Discover a more mindful way to experience elephants at Kerchor Eco Elephant Park in Chiang Mai. This community-run project is led by the Karen people, an ethnic group with deep-rooted traditions in elephant care. Here, elephants are treated like family, not used for entertainment. No riding, no tricks—just a chance to observe and interact with them respectfully, on their terms. You’ll learn about their daily routines, personalities, and history in a setting that prioritizes the animals’ wellbeing above all.

What makes this place stand out is its sincere commitment to sustainability. Most of the income generated goes directly toward elephant care, covering essentials like food, veterinary services, and habitat preservation. A portion also goes toward improving the lives of local Karen families, helping preserve their way of life. If you're seeking a meaningful and ethical travel experience, Kerchor offers a chance to connect with both the elephants and the people who care for them in a way that feels real and responsible🐘💖.
