Elephant Nature Park Day Visit

Chiang Mai, Thailand

Spend a meaningful day with rescued elephants in an ethical sanctuary where you can observe, feed, and learn about elephant conservation efforts.

About this place

Founded by Lek Chailert, this renowned elephant rescue center is home to over 35 rescued elephants, many saved from logging, street begging, or the tourism industry. Visitors can feed elephants, walk with them to the river for mud baths, and learn about their individual rescue stories from knowledgeable guides. The park operates on ethical principles with no riding or shows, focusing purely on elephant welfare and education. Book well in advance as spots fill up quickly, wear clothes you don't mind getting muddy, and bring a change of clothes for the return journey.
