Meet some elephants for a day in their natural environment as you help out in the daily care of these majestic animals. This visit lets you get to know the elephants as you feed, wash, and interact on their own terms, full of close interaction with some of the biggest mammals on land.
The day starts with a ride from your hotel in Chiang Mai as a minibus carries you to the grounds of Happy Elephant Home. Once you arrive, change into the provided clothes to get ready for a day with the elephants and get an introduction to your itinerary. You spend the morning feeding, washing, and getting to know the gentle beasts, and then relax with a delicious Thai lunch.
After the meal, you have a chance to cool off in the swimming pool, enjoy the scenery around you, and even join the elephants in a mud bath. Follow up by walking with the elephants to the Mae Taeng River. When you're done washing, swimming, and playing with the great and friendly creatures, bid farewell to the elephants and start the ride back to your hotel.

4.9 out of 5
Apart from holdups on the journey to the camp, which was road works and not their fault, this was a thoroughly enjoyable day out. It was magic to be around such wonderful creatures and interact with them in very natural surroundings. We truly recommend this this to anyone that wants to be with elephants that are not being exploited, but rescued and living a nice natural life.

Did this with my husband and my 10 month old son. Amazing experience! Would absolutely recommend to anyone and would do it again in a heartbeat next time we visit Chiang Mai
