Interact with rescued elephants in Chiang Mai! Feed, bathe, and play in a no-riding sanctuary. A heartwarming experience for nature lovers.
Experience the magic of Northern Thailand with a visit to the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Chiang Mai. This award-winning ethical project is dedicated to providing a safe and happy home for elephants rescued from the logging and tourism industries. Located amidst the stunning forest-covered hills of the Mae Wang or Mae Taeng districts, the sanctuary offers a unique "no-riding" experience where you can interact with these gentle giants as they truly are—free, social, and happy. Your adventure begins with a scenic drive through rural landscapes before arriving at the camp, where you’ll receive a briefing on elephant behavior and the sanctuary's mission. After changing into traditional Karen clothing, you’ll get hands-on by preparing nutritious snacks and feeding the elephants. The highlight for many is the "Elephant Spa"—join the herd for a therapeutic mud bath followed by a refreshing wash in a natural river. Throughout the tour, you’ll learn about the elephants' individual histories from expert local guides. By participating, you are directly contributing to the conservation of these magnificent creatures and supporting the local community’s sustainable livelihood.
