Spend your day surrounded by nature at Chiang Mai Elephant Sanctuary as you learn about elephant care, conservation, and more.
An English-speaking guide will accompany you throughout, sharing insights on elephant welfare and helping you engage with the animals.
Whether you’re short on time or want to spend the whole day with these gentle giants, there’s a package for everyone. Don’t want to drive? Choose the round-trip hotel transfers for added comfort.
Choose the *Feed & Shower Program* for a short yet memorable experience, or the *Watch Me Program* if you’d rather observe them in their natural habitat, capture photos in traditional Karen attire, and enjoy an authentic Thai lunch.
With the *half-day or full-day tours*, spend more time connecting with the elephants; walk with them to the river, join feeding and mud-spa sessions, try Thai cooking, and unwind with a hearty Thai meal before heading back
