Elephant Sanctuary Chiang Mai Day Trip

This unique experience caring for, feeding and bathing Thai elephants at this sanctuary in Chiang Mai will leave you lost for words. An unforgettable day!

Day Trip Details

After picking you up from your hotel between 8 and 8:30 am, we'll set out towards the Chiang Mai Elephant Sanctuary. On the hour-and-a-half journey, we'll delve into the Thai rainforest. When we reach the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary, we'll prepare food for the elephants and you'll have the chance to hand-feed them yourselves. You'll also be able to bathe them in mud, play with them and take photographs. Plus, the guides will teach you about the elephants, interesting facts about them, and how to care for them.

After enjoying a traditional Thai lunch, we'll go with the elephants to the river so they can have a bath. Don't forget your swimwear if you want to join them!

After a complete day of learning about these amazing animals, we'll drop you back at your hotel between 5 and 5:30 pm.

Half-Day Tour

When making your reservation, you'll have the option to book a half-day excursion to the elephant sanctuary. You can choose a six-hour tour at 6:30 am or 11:30 am, following a similar itinerary to the full-day trip, spending less time at the sanctuary, ideal if you're short on time.
