Mae Sa is a bit old fashioned in its attitudes toward elephant entertainment but it enjoys a good reputation for the general welfare of the herd.

• You can book a car with driver for hire at one of the many travel agency in Chiang Mai city town on the main street. The Maesa elephant camp is about 40 minute drive away from Chiang Mai on the journey north to Maerim.
• You will observe some of the countryside. The park itself is very clean and the Elephants are well taken care of.
• Take the opportunity to go to see up close with the elephants and their mahout before the show.
• Apart from day visits, you can try out the basic mahout training course if you feel compelled to learn more deeply into the elephant’s nature.
• The Mae Sa Elephant Camp has a high fertility rate, which a good sign that the elephants are mentally and socially athletic.
• You will be able to have your pictures taken and get a kiss. Have a wipe on hand, but defiantly don't miss it.

Tiger Kingdom is other popular tourist attraction in Mae Rim District, it is located in the Mae Sa Valley about 10 Km away from Chiang Mai City.

• You must be willing to accept the risk of something terrible happening, so you shouldn't bring any children into the tiger cages under your care.
• You can come and have a peak into one of the cages and then you can buy 15 minutes with one (or many) of four different age groups – newborns, “teenagers” and adults.
• It’s recommended to bring your camera, but no worries if you forget it. For 500 Thai Baht per cage (i.e., per animal size), you can have a photographer take photos of you with the tigers.
• It's better to visit the newborn tigers first, as you can hold and feed them. But if you’re a real tiger-lover, you’ll probably want to cuddle up with one of the big guys.
• Tigers can smell humans from about 1 km/.6 mi away; don’t wear strong perfume when you visit them, as the smell can irritate them.
