The story
Up north, Thailand trades beaches for mist and temples. Chiang Mai's old city moves at bicycle speed: 700-year-old wats, night bazaars, coffee that competes with anywhere on earth.
The heart of the trip is a day at an ethical elephant sanctuary — no riding, just feeding, mud baths and river time with animals that were rescued to be left alone.
