Elephants are amazing creatures – Think about photos at an eco-resort

Chiang Mai and elephants go hand in hand and thankfully there are some wonderful eco elephant locations truly worthy of a visit. Chai Lai Orchid and Patara Elephant Farm offer different but wonderful chances to be close to these amazing creatures. Just imagine having the chance to get up close to an elephant for your Chiang Mai holiday photos. Think how cool they would be taken by a professional photographer as you enjoy the time with these astonishingly intelligent and dignified giants in truly beautiful surroundings.

When is the best time for a photo shoot? – It’s all about the light!

Professional photographers know all about the best light of the day and the best places to capture epic shots. You may think bright sunlight is ideal but actually the softer light of the morning or evening are ideally suited to beautiful Chiang Mai holiday photos. The quality of the light is really very special here in the north of Thailand so, make sure you make the most of it.

For larger groups they will arrange a minivan with driver. This takes all the work out of planning a visit to some of the best locations as well as getting lasting memories captured with superb Chiang Mai holiday photos.
