🏞️ Why Visit Sticky Waterfalls?
Sticky Waterfalls is one of Chiang Mai’s best-kept secrets, where the calcium-rich rocks are naturally “sticky,” making it easy to climb without slipping. The unique texture of the rocks creates an exhilarating climbing experience, even for first-timers. Whether you choose to scramble up the rocks or simply relax and enjoy the serene natural surroundings, Bua Thong offers a refreshing break from the city’s hustle and bustle.

🎒 Why We Chose a Tour
As much as we love adventure, we also appreciate having everything planned out for us—especially when it comes to transportation! After visiting the Elephant Sanctuary, we opted for a convenient combo tour that included Sticky Waterfalls. This way, we could relax and enjoy the experience without worrying about logistics (yes, sometimes we like to be a bit lazy!). The tour was the perfect balance of adventure and ease.
