2 Days 1 night Elephant Experience: the Chiangmai Elephant Home offers visitors an enjoyable opportunity to spend quality time with elephants in their natural home. As well as gain an insight into their history and behavior. You will enjoy your time trek through the jungle and agricultural areas. And learn about tropical ecosystems from your local guide. And then spend a wonderful time learning and interacting with these majestic animals on your second day.
We would love to tell you that we aim to provide a better life for the elephants. Therefore we do not agree in ELEPHANT RIDING and ELEPHANT PERFORMANCES within our program activities. In all of our program activities visitors can observe or participate with the elephants in nature. So you will have an opportunities to walk, feed, bath and play with them close up. We are happy to provide them a safe, loving and secure environment for them to roam free in a natural environment.
We did the half day tour. It has been my favourite day of our holiday by far. The guide was friendly and helpful and... the rest of the small group were great company. The elephants were spectacular. There were two adults and a baby and it was slightly intimidating at the start to be so close to them without a fence or a wall separating us. The nerves soon went and in seconds I was popping bananas and pieces of sugar cane right into their mouths. Their trunks went straight for our food baskets and we quickly ran out. Next we were given the opportunity to give them a mud bath, followed by a rinse-down in a nearby river. Worth every penny and highly recommended.read more
Wonderful experience interacting with the elephants. More than just feeding them, we gave mud baths, rinsed & scrubbed... them off in the river. Plus lunch and a trip to the waterfalls.read more

Juste MAGIQUE! Sanctuaire recommandé par plusieurs locaux, cadre magnifique et reposant, moments de partage avec les... éléphants (attention il n'y en a que 2 : une maman et son bébé mais vous aurez bien un moment privilégié avec eux), laissez-vous porter et prenez la journée complète!read more
Une journée magique, des accompagnateurs au top Pour une déconnexion totale et une vraie découverte des éléphants... (parole de quelqu’un n’ayant pas la fibre avec les animaux). C’est un vrai moment de partage. Les éléphants se balladent en libertéread more
Très déçue... Sur une journée complète, nous avons passé en tout et pour tout 1h avec les éléphants. Nous sommes... arrivés vers 10h au sanctuaire. Nous nous sommes changés pour mettre leur tenue qui va bien, puis nous avons préparé la nourriture pour les éléphants. Nous nous rendons ensuite auprès des éléphants, pardon 1 seul et unique éléphant présent (heureusement que nous n'étions que deux), pour le nourrir. Moment agréable mais très fugace car dès que la nourriture s'épuise l'éléphant s'en va (normal il fonctionne à la nourriture). Nous l'observons de loin... Il est 11h30, on nous sert le repas (fried rice simple), puis on nous met dans un coin pour un temps calme jusqu'à 13h00.
3 autres personnes arrivent pour le programme d'une demi-journée et commence à preparer la nourriture pendant que nous nous rendons auprès, toujours, du seul et unique éléphant pour le bain de boue et la toilette dans la rivière. Nous sommes dans la boue, nous lui faisons des petits massages. Très vite l'éléphant en a marre d'être assis et se lève. Pas de problème, il ne faut pas le forcer, c'est tout à fait normal. Nous nous dirigeons vers la rivière à 50 mètres pour le rincer sauf que pendant ce temps, à 20 mètres l'autre groupe commence à donner à manger au 2ème éléphant revenu de sa balade. Donc obligatoirement, "notre" éléphant sent la nourriture et s'en va. Fin du temps avec les éléphants il est 13h30.
Puis nous partons pour voir une cascade et on nous ramène à l'hôtel à 15h30, alors que la journée devait se finir à 17h30.
En plus, la personne de Chiang Mai Elephant Home voulait à tout prix nous prendre en photo avec son portable et pas les nôtres en nous disant qu'elle nous les enverrai, 1 mois et 3 relances après nous attendons toujours.
Je vous recommande Maerim Elephant Home. Nous sommes arrivés pour uniquement nourrir les éléphants mais c'était beaucoup plus sympa et beaucoup plus de proximité avec LES éléphants (dont un petit) sans pour autant qu'il y ait de maltraitance.read more
Sehr gastfreundlich! Roni ist ein ganz toller Guide!!! Er hat sich sehr um uns gekümmert! Wir haben viel über Elefanten... gelernt und durften mit ihnen eine schöne Zeit verbringen. Roni erzählt dazu viel über das Land die Menschen und die Natur. Habe schon viel gesehen, aber der Kurztrip hat sich sehr gelohnt!!! Gerne wieder!!!read more
Ronie was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! Very funny, friendly, and informative - and kept us all laughing... throughout the entire trip plus kept us safe. 10/10!read more
Une superbe expérience, à faire absolument, les guides sont top et l'excursion est très bien organisée... 👌 Attraction très respectueuse des animaux. Sans problème avec des enfants en bas âge, pour la demi journée. Ce que nous avait conseillé les guides. Enjoy !!! Insta : @fizikchimieread more
Such a great opportunity to spend a wholesome day with these intelligent creatures! I can only highly recommend this... save environment for the elephants 🐘☺️❤️read more
If you have a love for elephants, this is the place to be! the love that the workers have for these beautiful animals,... is enormous. They do so much for them and the guests visiting the elephants. We had the pleasure of feeding them, bathing them, rubbing them in mud, and making up their vitamins. all whilst learning about their history and life. we have taken so much from this experience and it is a memory that I will continue to share. I cannot wait until I am able to visit Chiang Mai Elephant Home again. Such an unforgettable experience. you are missing out if you do not go.read more
Amazing experience! Definetely worth recommending. There was a two months old baby elephant that we could see and... touch. Looked really happy and playful!read more
Très bon accueil. Les éléphants sont bien traités et respectés. Pas de grands groupes. Nous étions... 4. Beaucoup d'explications sur les éléphants. Je recommande vivement.read more
Los elefantes están cuidados y protegidos. Se ve que están educados y no sabemos qué se esconde detrás de eso pero... prefiero verlos en el campo correteando y jugando en el río que en las calles de Chiang Mai montados por turistas como si fueran máquinas de carga. Gracias por esta experiencia Chiang Mai Elephant Home y a nuestra guía que fue un encanto. Sorry pero no recuerdo su nombre.read more
es gefällt der doch ziemlich natürliche Umgang mit den Elefanten die nach ausgiebigen Füttern mit ihren "Trainern"... sogar in die Nähe "nach Hause" gehen. kein Reiten, nur Schlammbad, fressen, duschen im Fluss. Das unspektakuläre Abenteuer. Die Fahrt dorthin durch den Nationalpark-Dschungel ist etwas spektakulärer.read more
Thank you for this exceptional day!! Thanks all the team, Goi and Nunu for they availability and they kindness!... ❤️We will come back for sureread more
We booked the whole package with rafting, tracking and elephant feeding. It was all an unforgettable experience. We can... highly recommend, especially our guide Ronie Handyman who told us a lot of funny stories and made sure we had the best time possible.read more
We went to the camp in Chiang Mai area. First we changed our clothes, got some explanation about the day and the... elephants,and went to make their medicine. When we went to feed them they seemed super hungry and snapped the food. The workers pulled the elephants' ears to make them move from place to place and the next group already came to feed the elephants when we came back from bathing them. Overall the elephants seemed fine but it felt like the place cares more about making money from groups then taking care of the elephants.read more
My wife and I lucked out during a visit to Chaing Mai. While stopping to take photos of a local Wat (temple), we met a... friendly Thai man visiting with his family from Bangkok. He told us he had been to the Chiang Mai Elephant Home the previous day and higy recommended it. He showed us where in Chiang Mai to book it (as some of the tourist traps book you in one location and then send you somewhere different). We were looking for a Sanctuary that did not encourage riding of elephants. Booking was easy and straightforward. My wife and I chose the full day plus hike option. We were picked up from our hotel at 8am by Ronnie, and driven out to the countryside in the back of a pickup truck (standard method of transportation for Chiang Mai). Along the way we stopped at a country market for a washroom break, snacks, and refreshments (get a Thai style iced coffee...very decadent!). The entire trip took about 75 minutes to our first stop, which was a bamboo rafting trip down a gentle river. Ronnie passed us off to a local river guide, and we took a leisurely 45 trip down the river. The river was calm with only a few small rapids...nothing to worry over but you will get a bit wet so a bathing suit is ideal for the ride. Plenty to see on the river as well...elephants, cows, oxen, snakes (tiny and harmless). After the river excursion, we met up again with Ronnie, who gave us the option of hiking to a waterfall OR a white sand beach. He recommended the waterfall, which was a shorter and easier hike, so we followed along. The hike was pleasant, not challenging for someone who frequently walks, and Ronnie regaled us with stories of elephants, his home life, and Thai traditions. After an hour or so, we arrived at the waterfall (very picturesque and romantic for this honeymooning couple), and we had 45 minutes to swim and explore. After that, it was another 30 minute walk through beautiful hilly countryside to the elephant home. Immediately on arriving we were seated to a nice Thai lunch...rice, curry potatoes and chicken, eggs and fruit. Once lunch was done, we changed into the provided elephant clothes (colorful and a bit ridiculous...but cute nonetheless), and were sent over to the food prep area. Ronnie explained to us what the elephants ate while we prepared food balls wrapped in banana leaves. My wife and I lucked out in out choice of program, because it ended up being only the two of us. Because of this, Ronnie was able to get us some extra alone time with 5 very hungry elephants (3 adults and 2 wee ones) who were more than happy to be fed, talked to, and petted. There were other groups of 10 people, but because they had chosen half day programs, we were able to get in with the elephants earlier. Ronnie was able to tell us about each elephant, their histories, and how they differed in personalities. Once the feeding was done, we switched back into our swim suits for some elephant bathing. A gentle big guy let us slather him in mud, and then took us down to the river where we were able to wash him off with big buckets of water. All the while Ronnie and the other handlers were there to make sure everything went smoothly. We opted for a photo / video option for an additional 550 Baht and were given a USB stick with everything on it before we left...a nice way to relive the memories whenever we want. At the end of the day Ronnie drove us back to our hotel and provided us with some recommendations of what we should see during our remaining time in Chiang Mai. Overall, it was a great day and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cruelty-free experience with elephants. Ronnie was an excellent guide as well, so ask for him if you get the chance.read more
Une excellente excursion dans un endroit où l’on prend soin des éléphants. Si le prix peux vous freiner un peu comme... nous l’avons été, sachez simplement que les soigneurs nous ont donné les coûts pour nourrir un seul éléphant par jour, et que presque les 2/3 de ce que vous versez partent directement dedans.
Très beau moment passé avec des une guide sympa qui donne plein de conseils pratiques sur les environs aussi
Had such a great experience, our guide was great and the elephant are so beautiful and well take care of. You can tell... by how they play with us and how they feel calm around us (shoutout to the one splashing water in my face I love you! ahah) Would definitely recommend! Thank you!read more
Absolutely amazing! From making the vitamins to bathing and feeding the elephants. Goi our guide was great, being... informative and funny. Lunch was tasty and free water was an added bonus. We would definitely recommend Chiangmai elephant home and give them 10 out of 10 * Thank you 🙏read more
