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. The journey takes an hour and a half through the Thai rainforest. At the sanctuary, you'll prepare food for the elephants and have the chance to hand-feed them. You can also bathe them in mud, play with them, and take photographs. Guides will provide information about elephants and how to care for them. Following a traditional Thai lunch, we'll accompany the elephants to the river for their bath. Bring your swimwear if you wish to join them! After a day of learning about these animals, we will drop you back at your hotel between 5 and 5:30 pm.

Half-Day Tour

You can choose to book a half-day excursion to the elephant sanctuary instead of a full-day trip. This six-hour tour can start at 6:30 am or 11:30 am, following a similar itinerary but with less time at the sanctuary, suitable for those with limited time.
