Chiang Mai Ethical Elephant Sanctuary

A no-riding day feeding, walking and bathing rescued elephants in a jungle sanctuary.

About this experience

Drive up into the forested hills outside Chiang Mai to a sanctuary that has retired elephants from logging and trekking camps.

Spend the day the ethical way — preparing food, hand-feeding the herd, walking with them through the jungle and cooling off together in a mud spa and river bath. No riding, no hooks, just gentle proximity to remarkable animals.
