The top choice for getting close to elephants, and it's very close to the Old City! The driver was very friendly! We got to interact with the elephants, feed them sugarcane, walk with them, make medicinal balls to aid their digestion (banana, brown sugar, salt, tamarind, bitter melon root, rice bran powder), and bathe them in the river. The entire environment was wonderful; learning about elephants in nature was an amazing experience! The fee also helps support the elephant sanctuary, which makes it feel very worthwhile.
Chiang Mai Lanna Elephant Camp offers an unforgettable experience! The park environment is natural and refreshing, the elephants appear healthy and happy, and the staff treat them with great kindness. They emphasize no forced performances and no riding, truly prioritizing animal welfare. Here, you can feed the elephants up close, walk with them, and even give them mud baths, making for interactions filled with joy and emotion. The guide provided detailed explanations, helping us understand the elephants' habits and the importance of conservation. The overall itinerary was smooth, and a delicious Thai lunch was also provided. This is an educational, entertaining, and heartwarming trip, highly recommended for animal lovers. It's definitely worth the price!
There are no mandatory elephant shows here; all the elephants have been rescued from commercial organizations. In this sanctuary, you can play and bathe with the elephants without any pressure.
The most unforgettable part of this Chiang Mai trip was the Lanna Elephant Sanctuary! First, the staff introduced the elephants' habits, helping us understand their personalities. We took the elephants for a walk, strolling slowly along the jungle trails while they occasionally stopped to graze, looking super cute. The most breathtaking experience was bathing the elephants. The river water was cool and refreshing, and the elephants would just lie down to enjoy it. We used buckets to splash water and scrubbed their backs, and they even sprayed water back with their trunks. Laughter filled the air the entire time.
The elephant sanctuary was what I looked forward to most when coming to Chiang Mai, and the Lanna Elephant Sanctuary certainly didn't disappoint! The female elephants here are all gentle and friendly. The part where we splashed water on the elephants to bathe them was especially fun; they looked like giant babies rolling around in the mud. There were no forced performances throughout the entire experience, just the most natural interaction between humans and animals, which was incredibly therapeutic.
I'll definitely come back to experience this again. The Lanna Elephant Camp is very kind to the elephants. Even though it was only a half-day tour, you can tell the camp genuinely cares for them.
The elephant camp experience was great, and the Chinese-speaking guide explained everything very clearly. It was quite a good value for the money.
I've already recommended it to friends who are planning to visit. Next time I'm in Chiang Mai, I'd love to come back and see these gentle giants again! The pick-up and drop-off service was also very comfortable.
