Visitor Reviews

We googled many different ethical elephant sanctuary’s in Thailand before deciding on this one and we are so glad we did. We wanted to make sure the elephants were treated really well so did not want anything to do with anything like riding on them etc We had an amazing once in a lifetime experience with these beautiful gentle giants, and particularly liked the fact that in the evening they are free to roam the jungle to sleep but choose to return to the park during the day clearly enjoying being fed and bathed etc We also liked the fact there wasn’t a large amount of people that could upset or scare the elephants just a few small groups Joy our guide was not only informative but very engaging and patient she answered all questions about the elephants and the sanctuary and Bob our elephant handler clearly loved his elephant Choosri and was happy to take photos for us. The whole experience was finished off by a nice Thai meal and a drink. We would thoroughly recommend a visit to this elephant park

Wonderful experience, we did the 4hr experience which included lunch which was delicious. Our guide Nadia was excellent, she answered questions flawlessly from care, daily routine and the elephant culture in thailand. We certainly left with a lot more knowledge than when we arrived. Taking a step into the elephant experience in thailand is something which we were extremely careful to do because these animals are not meant for entertainment. Going to this sanctuary was brilliant, we followed the routine and while we did interact to feed them and give them a scrub, that was the elephants routine which we were just able to enjoy. I would highly recommend paying a bit extra and doing the right thing. We came away with a full on experience with the lightest touch and footprint. 5* 100%

Our Expectations were exceeded , this day finally was great. The closness to the Elephant Choosri is breathtaking. We were alowed to take a bath and wash her in a hugh Pool. She ist 59 years old beautiful safed elephant Lady.so chilly she moves in the Lake and in the wood and are always hungry😃🍍🍌, she has a hard job to Do 20 hours to eat and only 4 hours less to sleep. Sometimes she can remember of some guest When the tourist guide Show her a Foto from peopel the join time with her together she moves her 🐘trunk to the sky and take a reaction for remembering of those guest. She has a big Territorium for Living. And the guarde spent 16 hours every day to take care of her.Thanks for unforgetabel Real Time, we apologize the afternoon .🙏Sabine und Thomas from Austria/Vienna

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours

Vet Elephant Sanctuaries

Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.

Book Through Klook or GetYourGuide

These platforms offer instant confirmation, free cancellation on most activities, and prices that are often lower than walk-up rates. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.

Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning

Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
