At nearly 200 acres, the Royal Park Rajapruek is a massive expanse with more than twenty unique zones, a royal pavilion, cultural displays in the international gardens, and eight different shuttle bus stops to help you get around. It was absolutely well worth the visit, and I highly recommend it as a Chiang Mai must-do!

Doi Inthanon National Park is really a must-see destination if you're visiting Chiang Mai. I really enjoyed the tour we did, which included visiting an ethical elephant sanctuary, as I described in my last post, hiking through a rice paddy, swimming under a waterfall, and visiting the highest point in Thailand.

Chiang Mai is one of the best places to go if you want to spend time with Asian elephants. There are tons of ethical elephant sanctuaries within about an hour's drive from the Old City, and many tour companies offer full-day combination tours so you can feed elephants, explore some pagodas, and enjoy a number of other natural attractions in the Khun Tan Mountain Range.

From gorgeous beach resorts and boardwalks, to water parks and theme parks, to a historic fort, an aquarium, and so much else to do, Singapore's Sentosa Island is truly stacked with adventure. The best way to get there, and arguably one of the best reasons to go, is via cable car from the gorgeous Mount Faber Point.

Established as a military fort in 1861, Fort Canning Park is a gorgeous 54-acre public area with numerous gardens, sculptures, and the super Instagrammable Tree Tunnel.
