Program Highlights
Slow down, unplug, and spend a full day immersed in elephant life. Walk beside gentle giants. Cook for them. Bathe with them in the river.
Watch them just be. It’s a rare kind of magic — where every moment feels honest, quiet, and real.
Elephant Welcome & Storytime
Begin with a short introduction where we share the story of each elephant — how they were rescued, how they’re healing, and why your visit matters.
Cooking Time: Elephant Treats
You’ll help prepare special snacks (banana, sugarcane, vitamin balls) and hand-feed the elephants — one of their favorite moments of the day!
Walking Side by Side
No saddles, no hooks, no pressure. Just a slow walk through open forest and hill paths. The elephants roam. You follow.
Lunch in Nature
Enjoy a peaceful Thai lunch on-site, surrounded by trees and the sounds of the jungle. Vegetarian options available.
Herbal Skin Spa or Mud Bath for the Elephants
Help care for the elephants’ skin with a traditional compress massage or mud spa session. It’s fun and healing — for them and for you.
River Bathing Together
Join the elephants in the water for a playful bath. Wash, scrub, and splash in a shallow, clean jungle stream.
Optional Shower & Relax Time
We have a shower and changing area so you can clean up, rest, and sip tea before heading back to Chiang Mai.

Customer Reviews
I didn’t expect to get emotional, but seeing the elephants just be — no chains, no rides, no rush — was overwhelming in the most beautiful way. This place is full of love.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
They fed baby elephants, made vitamin balls, and even got to help bathe them. My son said, “This is one of the best days of my life.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ve been to Chiang Mai three times and this is by far the most soulful, respectful experience I’ve had with elephants. No touristy vibe — just peace.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You can feel the difference the moment you arrive. These elephants are free, and the staff truly cares. This is what tourism should look like.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you're looking for tricks, rides, or selfies — look elsewhere. But if you want to connect with nature and feel part of something meaningful, this is it.
