One of the best day excursions! - This was a fantastic experience! We were picked up at our hotel and driven into the mountains where we hiked to the waterfall. We then returned and had a great lunch and then so much time with the elephants including rubbing them with mud and going in the river with them. Finally we end with a raft ride down the river. Just a perfect day. Special thanks to our guide Te! He was the best and shared so much knowledge.

Amazing and Spiritual Experience at Chiangmai Elephant Home - Our group of four friends (aged 26-33) had an absolutely unforgettable day at Chiangmai Elephant Home, and it was made even more special by our incredible guide, Te. From start to finish, the experience was perfectly organized, educational, and deeply meaningful. The day started with an exciting rafting adventure, followed by a serene walk through the jungle to a beautiful waterfall. Te was an excellent guide, sharing his knowledge about the flora, fauna, and the culture as we made our way toward the elephant sanctuary. When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and enjoyed a delicious lunch together. Afterward, we prepared special “medicine balls” for the elephants—a thoughtful way to learn about their health and care. Feeding the elephants was a heartwarming moment, and spending time with them in the mud lake and river was pure joy. Covering them with mud and then washing them in the river was not only fun but also deeply spiritual, connecting us to these majestic creatures in a way we will never forget. Safety was clearly a priority, as each elephant had its own trainer who ensured everything went smoothly. After rinsing off ourselves and taking a refreshing shower, we headed back feeling truly fulfilled. Te’s warmth, expertise, and passion for the elephants made this experience exceptional. It’s clear that Chiangmai Elephant Home genuinely cares about the welfare of their animals and about creating an authentic, respectful experience for visitors. If you’re in Chiang Mai, don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Te, and the entire team at Chiangmai Elephant Home for such a magical day!

Elephant Dreams - The elephant park is magical. We were able to ethically interact with the elephants, many of whom have been offered sanctuary after being rescued from logging work in bordering countries. The day was 'elephant-led', with feeding, washing and mud bathing. We were supervised by friendly and knowledgeable staff. Lunch was great, the park is beautiful. Highly recommend - wish we'd stayed over in the cabins, which looked comfortable. I'd do it again, if we ever return to Thailand.

Wonderful Family Experience at Chiang Mai Elephant Home - We visited Chiang Mai Elephant Home with our two kids (4.5 and 8 years old) and had an incredible experience! The team was very pleasant, patient, and knowledgeable, making the visit enjoyable and educational for both children and adults. They picked us up from our hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and returned us back at the end of the day, which made everything so convenient. The entire experience was well-organized
