with some great memories and stories to tell everyone.<br />
POOPOO Paper Park<br />
POOPOOPAPER Park is THE park with the funny name, that no one<br />
should miss in Chiang Mai. It is a great interactive outdoor museum style<br />
park which is great for the whole family.<br />
On the self-guided tour around the park kids will learn all about the<br />
process used to make the now world famous paper products from the<br />
fibres found in elephant dung. They can also create or decorate notepads<br />
and book markers at one of the different workshops.<br />
Typically a tour lasts around 45 minute during which kids stop off at the<br />
eight different pavilions and learn the entire process used to make poo<br />
poo paper. Local artisans are on hand and staff are very professional, they<br />
know how to play and take care of kids. Great for ages 4 and up. Open<br />

Elephant Nature Park<br />
A real treat for kids is a visit to an elephant<br />
sanctuary: seeing elephants enjoying themselves in<br />
a natural setting is such a different experience from<br />
the zoo. In Chiang Mai, the Elephant Nature Park<br />
is an elephant sanctuary where elephants roam<br />
free. During the day, kids will learn about the habits<br />
of elephants, walk them to the open fields, to their<br />
mud baths and even play with the baby elephants.<br />

Siam Insect Zoo<br />
In Mae Rim, close to Tiger Kingdom and Poo Poo Paper<br />
Park, the Siam Insect Zoo is a “must do” activity for children,<br />
it might even be the highlight of their trip.<br />
At Siam Insect Zoo they have everything to create some<br />
amazing photos. If butterflies are your thing you are welcome<br />
to sit in the butterfly house and enjoy hundreds of butterflies<br />
and tropical flowers found within. If your children are feeling<br />
a bit more adventurous, they can go see some of the spiders,<br />
insects or lizards they also have on hand. Kids can get that<br />
perfect picture of a giant beetle or spider crawling up their<br />
arm, sure to make all their friends back home do a double<br />
take. The Siam Insect Zoo is great for all ages.<br />
