Elefanttien turvapaikka Chiang Maissa, Elephant Dream Projectin toimesta

2026/05/08第一次的清邁旅遊就讓我留下難忘回憶 從一開始JJ的介紹與說明，就能感受到園區對這個計畫的用心，不是商業化的表演行程，而是真正以大象的生活與照護為優先。 行程中有安排餵食水果的體驗，更多的時間則是在一旁靜靜觀察大象們自在地生活、散步、玩水與互動。沒有強迫表演、沒有騎乘，而是用最自然的方式去陪伴與認識牠們。 也想和大家說，如果來到清邁，真的很值得安排一次這樣的體驗。即使路程比較長，也希望大家能理解，正因為遠離市區，牠們才能擁有更寬廣的土地自由奔跑。 看著牠們自在生活的模樣，彷彿也能感受到大象們真正開心、被善待的心情。

我喜歡這個園區的態度。一開始找團就設定只願意陪大象散步，本身並不想過度干擾這些溫柔的巨獸,畢竟只有半天或一天的時間不可能跟這些大象混熟，也不想自己弄得髒兮兮。我的設定應該是純拍照加健行走路，然後接近他們就好了。但還是非常愉快，雙手拿西瓜甘蔗，然後一些草讓他們吃點點心。大象那麼巨大，每隻的個性都不一樣。還是有一點危險性，一定要聽工作人員的指導，這個園區是一個大象家庭，我們看到了三隻。其中一隻Yaya比較調皮。另外兩位長輩大象比較穩定。大象竟然有點怕貓跟狗 ，還是不喜歡貓跟狗我不是很確定。

We had the best day visiting the elephant dream project. the guide and owner of the elephants was fantastic. It truly is a real ethical sanctuary as the elephants are treated like family members and are well cared for. Lunch was great and the long van ride was well worth it in the comfy van! highly recommend!

★★★★★ Truly Ethical & Heartwarming Experience The Elephant Dream Project in Chiang Mai was an incredible experience. The service was excellent, the van was comfortable, and there was a short snack break on the way. This is a genuinely ethical sanctuary – the elephants live with local families and are all rescued. There is no riding or bathing, just respectful feeding and time spent observing them peacefully. We even met a 60-year-old grandmother elephant who has slowly regained trust in people. You help prepare their food, enjoy a delicious lunch, and visit beautiful waterfalls afterwards. The guide was funny and passionate, and your visit truly supports a real sanctuary working to rescue more elephants. Highly recommended.

The elephant tour is absolutely worth it. The elephants are clearly well cared for, and you can see the respect and love the locals have for them. If you want to directly support the families who own and care for these elephants, booking your tour here truly makes a difference. Your money goes straight toward helping this community and sustaining this meaningful project.

You can tell that the people that run the sanctuary really care for the elephants under their care. During the trip, the caretaker show you how to interact and feed them. Also, it is important to note that some days the elephants don't want to do some things and the caretakers do not force the elephants to do said things for tge tourists' entertainment. Also, if you book the full tour, you get to make supplements for the elephants and get to see a beautiful waterfall(just be carefule walking by the waterfall as it can be quite slippery) If you are ever in Chiang Mai, I highly recommend going on this tour as it is both fun and educational.

super bonita experiencia el guia es super amable, los elefantes estan hermosos , caminar con ellos en la montaña ,darles de comer fue una bella experiencia súper recomendable,ojo el camino es demasiada curva lleven dramamine

super enjoyed our experience with the elephants, they are very gentle and likes to play with people. I love that the elephants here are given free will to do whatever they want and are not forced to entertain people, elephant dream project takes care of these gentle giants in a very ethical way and always reminds tourists that we should never force them and just let them do what they want. just simply take care of them.

💯 ethical elephant sanctuary! When visiting Chiang Mai, itineraries almost always include a day trip to an elephant sanctuary. As tourists/humans, it is absolutely our obligation to do our research in finding ethical elephant sanctuaries that don’t force the elephants to interact with visitors in exchange for profit. Elephant Dream Project fits the bill—visibly happy and healthy elephants, no forced interactions such as bathing or riding, owned and maintained by local Karen Tribe villagers, and visitors follow the elephants (versus other “sanctuaries” where elephants follow the visitors or Mahouts/guides). Compared to other sanctuaries, Elephant Dream Project is more lowkey and less commercial, which gave me a good impression because it appears that profit goes to elephant food and welfare. Please, support Elephant Dream Project to continue giving their elephants happy and safe lives! 🐘

The most amazing part of my stay here in Thailand. I was able to see elephants doing there own thing. They weren't forced to entertain us like many places in Thailand. I would go back to see these amazing creatures.
