What You'll Experience

Experience the jungle with the loving and intelligent elephants in small groups
Get a chance to feed and bath the elephants along the river
Start the trip conveniently with pickup service from Chiangmai city center
Enjoy complimentary photographs taken by professionals

Nestled in the heart of Chiang Mai’s lush and verdant landscape lies an enchanting sanctuary where the gentle giants of Thailand roam free and majestic. As you enter the gates of the elephant haven, the vibrant cacophony of the jungle greets you, mingled with the trumpeting calls of elephants. Their grandeur is undeniable; skin rough like aged leather, tusks gleaming like ancient ivory, and eyes that tell tales of centuries past. 

Walking beside these mammoth creatures feels surreal, their lumbering strides heavy with grace and history. Engaging in a mud bath with them, you’ll find their playful nudges and hearty splashes infectious, drawing laughs from even the most stoic visitors. The highlight, however, is feeding them — the delicacy of their trunks tenderly plucking bananas from your hand is a humbling reminder of their intelligence and gentleness. 

As the sun sets behind the rolling hills, painting the sky in shades of gold and crimson, you realize this isn't just an encounter; it's a soulful connection with one of nature’s most awe-inspiring beings

Amazing experience! This is the highlight of our trip. The guide is very knowledgeable and the elephants are friendly, especially the little boy Forest Gump. Will definitely come back when we have a chance. There are several dogs living in the temple near by, they will come greet you so if you can bring some dog food with you, please do it!

It was great and really fun. But I wish the team could prepare a proper shuttle car. Because at that time it was raining and windy all day and the car didn't have a proper door so we kept getting splashed with rain on the way to go and back
