Pressed for time but still want to connect with elephants? The Feed Me experience is just what you need! Spend a couple of hours feeding these gentle giants from a specially-built platform while learning about their behaviors up close. Plus, you’ll get to flex your eco-creativity by turning elephant poop into paper in a fun sustainability class. Perfect for a quick yet meaningful introduction to elephant care! Want more? Upgrade to get access to Elephant Rain Shower to have fun with your new friends.
Start by getting into traditional Karen clothing, then meet and greet the elephants with their favorite snacks—bananas and sugarcane. After feeding, it’s time to get muddy! Join them for a spa treatment, covering the elephants in a healthy layer of mud while they happily frolic. Next up? A splashy trip to the river for a fun bathing session. Scrub, swim, and bond with these gentle giants as they play in the water. Wrap up the day with snacks, fresh fruits, and some final photos before heading back to Chiang Mai.
If you prefer observing elephants in their natural element, the 'Watch Me' experience is your go-to! Slip into traditional Karen attire and follow the elephants as they stroll, forage, and bathe in the jungle. It’s a photographer’s dream as you capture their everyday routines from a respectful distance. You’ll also get the chance to feed them, but the real magic lies in simply watching them be themselves. Learn about their behavior, the dynamics of the herd, and help prepare their meals.
Ready for the full elephant experience? After a scenic ride through Chiang Mai’s stunning countryside, you’ll arrive at the sanctuary, greeted by your English-speaking guide. Start with feeding and learning about each elephant’s unique story. Then, after lunch, it’s time to dive into a full day of elephant fun. Walk alongside them as they wander through the jungle, then give them a mud bath in their spa! The fun continues with a refreshing river bath, where you’ll scrub, splash, and play with these gentle creatures. End the day with some final photos and farewells, leaving with unforgettable memories of your time with these incredible animals.
