On June 22nd I started working as an Dutch volunteer at Elephant Nature Park, for 1 week. I had the most amazing time. It was really special to meet the elephant, Sri Nuan. Since 2 years I'm her foster mom through the Dutch foundation Bring the Elephant Home. The work of Lek and all the other staff members is so... more

My husband really wanted to visit elephants during our trip and after much research we chose the nature park. It was the BEST experience we had during our trip. The guide was excellent, very engaging and was committed to her work at the park. We heard the story of each of the elephants and how they came to the park.... more

What a wonderful experience! Lek & the crew at the Elephant Nature Park are doing a great thing by trying to save these wonderful creatures. Hearing their sad stories made me depressed but to see them now out in their natural element, they look really happy. This is a one of a kind adventure, my whole family loved it. Thank... more

We had a great day at the Nature Park. It was both fun and informative. The guide was excellent . She spoke English well and had a passion for what she was doing. She had a great sense of humour and conveyed information in an interesting, fun way. The elephants are extremely well treated and are not there for human... more

When asked to give my impressions of The Elephant Nature Park, my first thought was - where do I begin?! do I begin with the wonderful and caring staff at the Chiang Mai office - perhaps the careful and efficient bus driver and the charm of the informative tour guide. Or shall I just mention something about the park itself?... more

My name is Josh Phinney, I am originally from Canada but I have been living in Singapore since I was three year old. I first learned about the elephant camp when I went to Chiang Mai with the Canadian International School from Singapore in May 2008. We went to the elephant camp for a day, and what I saw there... more

Loved our day with the elephants in this kind, relaxed atmosphere. Such a nice reprieve from the common exploitation of these wonderful creatures for the benefit of tourists. Would recommend this to all - learned lots and had a great lunch! more

I spent 2 days 1 night at this wonderfull Park. I would highly reccomend this place for anyone interested in seeing elephants. Even for those who are stuck on wanting to ride an elephant, I honestly think they would get more satisfaction from this park. We were lucky enough to arrive at the park the day Faa Sai was born!... more

Myself and my husband went to Chiang Mai for our honeymoon. We had a great day at the Elephant Nature park and were inspired by the lvel of commitment the sanctuary has to each and every elephant. We fell in love with Max, one of the tallest elephants there who had a heart-breaking storty (as many of them did). We... more

I stayed over night at ENP and hated every minute of it to be honest. The place was so crowded with tourists and backpackers and the elephants seemed to get stressed by being surrounded by so many people. It was loud and noisy, particulary when we went into the river to 'bath' the elephants. There were a dozen people crowded... more
