Elephant Discovery Chiang Mai | Thailand

Tour guide gave us a thorough walkthrough of elephant's lifestyle & care needs and was very attentive to both ours and the elephants' needs! A great experience and fun water time with these giants!

We are very happy to have chosen this half day tour to Elephant Discovery. It was a beautiful and exciting experience. Unlike the other trips offered online, here they organize small groups of people twice a day. We were only 7 people! The driver arrived at our hotel on time and after about 1 hour of travel in the back of his pickup we arrived at the Elephant Discovery. Here we were welcomed by the guys from the Elephant Recovery Centre. They told us all about the 4 elephants that live in the center. The work of these guys is admirable. They conveyed to us all their love for these very affectionate animals.

Worth the experience.

Great experience to be that close to those beautiful creatures, well organized and nice lunch.Definitely one off the to do trips during a stay in Chiang Mai

The activity was perfect, but the mini van arrived more than 1h late…

The guides were very kind and friendly. I could see that they really care for the elephants. They explained the history and ecology of elephants with all their might. They spoke only English. I think even people who speak a little English can communicate. They picked me up at the hotel in the old town, and it was about an hour's drive from there. There are toilets and showers, so if you get dirty, you don't have to worry as long as you bring a change of clothes. After giving the elephants corn stalks, we made supplements for them and bathed together in a nearby river. After that, we had steamed rice and fruit wrapped in banana skins for lunch. The elephants were so cute and soothing ☺️ The guides took lots of great photos when I gave them my smartphone! They didn't ask for any tips. It was a great experience. I wholeheartedly recommend it! After the tour, I left my smartphone in the shuttle car, but when I contacted them, they returned it to me without a word of complaint! Recommended things to bring: a towel, shorts (you'll be going into the river so it's a good idea to bring very short pants), a change of clothes (if you don't mind getting wet it's a good idea to bring underwear as well), sandals (the campsite isn't very large and you won't be walking much so sandals that you don't mind getting wet are best. I wore sneakers but sandals seemed fine.) Items provided at the camp: toilets, showers, insect repellent (elephant-safe), bottled water, vest, lunch

We had a wonderful day with the elephants! Feeding, walking, bathing….what an experience!! The farm is well-organised and the elephants look very happy! The guide told us they insisted a small group because too many tourists will stress the elephants and make them sick. So the well-being of elephants is more important than money, I feel they really love and care the elephants. That is also why I chose them. I feel so happy and my boyfriend even said it is the best day of his life😂

This is a rescue park that cooperates with the foundation. The person in charge of the park really loves elephants. They take good care of each elephant. They feed them every day and see doctors and have physical examinations regularly. They also take us seriously to learn about the elephants and ask questions. All the questions were answered very carefully. We made nutritional supplements to feed the elephants together, and also took everyone to the river to play with the elephants. It was very fun! ! ! ! They are all picked up in small groups (2 to 6 people), which is of high quality. Our group of 4 people in the morning and the group of 6 people in the afternoon will not ride elephants or force them to do things or carry things. Highly recommended.

The elephant park is not big, but you can see that the elephants are well taken care of. The staff is very attentive in guiding everyone to understand the elephants. Feeding and walking are very healing itineraries. Small groups will not make the elephants too anxious, and the park considers the feelings of the animals.

This is a park with four elephants: Aunt Elephant, Aunt Elephant, Mother Elephant and Forrest Gump. The park will not receive more than 8 people at a time. I think this scale is more friendly to the elephants. I think participating in this event is quite meaningful.
