Chiang Mai Elephant Friends

Warning- this is not an elephant sanctuary but a tourist business. Elephants are chained up 12 hours a day and made to do tricks.

It was an extremely relaxing atmosphere, staff were very friendly and helpful. There were multiple things to do and the accommodations were great. My only addition would be in room coffee. There was a hot water pot, but no beverage package.

Beautiful experience!

Amazing, all of it, only downside we didn’t stay longer. It was truly special. I loved the entire property. The elephants, the food, the people that worked there.

Me encantó!!! Limpio, cómodo y se ven muy bien cuidados los elefantes 💜

코끼리 보호소라고 해서 코끼리들이 자유롭게 다닐 줄 알았어요. 코끼리들은 손님이 예약한 활동을 하는 동물을 제외하고는 발이 묶인채 있었어요. 관리차원이라면 차라리 커다란 울타리를 만들었으면 좋았을텐데 아쉬움이 있어요. 발이 묶인 코끼리는 움직이는 곳이 제한되어 매우 마음이 안좋았습니다. 숙박시설은 깨끗했습니다.

This place is fantastic! The staff were lovely. The beds were worse than sleeping on the floor. I've never had such a hard bed in my life. The cabins are outdated. But I can't get over the pain of the beds. Literally like sleeping on rocks. I'd recommend visiting but not staying over or if you do one night max for the elephant wake up. It was a lovely place so I feel bad not giving 5 stars but need to be accurate in my review.

This is the most amazing place love love this place

A great experience at a great place!!

Just Wow! We had an amazing stay at Elephant Friends Resort. Our bungalow was right in the river. Very comfortable beds. Everything you need! The staff was amazing and restaurant food excellent. We did the bamboo river rafting which we loved!!! Then the morning of our departure the elephants came for breakfast. Just a magical experience. I highly recommend this resort. And the elephants are well cared for ❤️

The views overlooking the river are just amazing. The bungalow is simple but clean with wifi, comfortable bed and a/c. Staying here for the day is fantastic. You will see the elephants walking around all day and you can watch others with their elephants. I especially liked that if you sign up for a walk or bathing etc it will be only with your group. The staff go out of their way to take pics for you on your phone so you can focus on the elephants. Must do the morning wake up... the best.

What a amazing experience you can see the elephants are well taken care of the food at the restaurant was sooo good views are amazing

去年と今年2度目の滞在でした。 スタッフがとても親切でフレンドリーです。 ゾウ達も、伸び伸びと過ごしていて，とても素敵な場所です。 また，必ず訪れます！

I stayed for 2 nights in the small bungalow with the little private pool. It was absolutely wonderful. This was at the end of my first solo travel to Thailand and it was a great way to end my trip. The property was very peaceful and quiet, the elephants are just amazing, and the food was delicious. It's an hour away from Chaing Mai old town and I used the hotel transport, check in was super easy as I had already paid when I booked. All of the activities cost extra and you pay at check-out, I felt they were all very comparably priced compared to other tours in the area. I did the elephant feed & walk and the rafting. Both were wonderful! The stuff was very friendly & helpful, the food was very good and the view was beautiful. My room was clean & had an a/c unit, it was actually cool enough I never turned it on, the bed was very firm but the pillows and blankets were soft and comfy. Over all it was the highlight of my trip and I plan to return with my kids in the future.

The staff is wonderful and they treat the elephants very well. We would love to see more care for the environment with just so much garbage in and around the river but it did not take away too much from the experience. Leo was our guide for the full day and was a very kind hearted guy who genuinely cares for the animals.

Everything about my stay was amazing....staff were great, food was excellent and the elephant experience was a once and a life time adventure

This place was quiet and peaceful. Everyone here was polite and helpful. Our time with the elephants was awesome, my wife loved it! Would recommend to a friend. This place also has good food!

We had so much fun in this hotel . The staff were very helpful and friendly . I will definitely come back with my family.

コテージ自体も川沿いの素晴らしいロケーションだった。 それに加えて、象との触れ合いが素晴らしく、忘れられない体験が出来た。
