Highlights

  • Spend your day surrounded by nature at Chiang Mai Elephant Sanctuary as you learn about elephant care, conservation, and more.
  • An English-speaking guide will accompany you throughout, sharing insights on elephant welfare and helping you engage with the animals.
  • Whether you’re short on time or want to spend the whole day with these gentle giants, there’s a package for everyone. Don’t want to drive? Choose the round-trip hotel transfers for added comfort.
  • Choose the *Feed & Shower Program* for a short yet memorable experience, or the *Watch Me Program* if you’d rather observe them in their natural habitat, capture photos in traditional Karen attire, and enjoy an authentic Thai lunch.
  • With the *half-day or full-day tours*, spend more time connecting with the elephants; walk with them to the river, join feeding and mud-spa sessions, try Thai cooking, and unwind with a hearty Thai meal before heading back
