Amazing full day with elephants! It was an amazing day. We did the full day tour and spent lots of time feeding and walking with the elephants. Pat and the handlers were fantastic and we had some fun conversation. You can tell they really care for the elephants. Lunch was provided and tasted very good and the waterfall was great to see. Highlight was definitely the baby elephant who loves the attention.

Muy buena experiencia. Dentro de que es una comercialización, tienen a los elefantes muy bien cuidados y no les obligan a nada. Guían el camino para llevarlos hasta el río con comida, nunca tirando de ellos. Los elefantes van dónde quieren. Ha sido muy bonito! Es cierto que el respeto va con las personas y que todos tenemos que colaborar para no agobiar a los elefantes y darles su espacio. Te dan comida antes de salir, agua y café, te dejan una camiseta para que te cambies y no ensucies tu ropa. Se puede aparcar allí el coche o moto. Hay servicios y también duchas. Después preparas la comida para los elefantes y os vais a dar un paseo con ellos (tú das el paseo con ellos, no ellos contigo). Después de jugar con ellos en el río te llevan a una cascada dónde te puedes bañar si quieres y después te devuelven al punto de salida para darles de comer a los elefantes. Te vuelven a ofrecer café, unas pastitas y agua (que te la ofrecen todo el día). Fue realmente agradable vivir esta experiencia con ellos.

Muchísimas gracias, Fatima, por tu maravillosa y detallada reseña de 5 estrellas. Estamos realmente agradecidos por tus palabras y por reconocer el cuidado, la libertad y el respeto que damos a nuestros elefantes. Nos alegra mucho que hayas observado lo suave que es nuestra guía — nunca forzamos ni tiramos de ellos, siempre permitimos que se muevan de manera natural y a su propio ritmo.

También agradecemos tu recordatorio de que el respeto hacia los elefantes es una responsabilidad compartida. Cuando los visitantes les dan espacio y permiten que ellos decidan cómo interactuar, la experiencia se vuelve aún más especial.

Gracias por mencionar los pequeños detalles — los snacks, las bebidas, la camiseta, las instalaciones y la comodidad general. Nos alegra que tu visita haya sido agradable de principio a fin.

Fue un placer compartir esta experiencia contigo, y esperamos volver a darte la bienvenida muy pronto en nuestro elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai.

Thank you so much, Fatima, for your wonderful and detailed 5-star review. We’re truly grateful for your kind words and for recognizing the care, freedom, and respect we give our elephants. It means a lot that you noticed how gently we guide them — never forcing, never pulling — always allowing them to move naturally and comfortably at their own pace.

We also appreciate your reminder that respecting the elephants is a shared responsibility. When guests give them space and allow them to choose how to interact, the experience becomes even more meaningful.

Thank you as well for mentioning the little details — the snacks, drinks, shirts, facilities, and overall comfort. We’re delighted that your visit felt pleasant from beginning to end.

It was a joy to share this experience with you, and we hope to welcome you back again soon to our elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai.

A once in a lifetime opportunity - DO IT! We had such an amazing time on this tour. Everything was provided. We spent the entire day at the location, hanging out with the elephants, making their food, and their snacks, feeding them, taking a walk, going for a swim. This was an amazing experience from the time we stepped off the bus, to the time we said goodbye to the sassy elephants. Our tour host was fantastic, keeping us posted on what was coming up, the best way to interact with the elephants, etc. It was a great day. Cannot recommend more.

The highlight of my stay The place itself is amazing - you are surrounded by nature, also the drive to the place is really beautiful. At first you are given instructions by Pat (the guide), then you prepare a snack for the elephants and you go to feed them. Afterwards you continue for a little hike to watch them enjoy complete freedom. After lunch you go for a long hike by the river to see the elephants walk and enjoy the water, then visit at the waterfall and last snack for the elephants. The whole staff is friendly and funny, the elephants are amazingly well taken care of. It was the highlight of my stay in the north of Thailand ☺️

🌿 Review: The Elephant Project, Chiang Mai Visiting the Elephant Project in Chiang Mai was truly a dream come true. Our guide, Pat, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making the day both informative and unforgettable. The elephants themselves were simply perfect—gentle, majestic, and clearly well cared for. These are rescued elephants, and the project emphasizes ethical interaction: you’re asked not to pat them, but instead to let them approach you naturally. This respectful approach made the experience even more magical. There were no chains, no rides—just pure nature. Bathing alongside these amazing animals was breathtaking and deeply moving. It’s rare to find such an ethical sanctuary, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. On our journey, we did see places where elephants were still being ridden. It was a stark reminder to be careful where you book. If you ever find yourself in such a situation, I encourage you to lead by example—showing others how to humbly and respectfully treat these incredible creatures. Small actions like this can help change the way things are done in the future. ✨ Thank you to the Elephant Project team for an amazing, unforgettable day.

Sehr gutes Zentrum Bei dem den wundervollen Tieren mit Respekt begegnet wird - wir sind ohne organisierte Gruppe selber angereist und haben uns einer Gruppe in der Mittagszeit anschließen können. Viel Erklärungen und genug Zeit mit den Elefanten. Dazu noch ein Kochkurs für Elefantensnacks die wir noch verfüttert haben.

A wonderful day filled with cute, well-cared for elephants! A lovely experience with a very wholesome group of elephants. They are well cared for and very content to be around people. They are allowed to wander off and be alone if they want to, but they genuinely seemed to enjoy hanging out with us, so it didn't feel forced at all. Best part of our trip!
