About this activity
Chiang Mai Elephant Refuge is an ethical, elephant-friendly experience in a peaceful natural setting perfect for travelers who want to get close in a respectful way without disturbing the elephants. The elephants are never forced to work, with no riding, no hooks, and no chains. You’ll gain a real understanding of elephant life and behavior through hands-on care activities with the team, such as making vitamin balls to support their diet, feeding them, and sharing gentle moments like mud spa and bathing when appropriate. After the elephant care program, the day continues with a refreshing waterfall visit and a fun bamboo rafting experience, making it a meaningful and memorable day combining animal welfare and Chiang Mai’s beautiful outdoors.
