We will briefly tell you interesting and fun facts about these majestic creatures.

Cook for elephants

Did you know that elephants prefer healthy food - the same as humans nowadays?

In our sanctuary, you'll have a unique chance to cook "vitamin balls" and feed the elephants from your hands.

You will also prepare sugar cane and give them - it's the same as a dessert for an elephant.

Bathe with elephants

In the sanctuary, we have a small river and ponds. Elephants really love bathing there!

After feeding the elephants you can take them on a walk to the water. After that, you can bathe together and help them maintain better skin.

The best videos are always taken while playing with elephants in the water!

I had a wonderful time at the Elephant Parks rescue. The volunteers were extremely nice and informative and it seemed like they really cared for the animals. The elephants were well taken care of and their well-being was the central consideration of the workers. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a humane way to meet elephants and learn about them.

This center actually rescues elephants. Watch out for places that just rent them and don’t actually rescue them.

This has been by far one of the best experiences I've had in my whole life.
I'm amazed about all the job they do with the elephants, so loving and caring very pacient with them.
RT is the greatest guide, so polite professional and friendly!
The whole staff were incredible very kind people and funny!
I didn't want to leave now I will hopefully volunteer next year.
I cried of happiness and words can't describe how I felt.
So yeah you should definitely come and see for your self.

Feeling so thankful and blessed
Also the food was yummy! Come come and help them keep on helping the elephants

Truly a highlight of my trip! After changing to camp clothes we helped chop sugar cane & salted sticky rice treats to feed the elephants. Each elephant had their own personality and looking through my pictures I found myself gravitating towards one! Not only was I able to feed them we also had the opportunity to go in the water with them! Looking forward to going back the next time I visit!

Highly recommend this elephant centre - its about 1hr outside of Chiang Mai town. We booked it with a tour which picked us up from our hotel and dropped us back at the end of the day. The staff were very lovely and helped to provide a great experience. They gave us clothes to change into because you get a bit muddy, and there were showers and soap provided as well to wash off afterwards. We chopped sugar cane, and then went to feed the elephants which were very friendly and well looked after. We ended by giving them a mud bath in the river and having lunch provided for us. I would highly recommend this experience to support rescued elephants, and more importantly - does not allow tourists to ride the elephants.
