Day Trip Details

After hotel pickup between 8 and 8:30 am, we will travel 1.5 hours to the Chiang Mai Elephant Sanctuary, encountering the Thai rainforest. At the sanctuary, prepare food for the elephants and hand-feed them. You can also bathe them in mud, play with them and take photographs. Guides will provide information about the elephants and how to care for them. Following a traditional Thai lunch, we will take the elephants to the river for their bath. Bring swimwear if you wish to join. After this full day, we'll return you to your hotel between 5 and 5:30 pm.
