We didn't want to ride an elephant but that was all we could see advertised. Walked into the office in Chaing Mai and the staff told us there is no riding elephants here but you do interact with them (this is while 2 rescue cats were climbing on us). Had no idea what to expect but I can tell you... More

The care for these animals are incredible, they would rather feed and care for the elephants then themselves.

Spent two weeks here last year, volunteering at the park. You need to come here to understand how elephants truly are treated and what damage can be wrecked on them by humans. This place aims to repair the damage whether it is from trekking, logging, begging or other maltreatment. The park aims to educate and in doing so is given... More

The whole idea is a good concept, however if you have young children, the day can seem to drag a little. It is well worth going to see the elephants roam and we got to see an elephant a day old. We also saw 2 elephants do a bit of a stampede towards this baby (which was locked away for... More

The Elephant Nature Park is different, you get to enjoy the elephants without them being poked and prodded.... More

First of all you need to understand what this place is about. It's a conservative park to rescue and treat elephants. You'll be able to touch an elephant, give him some fruits and throw some water on him (you'll use a can for that). Basically that's all your're gonna do. Although this is a full-day experience, you'll spend no more... More

The most amazing experience. The animals are quite clearly not being exploited and are so happy. I will return again.

It was absolutely AMAZING to be around such gorgeous animals, walking freely and happily through the valley in the Mountains of Chiang Mai. What Lek does here is amazing, and it is worth every penny to support the Nature Park. Unlike all of the other elephant activities in Chiang Mai, here you actually LEARN about the animals rather than just... More
