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.

«My kids didn’t want to leave!»

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.”

«The sanctuary every traveler should visit.»

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.
