5.0 based on 266 reviews
Conserve Natural Forests (CNF) is a NonProfit charity foundation focused on forest restoration and wildlife conservation located outside of Pai, Northern Thailand. CNF has dedicated itself to restoring and enriching natural ecosystems through reforestation efforts as well as reproducing, rehabilitating and reintroducing endangered indigenous species populations to their native environment. A tour of our site maintains a balance between intimate time spent with endangered species on-site, the elephant(s) we are rehabilitating for release back into the wild, and education on the evolution of ecosystems and forest habitats in Thailand. Individuals who visit our site will leave with an intricate understanding of how elephants contribute to maintaining a healthy, bio-diverse ecosystem and how important it is to restore them to their natural environment to have successful reforestation efforts. Our organization maintains a focus on honesty and integrity in conjunction with our mission.

This was such a beautiful experience. Their main focus is planting trees to save our forests and environment. Jason was incredibly knowledgeable about the project and was able to answer any questions about reforestation and taking care of the pregnant elephant, Cami. The land is breathtaking, we crossed a river to watch the elephant eat tons and tons of trees in her natural habitat. My favorite part was planting a tree. It feels like a family, we were able to relax with some delicious passionfruit mojitos and home-cooked Northern Thai food :) I would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone looking for a genuine experience.

Amazing scenery and superb views. Be careful because there are some steep trails and the trails can be slippery after rain.

For the price of a donation you can enter this local farm and walk through the massive split caused by an earthquake. It's very interesting to see, and fun to walk through. We saw some pretty interesting lizards along the way. After the walk the owners kindly invite you to sit and enjoy some of their homegrown products, such as roselle juice and jam, banana and papaya, tamarind, delicious banana chips and tiger peanuts, all of which you can also buy from them. It was a very nice experience

We were there just at sunset and saw the monks. Very pretty. You can take the songtheuw truck up from town at 30 pp or, drive up. This drive is excellent practice if you want to scooter up to Pai!
9. Pai Hot Springs

Reviewed By jacklS470UH - Sydney, Australia
Wow. This was a great experience. A natural wonder and phenomenon. The heat of the water is amazing. Hydrate and get in there! Lots of health benefits. I enjoyed a bath for about half an hour. Not crowded at all (and I was there in peak season). A delight to listen to nature whilst learning about the marvels of how the springs came to be. True- 300 Bart entry fee is a little on the expensive side when compared to the rest of Thailand. But let’s be honest- for less than 10 USD (the price of a beer back home)- don’t let your stubborn traveller mind get the better of you. I came out feeling very relaxed - and I’m sure you will too!

Beautiful village and people. I was so shocked when I saw people taking pictures of them without asking - it was really uncomfortable and almost creepy. I left the village feeling very sad. Unfortunately these people are being exploited for tourism. They are refugees in Thailand and this is the only way for them to make a living. Do your research before going and please be respectful! I can’t imagine trying to make myself lunch and a bunch of tourists come into my house and take pictures of me. Some people are happy to get their pictures taken, all you need to do is ask. This village is not a human zoo for your entertainment. Please respect their space and their culture. Have genuine curiosity and appreciation. If you want to support them, buy their handmade crafts.
