The tour was overall really well planned and itinerary worked out really well. Accommodation - Lana Palace Hotel was a decent place. Since another group requested my room I ended up getting an upgrade which was nice but also disappointing. The rooms shower head was broken and had a murky smell. 2star hotel that claims to be a 4star Meals - The included meals and the Elephant Conservatory and Morning tour was amazing. I loved the experience of watching alms giving, eating local porridge, and just emmersing in the culture of Chiang Mai. Would highly recommend the tour if you don't mind where you are staying!

Chiang Mai & Elephant Experience

Once again the Intrepid guides were fantastic. Knowledgeable, helpful and friendly - experts in what they're there to do! However, I was disappointed with the package tour. It was a 3 day tour, but all up, guides assisted for a total of maybe a day and a half. Much of the time was spent self-exploring, which I don't mind, but to pay an amount for 3days seemed a bit extreme. The accommodation was lovely, perfect in fact, even though they were unaware of any of my tour details. I had to do a lot of extra research to ensure I was getting the most out of my time in Chiang Mai, with no suggestions of places to visit or how to get there from Intrepid. Love Intrepid, but could've done this one on my own.

Western Thailand Highlights with Elephants Care

Our group of nine (teenage children and adults) spent about 5 days with Noom touring Thailand - we loved every single minute of our trip and give credit to Noom for being the perfect guide. He was knowledgeable, professional, polite, and a lot of fun to be around! He made our trip SO EASY! We never worried about anything, literally. He knew everything there was to know about all of the places we visited, he took us to delicious restaurants, he paid great attention to details so every experience we had was very special, he made sure we were always safe, and he went over and above to make all of our tours and experiences the very best! Noom helped make what would have been a nice trip an absolutely fabulous trip, and we would recommend him and his tour company, to anyone!

Why the elephants need our help.

Throughout history, elephants have been praised highly. The main threat Thai elephants face comes from human exploitation. Some of these threats include illegal logging and poaching for ivory. Other indirect threats are short sighted and mismanagement policies like industrial plantations and road or dam construction.

Thailand has both domesticated and wild populations of Asian elephants. Domestic elephants are those that get captured in the wild or even bred in captivity. These elephants are then tamed to work with elephant keepers in the logging. They ironically and unwillingly help humans to destroy the habitat they desperately require to survive. The population of wild elephants keeps reducing, and the creatures are struggling to survive. Research has shown that there are only 2200 wild elephants left.

After the government banned logging, people started using the elephants to beg on the streets of any big city in Thailand. Elephants have to walk all day or night on the dirty and congested streets. This is dangerous and unhealthy for them. Often these elephants are involved in terrible traffic accidents. This is why we, Elephant Sanctuary Thailand, have decided to help in offering the urgent help the animals need by working with already established sanctuaries.

Our responsibility at Elephant Sanctuary Thailand is to come up with a list of elephant sanctuaries where elephants get to live in the natural environment. With the increased growth of elephant parks, we have noticed that elephants are still getting mistreated. Such incidences are very discouraging, and that’s why we have dedicated ourselves to recommend sanctuaries that do their best to improve the lives of these elephants fun again. Elephant sanctuary Chiang Mai happens to be one of the best sanctuaries.

At Elephant Sanctuary Thailand we don’t discriminate any of the sanctuaries as long as they treat the elephants with respect, dignity and without abuse. Most of the shelters are non-charitable and non-governmental organizations. They host beaten and abandoned elephants that their owners don’t need anymore. These elephants get to live again like wild animals thanks to the people who visit the shelters or the donations received from well-wishers.

You can opt to visit any of the places we suggest to have fun or volunteer. Begin by booking and get the chance to give scores and reviews for each sanctuary you visit. The more scores and reviews we get, the better we can improve the lives of these gentle giants. So be part of this change and help us save as many elephants as possible.

We are also delighted to provide you with a list of activities you can do during your visit. These activities are not only fun, but also respectful towards nature and elephants. Elephant Sanctuary Thailand gives you the much-needed chance to share your time with elephants, know them and play with them. Do not wait any longer, just book today!

How to choose an ethical elephant experience in Thailand

Jan 21, 2022 • 9 min read

Increased awareness of the harm that riding elephants can cause these remarkable animals saw Thailand ’s elephant tourism industry pivot to offer "gentler" interactions. Now, amid claims by animal welfare groups that all interactive experiences can be problematic, a growing number of global tour operators no longer include them on trips. So what options are left for travelers who want to experience Thailand’s elephants responsibly post-pandemic?

The evolution of Thailand’s elephant industry addresses the growing understanding that the nation’s long history of using elephants as beasts of burden, and the reverence of elephants in Thai culture, doesn't change the harm that is done to elephants by tourism today. 

The good news is that there are now alternatives to the exploitative elephant camps where elephants are forced to perform for tourists’ entertainment. Dotted around Thailand, particularly in the northern hills around Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai , are a growing number of centers for rescued working elephants that offer a chance to encounter these incredible mammals – and help to pay for their upkeep – without causing them harm. Seeing elephants up close, while not too close, is an experience you'll remember for a lifetime, particularly if you have kids in tow.

Understanding elephant welfare issues in Thailand

There was a time when you could barely turn a corner in Thailand without seeing another billboard touting elephant rides or shows with elephants painting, balancing, or performing other circus stunts. However, that's now changed due to amendments to Thai law and because tourists have started to demand better welfare for captive elephants.

Thailand has been slow to legislate for the protection of elephants, but there have been improvements. Under Thai law, elephants are still classed as "working animals", but the new legislation will compel owners of captive elephants to provide DNA samples to the national elephant database and to register all new elephant births, allowing the authorities to better monitor the welfare of Thailand's estimated 3800 working elephants. 

There is still a long way to go, with a Chiang Mai University study published in 2021, for example, finding that more than half of elephants in Chiang Mai Thai tourist facilities have nervous tics that may reflect anxiety, frustration, or boredom.

A more effective lever pushing elephant camp operators to improve standards is growing consumer awareness of elephant welfare, buoyed by the campaigning of animal welfare groups such as NGO World Animal Protection, publishers of a helpful online guide to responsible elephant interactions.

Once seen as a harmless activity, riding in howdahs (elephant carriages) is now widely recognized to cause pain and spinal damage to elephants. Even "shoulder riding" – the traditional riding technique used by mahouts (traditional elephant drivers) – is now discouraged by animal welfare groups.

Then there's the issue of the methods used to train working elephants. Young elephants are typically caged, beaten, and goaded with metal bullhooks to persuade them to submit to carrying passengers or perform circus tricks. Even fully trained captive elephants are sometimes hobbled with chains to prevent them from escaping or harming tourists. 

The changing face of elephant tourism in Thailand

Following tourist backlash, many elephant camps have abandoned elephant rides and shows in favor of less intrusive ways to engage with elephants, such as bathing elephants in rivers and ponds, and feeding elephants. Many camps have abandoned chains entirely, allowing captive elephants to form their own family groups, in large, open enclosures. 

While this is a step forwards, some animal welfare groups encourage tourists to go further, avoiding experiences that involve direct contact with elephants because of the techniques used to train elephants to accept human interaction.

“There is still a certain element of control required for elephants to be in close contact with humans, whether it’s rides or elephant bathing,” explains Drinya Kenyon from World Animal Protection, adding that close contact with elephants also poses safety risks for tourists. “Even when elephants are under a high level of control, they can still be unpredictable.”

The global tourism industry is increasingly taking note. In 2019, ABTA , the UK’s largest travel association, updated its animal welfare guidelines to make it "unacceptable" for tour operators and travel agents (who adopt the guidelines) to offer tourists direct contact with elephants or feed elephants without a barrier. 

Since 2020, Intrepid Travel has only offered trips in Thailand that help support the elephants and mahouts impacted by its 2014 decision to stop selling elephant rides. Initiatives such as these have prompted Thailand’s elephant industry to pivot once again, with a growing number of camps now transitioning to offer observation-only elephant experiences.

The impact of COVID-19 on Thailand's elephants

There's a valid argument for not supporting interactive elephant tourism, but the situation is complex. Most captive elephants are unable to return to the wild, and they need to be fed, exercised, and given medical treatment, placing a huge financial burden on their owners.

The COVID-19 pandemic has only increased the financial burden. By mid-2020, hundreds of captive elephants had been sold or abandoned, with owners unable to cover the cost of their upkeep due to the lack of tourist revenue. More than 85 elephant camps were closed, upwards of 5000 mahouts and other elephant camp staff lost their jobs, and some of the elephant centers that led the way in promoting good elephant welfare practice are now scraping by on bank loans and donations from concerned tourists. 

With many of Thailand’s elephants on the brink of starvation by mid-2021, leading conservationist Jane Goodall stepped in to launch the Foodbank: Battle For Survival campaign in collaboration with Save Elephant Foundation founder Lek Chailert – a meaningful way to support elephants until travelers can visit Thailand again.

However, World Animal Protection claims the pandemic highlights another important reason to avoid direct contact with elephants, with Global Head of Wildlife Research Dr. Jan Schmidt-Burbach pointing out that “about 70% of emerging zoonotic infectious diseases originate from wild animals and being in close proximity with humans elevates the risk of infection.”

The lack of tourists during the pandemic has also demonstrated the unsustainability of breeding elephants for tourism. Seeing an end to this practice is a key goal of a new bill for elephant protection World Animal Protection is currently working on it with a team of experts.

With tourists now returning to the Thai Kingdom following its reopening to vaccinated tourists in November 2021, it's more important than ever to use your tourist dollars to support the ethical treatment of captive elephants. Here are five examples of high-welfare elephant tourism ventures, where elephants can be admired in a sanctuary-style environment – the next best thing to viewing them in the wild. For more, see World Animal Protection’s elephant-friendly list .

ChangChill, Chiang Mai

Opened in 2019 with support from World Animal Protection, ChangChill was the first elephant venue in the Chiang Mai area to fully transition from interactive elephant tourism to an observation-only model. Day visits begin with a jungle hike to observe ChangChill’s six female elephants moving around the hilly, jungle-covered property, an hour-and-a-half drive southwest of the city. In the afternoon, visitors relax on viewing platforms as the elephants socialize by a gurgling stream, with a guide on-hand to interpret their natural behavior. One-day visits including transfers from Chiang Mai and lunch cost 2500B (US$75).

Burm & Emily’s Elephant Sanctuary (BEES), Chiang Mai

After witnessing the hardships experienced by elephants working in tourist camps, Australian Emily McWilliam founded BEES with her Thai partner Burm Rinkaew in 2010. Visits to this lush sanctuary, a 2.5-hour drive southwest of central Chiang Mai, are structured like a mini-volunteering program, with lots of hiking to observe the natural behavior of elephants, in between helping out with elephant food preparation, construction tasks, planting trees, and other activities. BEES now has a "hands-off" policy, meaning visitors observe elephants but don't touch them. Costs start at 2500B (US$75) for a full-day visit with lunch (visiting with your own transport). Transfers are available for longer visits.

Boon Lott’s Elephant Sanctuary (BLES), Sukhothai

BLES was founded in 2007 by Briton, Katherine Connor, who dedicated her life to nurturing rescued and retired elephants after encountering a courageous baby elephant called Boon Lott ("survivor" in Thai). Visitors to BLES, located outside the village of Baan Tuek, an hour’s drive north of Sukhothai airport, get involved in all aspects of sanctuary life, from collecting elephant food from the jungle to maintaining herding areas and grazing grounds. Overnight visits including transfers and all meals cost 6000B (US$178). Due to its remote location, BLES does not run single-day tours – most visitors stay for several days on individually-tailored itineraries.

Following Giants, Ko Lanta

Also supported by World Animal Protection, Following Giants transitioned to an observation-only model in late 2019. On a day's visit to this lush Ko Lanta elephant venue, guests shadow elephants on a jungle walk and plant treats for the pachyderms to find while foraging. Those staying for the full-day program hike to a stunning cave and a waterfall, and share herbal drinks with the local mahouts . Full-day visits including transfers and lunch cost 3500B (US$105).

Phuket Elephant Sanctuary, Phuket

In 2020, this center for retired logging elephants in north-eastern Phuket opened Thailand’s largest canopy walkway, from which visitors can observe elephants simply being elephants. While feeding is allowed on some programs (half-day tours from 3000B (US$90)), a barrier separates elephants and visitors during the activity. A 7-day volunteering program is also available (18,000B (US$535).

What to bring when visiting an elephant center

Elephant centers tend to be in hot, humid rural areas. Wear lightweight clothing (with long sleeves/trousers for overnight visits) and bring a sunhat, sunscreen, DEET-free insect repellent, some sturdy shoes, and swimwear if there is a waterhole on the property, plus a change of clothes in case you get muddy. 

Also bring drinking water, ideally filling your own bottle to avoid buying water in plastic bottles. Volunteers should expect basic facilities, usually simple accommodation blocks with mosquito nets, basic cooking facilities, Thai-style bathrooms, and (often) cold showers.

Thailand Elephant Sanctuary – Top 10 Ethical Places You Should Visit

Thailand , a country synonymous with the majestic elephant, has seen a profound transformation in how these gentle giants are treated and revered. In recent years, the rise of ethical elephant sanctuaries has become a beacon of hope for the conservation of Asian elephants. These sanctuaries not only provide a safe haven for rescued and retired elephants but also offer visitors an opportunity to interact with these magnificent creatures in a respectful and humane environment.

As we delve into the history and ethos behind Thailand elephant sanctuary in this article , we will guide you on how to choose a genuinely ethical one and highlight the top 10 sanctuaries that are leading the charge in elephant conservation and ethical tourism in the country.

The History Of Thailand Elephant Sanctuary

As you wander through the lush landscapes of Thailand, the evolution of elephant sanctuaries tells a story as captivating as the creatures they protect. Once the backbone of the logging industry, these gentle giants trudged through Thailand’s forests until the ban on logging set them adrift. Their mahouts, whose livelihoods were intertwined with the elephants, sought refuge in the burgeoning tourism industry, which was not without its ethical pitfalls.

The early days of elephant tourism saw these majestic animals performing tricks and offering rides, a stark contrast to their natural way of life. Public sentiment and a growing awareness around animal welfare began to reshape this narrative, giving birth to the first ethical elephant sanctuaries. These sanctuaries became havens of healing and dignity, offering elephants a chance to live as they ought to—roaming freely, socializing, and bathing in the sun-dappled rivers.

In these sanctuaries, a new chapter unfolds—one where elephants are no longer entertainers but ambassadors of wildlife conservation. Visitors are invited not just to observe but to learn the importance of these sanctuaries in the broader tapestry of conservation. The travel experience has been transformed from passive observation to active education, fostering a deeper connection between humans and elephants.

Visitors have the chance to interact with the elephants actively

The sanctuaries we celebrate today are the result of this profound shift, places where the thrum of the jungle is a backdrop to the quiet retirement of these magnificent animals. They stand as a testament to Thailand’s commitment to ethical wildlife tourism and the enduring bond between humans and elephants. As these sanctuaries continue to innovate and collaborate with global conservation efforts, they not only offer a sanctuary for elephants but also a blueprint for responsible tourism practices worldwide.

How To Find An Ethical Thailand Elephant Sanctuary In Thailand?

Factors to consider before visiting a thailand elephant sanctuary.

If you are planning to visit an elephant sanctuary in Thailand, it is crucial to make sure that you choose an ethical one. This is important not only for the safety and well-being of the elephants but also for the authenticity and value of your travel experience. To help you select an ethical elephant sanctuary, we suggest considering the following key points:

• No-riding policy: Ethical sanctuaries do not offer elephant rides. Riding can cause long-term harm to an elephant’s spine and overall health, and it’s often indicative of a place where profit is prioritized over animal welfare.
• Transparent operations: Look for sanctuaries that are open about their practices. They should be willing to discuss how they care for the elephants and what they do to ensure their well-being.
• Elephant behavior: In ethical sanctuaries, elephants should be able to express their natural behaviors. This includes roaming freely, socializing with other elephants, foraging for food, and bathing in water sources.
• Education focus: A focus on visitor education is a hallmark of an ethical sanctuary. These establishments should provide information about elephant conservation and the impact of human activities on these animals’ lives.
• Positive reinforcement: Observe the methods used by mahouts to interact with the elephants. Ethical sanctuaries use positive reinforcement rather than hooks or other tools that can cause pain and stress.
• Conservation efforts: The best sanctuaries engage in broader conservation efforts, working to protect habitats and prevent poaching, ensuring a sustainable future for elephants in the wild.
• Responsible volunteering: If a sanctuary offers a volunteering program, it should be responsibly structured. Volunteers should have tasks that genuinely contribute to the welfare of the elephants and the sanctuary’s operations.
• Adequate space: Elephants require large amounts of space. Ethical sanctuaries have extensive land to allow elephants to roam and exhibit natural behaviors without confinement.
• Veterinary care: Regular and professional veterinary care should be evident, with specialized staff to attend to the elephants’ health needs.
• Local community involvement: Ethical sanctuaries should work in harmony with the local community, providing employment opportunities and education, and ensuring that elephant welfare doesn’t come at the expense of local people’s livelihoods.

The relationship between the mahout and the elephant is important

Trusted Sources To Find An Ethical Thailand Elephant Sanctuary

There are several organizations and websites that offer recommendations and certifications for ethical elephant sanctuaries in Thailand. These can be valuable resources for travelers looking to ensure their visit supports responsible wildlife tourism.

• World Animal Protection : An international non-profit animal welfare organization that often lists and endorses ethical elephant sanctuaries that meet their strict animal welfare criteria.
• Save Elephant Foundation: A Thai non–profit organization dedicated to providing care and assistance to Thailand’s captive elephant population through a multifaceted approach involving rescue and rehabilitation programs, advocacy, and education. Their website features ethical sanctuaries like Elephant Nature Park.
• Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS): A global body that certifies animal sanctuaries based on rigorous standards of care. Sanctuaries accredited by GFAS are usually a safe bet for ethical practices.
• Responsible Travel: This UK-based travel agency is committed to responsible tourism and offers a curated list of ethical elephant sanctuaries that have been vetted for humane practices.
• Lonely Planet and TripAdvisor: These popular travel resources sometimes feature articles and lists of recommended ethical elephant experiences, based on traveler reviews and responsible tourism guidelines.
• The Elephant Asia Rescue and Survival Foundation (EARS Asia): They work to improve the welfare of elephants in Asia and provide a list of ethical places to visit.

Top 10 Ethical Elephant Sanctuaries You Should Visit In Thailand

Here are some of the sanctuaries that stand out for their commitment to elephant welfare.

Elephant Nature Park

• Location : In the verdant outskirts of Chiang Mai, Elephant Nature Park has emerged as a beacon of hope for elephants since its inception in 1995 by the passionate conservationist Lek Chailert.
• Its story : It’s a sanctuary that has turned the tears of over 75 rescued elephants into stories of triumph. Each elephant, rescued from the throes of tourism or logging, enjoys the freedom of the park’s expansive rainforest habitat, alongside a motley crew of other rescued animals including dogs, cats, and even water buffalo.

Elephants in the natural environment of Chiang Mai

The park’s immersive visitor experience ranges from single-day visits to overnight stays, allowing you to delve into the daily life of these majestic creatures. Volunteers contribute to the well-being of the elephants by preparing their meals and caring for the park’s other residents. For those wishing to forge a deeper connection, the park offers longer-term volunteer opportunities, which require booking well in advance due to their popularity.

Boon Lott’s Elephant Sanctuary (BLES)

• Location : The intimate haven of Boon Lott’s Elephant Sanctuary resides in the serene landscapes of Sukhothai.
• Its story : Spanning 600 acres of natural wonder, this sanctuary was born from Katherine Cooper’s leap of faith, leaving behind her life in the UK to advocate for elephant welfare. The sanctuary ensures a tranquil life for its elephants, allowing them to wander through banana plantations and freshwater rivers.

With only three guesthouses, the guest experience is as exclusive as it is personal, emphasizing the elephants’ quality of life over visitor numbers. Here, days are spent in quiet contemplation of the elephants’ graceful presence and in the company of the local mahouts, whose stories are as enriching as the sanctuary itself.

The Surin Project

• Location : Situated in the small village of Baan Tha Klang
• Its story : The Surin Project tackles the complex issue of elephant abuse by addressing the economic challenges faced by traditional mahouts. It bridges the gap between the need for mahouts to earn a living and the need for elephants to live free from exploitation.

Outdoor activities of mahout and elephant

The project provides a home for nearly 200 mahouts and their elephants, preventing them from resorting to street begging or unsustainable tourism practices. Volunteers are the lifeblood of this initiative, with a minimum commitment of one week, offering a rare opportunity to immerse oneself in the culture of the mahouts and to support this vital cause.

Note : This project is currently permanently closed.

• Location : In the scenic province of Kanchanaburi, Elephant Haven stands as a symbol of transformation.
• Its story : Once known as Sai Yoke Elephant Camp, this sanctuary has shed its past of chains and performances to embrace a future where elephants have the freedom to socialize and roam without the threat of hooks or entertainment duties.

In partnership with Elephant Nature Park, Elephant Haven is at the forefront of a movement reshaping the future of elephant tourism in Thailand. Visitors can join these elephants for day visits or overnight stays, embarking on jungle walks alongside these gentle giants and participating in their care with a host of other rescued animals.

Elephants World

• Location : Nestled on the banks of the River Kwai in Kanchanaburi, Elephants World is a sanctuary that lives by a simple yet profound philosophy: “We should work for the elephants, and the elephants, not for us.”
• Its story : Established in 2008 by the compassionate Thai veterinarian Dr. Samart and his wife Khun Fon, this sanctuary serves as both a refuge for injured and retired elephants and a sustainable farm. Starting with just three elephants, it has grown to provide sanctuary to 25, each with a history of hardship from logging or trekking camps.

Visitors to Elephants World are invited to respectfully observe these majestic animals in their natural behaviors—feeding, bathing, and socializing—whether for a day trip, an overnight stay, or as part of a week-long volunteer program.

Samui Elephant Sanctuary

• Location : Koh Samui, an island known for its idyllic beaches, is also home to the pioneering Samui Elephant Sanctuary.
• Its story : Spread across 10 acres of forest, it’s a retreat for a dozen elephants rescued from the burdens of logging and tourist trekking industries. This sanctuary, inspired by the Elephant Nature Park, is a testament to the power of positive change.

Here, you can observe these magnificent creatures as they engage in natural behaviors, such as foraging and socializing, or as they splash joyfully in their custom-designed pool. The Samui Elephant Sanctuary is an intimate experience, prioritizing the well-being of elephants over the spectacle of entertainment.

Friends of the Asian Elephant Hospital

• Location : The Friends of the Asian Elephant (FAE) Hospital, nestled in Thailand’s northwest, operates as one of the world’s few elephant hospitals.
• Its story : It represents a beacon of hope for sick and injured elephants across the country. The hospital runs a mobile vet clinic that extends its healing touch to elephants in need.

During a visit, you can witness the compassionate care provided to these gentle giants and understand the complexities of treating such large animals. Since its inception in 1993, the FAE Hospital has treated over 5,000 elephants and relies on the support of visitors and volunteers to continue its noble mission.

Wildlife Friends Foundation

• Location : It is a wildlife refuge in Tha Mai Ruak.
• Its story : A rescue mission that transcends species, the Wildlife Friends Foundation in Phetchaburi offers sanctuary to a diverse array of animals, including elephants, big cats, bears, primates, and birds. Many of the over 600 animals have been rescued from deplorable conditions or were abandoned. While a significant percentage of the animals are rehabilitated and released back to the wild, the elephants, having spent extensive time with humans, remain under the sanctuary’s lifelong care.

Visitors can participate in day excursions to witness these animals thriving in a natural habitat and volunteer to assist in the daily care and environmental enrichment of over 20 elephants and other residents.

Phuket Elephant Sanctuary

• Location : It stands as the indisputable pioneer of ethical elephant sanctuaries in Phuket. 
• Its story : A beacon for ethical elephant treatment, the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary is a refuge for those who have suffered from the tourism and logging industries. Partnering with Save the Elephant Foundation, the sanctuary is nestled against the backdrop of Khao Phra Thaeo National Park, offering a serene environment for elephants aged between 36 and 70 years.

Witness a giant friend at a very close distance

The sanctuary features a treetop observation deck, allowing visitors to discreetly observe the elephants as they forage, bathe, and interact within their herds in expansive natural enclosures, complete with freshwater lagoons and hydrotherapy mud pools.

Elephant Hills

• Location : Elephant Hills blends the concept of an African safari tent camp with the stunningly gorgeous surroundings of Khao Sok, Southern Thailand. 
• Its story : This sanctuary provides a haven for elephants to live freely in the jungle, away from the chains of captivity. Recognized for its exceptional care of elephants, Elephant Hills has earned accolades for meeting all core criteria in an audit by Global Spirit. The sanctuary’s dedication to improving the lives of its elephants is matched only by its commitment to offering guests an immersive experience.

You can stay in one of two glamping camps, blending the adventure of jungle trekking, kayaking, and cultural exploration with ethical observation and learning about the sanctuary’s elephants.

Visiting the Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai

The Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai is one of the most memorable experiences in Thailand ! It’s the only place in the country where you can see elephants without causing them harm. Sadly, wildlife tourism remains a massive part of the standard backpacker trip, with most being unethical and even cruel. This vast nature reserve, however, truly provides a haven for rescued elephants, allowing them to live peacefully and healthily as they would in the wild. Watch as the majestic creatures move across the grounds or see how they cool off at their favorite bathing spot.

The Story of Chiang Mai’s Elephant Nature Park

The Elephant Nature Park is an incredible project set in Northern Thailand , only 65 kilometers from the city of Chiang Mai . Since the 1990s, it has provided a sanctuary and haven for elephants and many other rescued animals from all over Thailand.

It’s the only place to experience elephants in the country (or another sanctuary recommended by the park’s staff) that operates ethically and responsibly and has the peace and well-being of the animals in mind. The sanctuary does fantastic work for the animals, allowing them to live happily, healthily, and with minimal interaction. 

Here are all your hotel options in Chiang Mai.

Sadly, wildlife tourism is a massive part of the standard backpacker trip in Thailand, with most being unethical and even cruel. Many of the elephants in this nature reserve have been saved from the tourism industry, tree logging, circuses, and poaching. Besides taking them in, the owner, Lek, and her team do a lot of work raising awareness of the mistreatment of elephants in Thailand . 

The wildlife reserve is a sanctuary for those who can’t speak for themselves, home to 114 elephants, 670 dogs, and 2000 cats, as well as cows, buffalo, rabbits, and more. Watch how the majestic creatures interact with one another, just as they would in the wild. The Elephant Nature Park is the perfect place to admire how beautiful wild animals actually are.

Book your visit to the Elephant Nature Park here

Did you know? Thailand even has its own day to celebrate the elephant. Since 1998, March 13th is the Thai National Elephant Day.

How to Visit Elephant Nature Park

If you’ve booked a trip to Elephant Nature Park, pick-up and drop-off are included in your ticket. Early in the morning, you’ll be picked up outside your accommodation in Chiang Mai and brought to the nature reserve for the day. 

The comfortable minibus takes 60 – 90 minutes to get to the park, allowing you to get to know the rest of your tour group. After a quick stop for coffee, you’ll be at the sanctuary in no time. At the end of your experience, no matter how long (day trip, overnight, or week volunteering), you’ll be brought back to the city.

Tip: Planning on visiting an elephant sanctuary somewhere else too? Check with the park guides where else in Thailand you can find an elephant sanctuary that provides ethical care for the animals. The Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai is the best one to visit in Thailand.

Things to do in the Elephant Nature Park

Seeing elephants up close as they roam across their camp or bathe in the river is an incredible experience. While you observe the herd, take your time to relax and learn about the elephants. Throughout, you’ll get a better understanding of the sanctuary’s purpose. 

There are a few things you can do at the nature reserve, depending on how much time you’d like to spend amongst the animals and mountains. Visit for the day, overnight, or even volunteer for seven days!

Visit on a Day Trip

On a day trip, you’ll walk through the park with a guide. The elephants walk around too, and you might even have to step aside as they don’t stop for you. You’ll spend your time learning about their daily routine, watching them bathe and cover their skin in mud (as sunscreen). 

Watch as the gentle giants splash around and play while you stay dry on the river bank (bathing elephants is not an option). Or, walk across an elevated boardwalk, looking out over the reserve grounds and seeing the elephants from above.

Every elephant has their own mahout (trainer), whom they’ve been with for a long time. As you meet the herd, made up of 2 to 100-year-old elephants, you’ll witness this trustful bond between the elephant and its caretaker.

A day visit is for a full day (07.30 AM – 5.30 PM or later), and a delicious vegetarian lunch with a selection of Thai and Western dishes are included in the price. Make sure to book ahead, as this experience sells out quickly, particularly at peak times. 

Sleepover in a Lodge 

Fall asleep in the midst of thriving elephant herds and the lush northern mountains of Thailand. After a day of meeting the elephants and learning about the beautiful conservation work that’s being done, you can wind down at the park.

Overnight guests stay in private huts with mosquito nets, bedding, and an attached bathroom. Enjoy the simple rustic nature while the sun sets over the mountains, and get a better glimpse at what happens at night in the sanctuary.

Volunteer at Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai

If you wish to contribute to the incredible work that’s being done at the reserve, you can sign up to volunteer for a week. During this time, you’ll help take care of this endangered species and many other animals in the park. From preparing food and harvesting crops to creating mud pits or cleaning the shelters, there’s a lot to do!

Also read: Best Places to Visit in Thailand

Volunteering is a fantastic experience abroad and the perfect opportunity to do hands-on work in a unique program that helps protect Asian elephants. Meals and accommodation are included, as well as WiFi. There are several different packages that you can choose from on the Elephant Nature Park website .

Did you know? An average elephant needs around 200-300 kg of food and over 100 liters of water daily! This makes work at the sanctuary incredibly important, including help from the volunteers.

Tips for Visiting Chiang Mai Elephant Nature Park

Visiting the sanctuary is one of the most memorable things to do in Thailand. Here are some tips to make your trip to the elephant nature park unforgettable:

• Respect the elephants and follow the park’s rules for interacting with them. Elephant Nature Park’s animals roam freely, meaning you’ll have to keep an eye on them as you’re in their habitat. 
• Wear comfortable clothes and good shoes (no slippers) that you don’t mind getting dirty. Prepare to be walking around a lot in slightly humid temperatures. Make sure also to bring your reef-safe sunscreen , bug repellent, a hat, and plenty of water to stay hydrated.
• If you want to snap a few photos to remember this incredible experience, make sure to be mindful of the animals. Turn off your flash, and don’t make any loud noises.
• Plan ahead by booking in advance. The park can be busy, and tickets are known to sell out pretty quickly. 
• Consider staying overnight at the park’s lodge to experience the elephants and the beautiful surroundings fully. Take your time to learn more about the park’s mission as it promotes ethical wildlife tourism and conservation efforts. 
• The park is in a hilly area, meaning you’ll also travel and walk there. Prepare for some steep uphill areas!
• Tip your park guides – the guides do an amazing job here, providing you with lots of information. They help out with taking tons of pictures and videos for you too!

Hotels near the Elephant Nature Park

The Elephant Nature Park lies in the mountainous North of Thailand , roughly 65 kilometers from Chiang Mai. If you plan on visiting the sanctuary on a day tour, the park will arrange to pick you up from your hotel in the city.

Hotels in Chiang Mai 😴

In Chiang Mai, there are many incredible accommodation options for every budget, from backpacker hostels and mid-range guesthouses to luxury apartments. The Old Town is the best location as it’s where you’ll find most hotels, all within walking distance from the top sights and temples in the city. 

Wildlife Tourism

Seeing wildlife up close is an incredibly special travel experience and one of the highlights of a trip abroad. However, it should always be ethically done, with the animals’ well-being in mind. Visit wild animals in their natural environment and treat them with respect, not as something for entertainment.

Unfortunately, many wildlife experiences mistreat animals and leave them in cruel conditions. Thailand, in particular, is a popular spot for negative forms of wildlife tourism, such as tiger selfies and elephant rides. Always remember that: the less money we put into funding this kind of tourism, the more likely it will come to an end.

Though it can be difficult to find ethical sanctuaries, there are databases you can check. Elephant Nature Park is a legitimate rescue center that takes care of injured and orphaned animals. They promote the importance of responsible tourism and ethical animal care.

What to Pack for the Elephant Nature Park?

Depending on how long you plan to visit the Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai, prepare to bring a few items with you. Here are some necessary things to pack when you visit the reserve: 

Packing List

• Sunscreen and a hat – protect yourself from the sun throughout the day. Read about alternative sunscreens here .
• Comfortable clothes and shoes – opt for loose-fitting clothing and good walking shoes as you’ll be outdoors most of the time. 
• Bug repellent – if you’re not wearing long sleeves or pants, bring insect repellent. Get a non-toxic product so it doesn’t harm nature or animals. 
• A change of clothes – during jungle walks with the elephants, your clothes and shoes might get very muddy, so having a spare set is good. 
• Water and snacks – though you’ll have lunch at the sanctuary, bring some water to stay hydrated. 
• Your camera – to memorize this incredible experience. Make sure to have the flash (and sound) off when photographing the animals.
• Cash – to pay your admission fee, tip your park guides, and maybe get a souvenir.
• Refillable water bottle – you can fill up your water bottle at the park. 
• Rain jacket – if you’re visiting during the wet season of April to October.

If you’re staying longer than a day, make sure to pack:

• Layers – Layers of clothing are essential to add or remove items when the temperature changes.
• Microfiber Towel – extremely useful to take microfiber towels as they dry much faster and are incredibly lightweight.
• Flip-flops – to use at the showers or walk around the lodge.
• Long socks & trousers – For some hikes, night walks, or evenings outside, you might also want to take long socks and trousers to cover your legs and prevent being bitten by mosquitos.
• Power bank – having a power bank to recharge your phone is helpful. ( Get one here )

Best Time to Visit the Elephant Nature Park, Thailand

Though there’s no bad time to visit the Elephant Nature Park as the park’s open year-round, your visit may depend on the weather. The climate in Thailand varies throughout the country, but the best months to visit are October – November. This is the end of the rainy season which provides a cooler environment, especially in the mountainous North. 

However, seeing the elephants walk together across the grounds is a magical experience, even with some rain.

Tip: this is a popular activity to do in Chiang Mai, so it’s good to book ahead!

The Best Places to See Elephants in Thailand

Looking for a place to see elephants in Thailand but confused about which places are ethical? We’ve compiled a list of the best places to get to know Thailand’s friendly giants. The list only includes places that have sound animal welfare practices and do not let guests ride the elephants.

Join our North Thailand tour for the chance to bathe baby elephants at a sanctuary near Chiang Mai and experience many other wonderful sights and activities. Led by a local guide, you’ll get to go to places and do things other tourists often miss out on.

Elephant Nature Park

Elephant Nature Park is one of the most respected and famous elephant conservation projects in the country. Elephant Nature Park is located near the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai and is home to more than 35 free-roaming elephants, many of which have been rescued from the logging and tourism industries. A day out at Elephant Nature Park is both informative and fun. Longer volunteer placements are also available.

For a truly unique elephant experience, visit Friends of the Asian Elephant (FAE) Hospital. This hospital is one of the few elephant hospitals in the world and is dedicated to the treatment and rehabilitation of elephants. Here, you’ll learn how professionals treat sick elephants and see the fantastic equipment they have to help elephants return to good health. Visitors are not permitted to get too close to the elephants, in an effort to protect the vulnerable creatures during their healing process.

Elephant Hills

Elephant Hills is located in the picturesque Khao Sok National Park. This glamping-come-elephant-sanctuary mimics the atmosphere of an African safari. This location offers guests an immerse jungle experience and opportunities to bathe, feed and interact with the elephants. Elephant Hills won the esteemed Thai Green Excellence Award for Animal Welfare in 2015 and adheres to a strict no-riding policy.

Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand

The esteemed Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT) has nine animal welfare projects across the country. Their elephant refuge centre is located close to Hua Hin and offers visitors the opportunity to learn about Thailand’s elephant conservation issues, while walking with and bathing the elephants. The refuge centre is also home to a host of other rescued animals, including monkeys and bears. Choose to visit for the day or sign up for a one-week immersive experience.

Elephant Jungle Sanctuary

The Elephant Jungle Sanctuary has numerous locations throughout the country. However, its flagship branch is located in Chiang Mai. The Elephant Jungle Sanctuary works tirelessly to promote respect for the Asian elephant, ethical treatment of elephants and awareness about issues related to irresponsible tourism practices. The sanctuary is home to over 30 elephants who have been rescued from abuse. The elephants are lovingly cared for at the sanctuary. During your visit, you’ll walk with an elephant and watch them roam freely. For an additional immersive cultural experience, you can overnight in a local Karen village.

The Happy Elephant Home

If you are looking for a fun day out during your stay in Chiang Mai, then head to The Happy Elephant Home. During this immersive cultural experience, visitors dress in traditional attire so they do not distract the elephants with unfamiliar smells. Visitors can feed bananas to the elephants, give them a mud bath and cool off with them in the stream. Prepare to get soaked, as elephants tend to like to squirt you with water from their trucks.

Phang Nga Elephant Park

Phang Nga Elephant Park is a small family-run park, dedicated to elephant conservation and education. Here, guests learn about Asian elephants and watch them roam in their natural environment. Visitors can choose between a half-day and a full-day tour, with the full day including a bonus hands-on Thai cooking class.

Boon Lott’s Elephant Sanctuary

Boon Lott’s Elephant Sanctuary in Sukhothai is a small sanctuary for rescued elephants. Boon Lott’s sanctuary is the ideal place to spend a few days getting to know the small herd of gentle giants. Walk alongside your new friends, take them for a swim in the river and get to know the local mahouts. This destination is very popular, so early reservation is recommended.

Ethical Elephant Sanctuaries in Bangkok

• Interaction with the elephant is allowed. If the rider is loaded on to the animal’s back with close to zero interaction, it is usually to hide the fact that the animal is not friendly and not in good spirits.
• Many ethical companies won’t allow elephant riding on a chair attached to the animal’s back. Instead, they might offer an opportunity to walk alongside the elephant.
• The general behaviour of elephants can also show signs of mistreatment. Ill-treated elephants tend to sway, bob their heads and pace back and forth.

Suggested Route

Itinerary in detail.

Your private guide and driver will greet you at the airport upon your arrival and drive you to the hotel where you can rest or wander around the hotel.

The famous Wat Pho is a must-see in Bangkok and the sacred Reclining Buddha attracts a great number of local citizens and travelers. Buddhist monks hold a holy ceremony here every day. As the sun rises, the monks gather in the hall and start chanting solemnly. You will have the chance to join this pious ritual.

Take a Thai tuk tuk ride via Pak Khlong Talat flower market. Visit the Grand Palace to see its imposing architecture, precious paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts. Hop on a long-tailed boat and cruise along the Chao Phraya River to the grand Wat Arun .

Make a final stop at Bangkok's bustling China Town to see a different side of the city.

You will witness trains passing by a mere two feet in front of you at Maeklong Railway Market , just like a scene from an action movie.

The stalls close and reopen according to the train's arrival and departure. This is something that you can only experience here.

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market will satisfy your curiosity about a typical floating market. The canals are filled with boats scrambling to sell fresh fruit, snacks, and other goods. Take a long-tailed boat down the canals of this bustling market

After having breakfast, your guide and driver will meet you in the hotel lobby and drive you to the airport to catch your flight to Phuket.

Your guide and driver will pick you up from the airport and take you to the hotel.

Enjoy your breakfast at the hotel and make your way through scenic agricultural areas, rolling hills, and beaches, to arrive at Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Phuket . Your guide will tell you the history of the sanctuary and give you knowledge of the elephants while you make preparations to meet them. Unlike other commercial places, riding and performance of the elephants are not allowed here. You will spend a half-day with the free-roaming elephants by feeding and bathing them, or simply being their playmate.

Enjoy a lunch of traditional Thai food consisting of freshly cooked Pad Thai and seasonal fruit. Say goodbye to the friendly elephants and return to the hotel.

The Phi Phi Islands have a popular reputation for their emerald waters, sugar-white beaches and relaxing resorts, which make them some of the top destinations in Thailand.

Hop on a speedboat at the Boat Lagoon Marina and visit Bamboo Island first. A particularly enchanting island of white sand, sparkling crystal-clear water, and a cloudless blue sky. You can swim or simply enjoy the sunshine. Continue to Yong Island , which is an ideal place for snorkeling. You can see antler corals and colorful tropical fish beneath the beautiful water.

Enjoy a simple local buffet lunch on arrival at Koh Phi Phi Don before taking a dip in the Viking Cave , known for its swifts' nests, the main component of bird's nest soup.

Cruise back to Phuket and transfer to your hotel.

Fully relax and enjoy family time on a sunny beach at your leisure.

Catch a flight from Phuket to Bangkok then take your flight home.

Thank you for traveling with Asia Highlights and we hope to help you again soon.
