Things to do in CHIANGMAI ELEPHANT CARE

Rueang was our guide and he was very good at communicating the night before our excursion with items to bring and when to meet. He gave us a very detailed itinerary of the day and was very attentive with our questions. The elephant trip was so fun and I learned alot about the Thailand species. The bamboo rafting was peaceful and beautiful. I really enjoyed the sticky waterfall and climbing up it. I would say this a must do excursion if you have an open day in Chiang Mai. We'll done Rueang! Thanks for sending us the pictures as well.

My first trip to Chiang Mai on May 8, 2026, left me with unforgettable memories. From JJ's initial introduction and explanation, I could feel the park's dedication to this project. It wasn't a commercial performance tour, but rather one that truly prioritized the elephants' lives and care. The itinerary included a fruit feeding experience, but more time was spent quietly observing the elephants living freely, walking, playing in the water, and interacting. There were no forced performances or rides; instead, we accompanied and got to know them in the most natural way. I also want to tell everyone that if you come to Chiang Mai, an experience like this is truly worthwhile. Even though the journey is a bit long, I hope everyone can understand that it's precisely because they are far from the city that they have more spacious land to roam freely. Watching them live so freely, it felt as if I could sense the elephants' genuine happiness and the feeling of being well-treated.

I had an awesome experience visiting Maerim Elephant Home despite the rain. The elephants are so adorable and the whole staff were very accommodating. We were briefed first of everything about the elephants and we were given delicious food as part of our tour package. This is truly a must-try experience if you're visiting Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Chiang Mai's Elephant Poop Paper Park is so creative! You can personally turn elephant poop into eco-friendly paper, which is both amusing and environmentally conscious. After the introduction, you can also DIY various products like bookmarks, passport cases, and notebooks. The diverse range of products and choices makes it an excellent option for family activities. Upon entry, each family receives a different colored poop paper, clearly helping to divide you into groups, which is very professional. The staff are enthusiastic and professional, and you can even choose between two different languages for the introduction, catering to all tourists' needs. It's truly a lot of fun!

Great experience with the elephants! Feeding them and making vitamin balls for them is a brand new experience for our family and we really enjoyed it! We didn't join for the bathing, because of our little one, but it looks fun! We will definitely visit again!

The driver arrived at the hotel lobby earlier than scheduled and contacted us directly via WhatsApp. The drive from the Nimman area to the sanctuary wasn't too far, but we happened to visit during Chiang Mai's rainy season, and it poured once we got up the mountain. However, the driver was very polite and waited for us to get ready. After a brief discussion, he refunded the cost of the complimentary drinks in cash and continued to wait while we finished our interaction with the elephants. The bananas and sugarcane provided for the elephants were quite fresh, and the staff were friendly to children and helped take photos. The dining area was clean and tidy. There weren't too many people at the sanctuary, probably fewer than 20.

The pick-up staff arrived at the hotel lobby at the designated time to collect us and also dropped us back off at the hotel lobby at the end, which was fantastic. We experienced a location error during the booking process, but the platform promptly contacted us and made the necessary changes, for which we are very grateful. Seeing the elephants was wonderful; our child was very happy and learned a lot about elephants. All in all, it was a worthwhile trip.

🤩 The cooking experience at CASA DE MANGO🥭 was amazing! 1️⃣ The super warm and lovely Uncle Song took us on a tour of the Mango House estate, introducing us to various spices. We picked and tasted them right there! [playful] 2️⃣ Even abroad, we diligently cooked a meal. Actually, the estate staff prepared all the ingredients, and we made a DIY pre-made meal. [facepalm] 3️⃣ Uncle Song's emotional support was spot on! For every dish we made, he'd give us high-fives 🙌, thumbs-ups 👍, and even included his singing, dancing, and excellent cooking demonstrations. The whole process was incredibly joyful! [jumping] (It was like watching a skit; he even gave us a play performance, haha.) ✅ With over a dozen of us picking, cooking, singing, and laughing together, I truly experienced the "charm of a group."

Today is the most enjoyable day in Chiang Mai. I didn't make a strategy to find the elephant camp. It was unexpectedly fun. The tour guide is also very warm and friendly. If I come to Chiang Mai next time, I will definitely come again. The elephants are so cute.
