Great Place

This place was okay. We came with a tour to volunteer with the elephants. This was one of many elephant tours I did. It was just an okay one. If this had been the only one I did, I would have been disappointed. The mahouts...More

Fantastic experience

Of course this is made for tourists, but they finance a living for the elephants and the mahut. And believe me, the elephants are having fun! To spend a day with these gorgeous animals was just magnificent!

My dream come true

For years I’ve wanted to get up close with my favourite animals and researched a lot about which place to do this where they treat the animals with respect and care. As soon as we arrived at this sanctuary that is what we saw. There...More

Cared for elephants

Great experience from Chiang Mai. A bit of a drive but it is pretty anyway. You get to feed, wash and mud throw the elephants. The employees really care for the elephants and treat them well. I saw many examples of the kindness towards them...More

Half day with elephants!

We had an incredible day here with the elephants. The guys at the camp are fantastic. Lots of time with the elephants, feeding them, mud bath and then down to the river for a huge water fight. Lots of fun, great lunch. Would definitely recommend!

Review of: Half-Day Morning Visit to Elephant Jungle Sanctuary in Chiang Mai

It was really neat to see the elephants and interact with them, and it did seem like they were well treated. I was expecting more information about the elephants, elephant behavior, etc. and there wasn't any other than their names and ages. The drive to...More

Loved our morning here

We did a lot of research before booking with elephant jungle sanctuary and are pleased to say that nothing we saw suggested the elephants were unhappy or mistreated in any way. Ya Ya (sp?) our guide was very knowledgable and we enjoyed her dry sense...More

Not the sanctuary I was expecting

I agree with the reviews that say they felt conflicted during this experience. Maybe I was expecting too much, but I didn’t feel like I learnt anything about elephants or that the elephants were enjoying the interaction. It just seemed like an endless stream of...More

Do the half day tours include going into the water with the elephants?

January 18, 2019|

Answer

Yes they do. If you book a morning tour then you get to mud bathe with the elephants and then wash them off in the river.

Hello everyone!!! I will be going to Chang Mai in the middle of May for a total of five days. I will definitely be going to check out the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary. Before I book, can anyone who has been there please give me input on whether I should go for a FULL DAY or an OVERNIGHT. If anyone who did a full day left wishing they booked an overnight, please let me know. If anyone who booked an overnight wished that they booked a full day, please let me know. I hate the feeling of fomo and the feeling that I should have gone gone all the way. Any input is much appreciated. Thanks my fellow TripAdvisors!!! Safe Travels

Hey! So we did full day and wished we stayed overnight... HOWEVER, if you're staying overnight through them, beware that it certainly isn't the greatest place to stay. We saw a couple get dropped off at the overnight... More

What is the price and are they open for January 11-15?

Apologies, the cost per person I quoted earlier was for our cooking class! For our Elephant Jungle Sanctuary, the cost was US$ 53 or THB 1,700 per person. There may be cheaper tours, but we definitely enjoyed this one.
