish on the unforgettable 18th. If you only have one day to golf in the north, play Chiang Mai Highlands. This world-class resort is not to be missed! Royal Chiang Mai Golf Club Designed by 5 times British Open winner Peter Thomson and Michael Wolveridge, this 6900 yard, par 72, park-land style course is located 30 minutes from Chiang Mai, in the foothills of Northern Thailand. The 2000 rai site, a former fruit orchard, provides breathtaking panoramic vistas of mountains in the distance. The high altitude provides a cooler, less humid climate, sweet refreshing air, and gentle breezes. It's filled with the songs of birds, an abundance of wildlife, and thousands of flowering trees erupting in different fragrances and colors every month of the year. The design uses elements from a British links style course, including bumpy gently rolling fairways, pot bunkers and closely mowed areas around the greens Alpine North Golf Club Chiangmai-Lamphun that was closed March 2008 and totally re-design by world-famous golf course designer Ron M Garl, It opened again for the public on 1 November 2008. An 18 holes, 7,541 yards, par 72 champion ship course.Ron Garl also designer Alpine Bangkok that have held Johniee Walker classic twice with winners as Tiger Woods and Miguel Angel Jiminez The Alpine Golf Resort Chiang Mai comprises some 450 rai of land that nestles in a valley between the mountain ranges in the heart of the San Kampaeng natural forests. It is undoubtedly one of the golf courses in Chiang Mai that boast of the best in natural beauty. The design of the course, was inspired by the magnificent hills in its horizon. No matter where you are on the course, you are enjoy nature at her best: exquisite lush green from the nearby forests which comprise a rich assembly of trees such as the golden teakwood, the Dipterocarpus Alatus and many more other species.   A visit to The Alpine Golf Resort promises an unforgettable experience. First, the course is complete with a full range of facilities including a 4-star resort so that you can bring your family members for a well-deserved breakaway. Last but not least is the opportunity to enjoy good food and the pleasure of a spa indulgence after your round of golf  and all this in the spectacular ambience of the hills of Chiang Mai.   Green Valley Golf Club - Chiang Mai Situated in the lowlands, only 20 minutes from downtown Chiang Mai, this Dennis Griffiths & Associates designed championship course offers an unusually tough challenge. The heat and humidity, along with the 7,200 yards of wide open fairways, tough water hazards on every hole, plenty of bunkers, and few trees, make for a difficult and thirsty round of golf. Ideally played in the early morning or late afternoon, due to lack of trees, this tournament calibre course has Chiang Mai's most superbly conditioned and maintained fairways and greens. The clubhouse is a model of excellence. Green Valley is now featuring night time golf that is a must to try out with stunning background lighting behind the palm trees. At the time of writing it is 9 holes with superb lighting and later on this year 2010 the whole course will be lid up.   Mae Jo Golf Club  Sculpted from fertile orchards in the foothills 20 minutes north of Chiang Mai is one of Asia's finest courses. Beautifully designed 6,700 yard, par-72 jewel from 2004 by Seni Thirawat is risk-reward, as its lush, narrow fairways slither through the sweetly scented mango, citrus and lychee "Garden of Eden" like the golden pythons golfer's sometimes see. Throughout the year the air is sweetly scented with fragrant blossoms, and the trees laden with fruit. Created Banthun Tantivit, the clubhouse, restaurant, lodge, golf course and extensive practice facilities are impeccably first-class. Although only opened in 2004, it???s superbly conditioned fairways and greens play more like a mature course than a newly constructed one. The breathtaking vistas from the 15th tee is but another great reason to visit Mae-Jo.  Malmo Golf Club from Sweden ready to tee-off at Mae Jo Golf Cours Gassan Khuntan Golf Club and Resort Only one hour south of Chiang Mai is Gassan's new Khuntan Resort. Khuntan means "Devil Mountain" and this 18-hole, 7,100 yard, par-72 creation from 2004 is devilishly difficult. Tucked in the "dragon-like' folds of Lampang"s foothills on a riverbank, the distinctive design of the course, clubhouse and resort is pure "eye candy". Its target golf/risk-reward style, the lack of a practice range, no golf course guidebook, and clever optical illusions make hitting the right shot, with the right club, to the right spot a true test. When you stand on the tee of the par-3, - 5th hole and face a mid-iron shot to a tiny island green, in the middle of a huge lake, into the teeth of swirling winds, you will know why this course is aptly named. Although club/shot selection are demanding, the relentless challenge only adds to the experience. To gain par takes focus, making the occasional birdie that much more special. For an unforgettable day of golf in a truly spectacular setting, head south.   Gassan Lake City , Lamphun Experience the charm of Northern Thailand at Chiang Mai"s newest championship golf course. Only 15 minutes south of Chiang Mai is Gassan's newest masterpiece, the extraordinary Lake City.

When it reached this spot, it trumpeted, circled three times, and knelt down which was interpreted as a sign indicating an auspicious site.   Hmong: The Hmong or Meo is the group living in China, Vietnam, Burmar,Laos and Thailand. They call themselves Hmong and are separated into two major groups  "White Hmong" who call themselves Hmong Daw ad the Striped Hmong or Blue Hmong who call themselves Hmong Njua.

This ride, although not easy, is a great introduction to off road downhill mountain biking. At the Lake a our favorite Lunch spot prepares the well deserved meal for us. After Lunch we head back to Chiang Mai the lazy way, in the truck and full of great memories. When: Daily 9:30 am-3:30 pm.

After passing a high country Royal Planting Project, we enter the great divide, a barely used and unmaintained path. We practice our art of Mountain Biking, moving in and out of ruts, over rocks and roots, and quickly arrive in the deep jungle gully between the two mountains. Now at 3200 feet elevation, we notice the tropical forest emerging from the pine woods, with huge banana leaves and plenty of bamboo filtering the light. Once at the bottom of the gully we begin a long and rewarding uphill back to 4100 feet, some ride, some walk, concentrating and preserving energy on the way to our summit. A 200 year old bamboo grove greets us at the top, where a lengthy and well deserved break is taken. Continuing along the high road with fantastic views of the valley below we ride a gradual , long downhill. Warmed up we play in and out of ruts and holes, sand traps and rocks. The challenging terrain forces us to maintain full concentration on riding and moves us into ” the zone “ of the sport. The hill tribe village at the end of the forest trail brings us back to civilization. Once in the Mesa Valley we enjoy a beautiful winding paved road downhill all the way to our favorite eating spot near Wat Ampawan.

Fantastic forest riding with great views from open plantations, are followed by a break at a refreshing mountain creek. With only short steep up hills we wind our way across the valley, past small farm houses while witnessing the local hill tribes in there natural environment. Then we ride further down hill between plantations and forest with beautiful pine trees changing to eucalyptus growth on the way down to the Mae Rim Valley floor. The rarely used forest road presents the rider with plenty of challenges. This trip ends at beautiful Wat Ampawan, where our driver is waiting for us. A late lunch at a secluded Orchid Farm with a small lake, gives us a chance to reflect on significant events during this eventful day.
