Maesa Elephant Camp
Catch your breath at the Maesa Elephant Camp, one of the route’s better elephant attractions where the animals seem happy and treated well. One hour shows (8am and 9.40am daily, plus 1.30pm during high season) feature the usual circus-like antics. If you arrive between shows, you can hang out on the pretty grounds, feeding the elephants sugar cane and bananas or go on an elephant trek into the jungle (for two people, 30 minutes/one hour 800/1200B).

Nam Tok Mae Sa
Only 6km from the Mae Rim turn-off, Nam Tok Mae Sa is part of the Doi Suthep-Pui National Park. The cascade is a picturesque spot to picnic or tramp around in the woods for a bit and it is a favourite weekend getaway for locals.
