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. 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 the elephants and their care. After a traditional Thai lunch, we'll take the elephants to the river for bathing. Swimwear is recommended if you wish to join them. You will be returned to your hotel between 5 and 5:30 pm.

Half-Day Tour

You can opt for a half-day excursion instead of a full-day trip. The six-hour tour can be booked for either 6:30 am or 11:30 am, with a similar itinerary but less time at the sanctuary, ideal for those short on time.
