Chiang Mai 1 Day: Elephant Sanctuary, Waterfall & Bamboo Rafting

We pride ourselves on being a highly ethical elephant sanctuary. Our elephants have been rescued from unethical parks and attractions where they have been chained, caged and ridden. Here we provide our elephants with the love and care they need, maintaining and sustaining peaceful, respectful interactions between humans and animals. We allow our elephants to roam freely in our park and we stand firmly against the use of cages, chains and elephant riding. Our establishment is owned and managed by the Karen Hill Tribe and our Karen guides and Mahouts (Elephant keepers) provide insightful understandings into the park, the elephants and local history.
