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. Upon reaching the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary, we'll prepare food for the elephants, allowing you to hand-feed them. You'll also have the opportunity to bathe them in mud, play with them, and take photographs. Guides will provide information about the elephants and how to care for them. After a traditional Thai lunch, we will accompany the elephants to the river for their bath. Swimwear is recommended if you wish to join them.

After a complete day of learning, we'll drop you off at your hotel between 5 and 5:30 pm.
