100% recommend - Everything excellent, from picking us up at the hotel and all the time to explain about Thailand. The animals are well cared for, good lunch, have drinks for sale, call for a shower. But the cherry of the cake, was the three-month elephant baby, the most beautiful thing. 100% recommended.🙂

Simple, Natural ,Lovely environment.Caring guide - I have been to 5 different sanctuaries over the last few years. This one is the simplest,natural ,and prettiest sanctuary. The guide has a definite commitment to the welfare of the animals, and that I admire .It was the first time I had seen a baby elephant and that was a huge bonus if you want a simple lovely environment this is the one.

A great experience!!! - This is highly recommended for anyone who is in Chiang Mai and wants to see elephants! We were picked up by Todd, this was our tour guide and stayed with us all day. On the way to the elephants he told us all about Chiang Mai. Once they arrived at the elephants, they could be seen living in a large area of jungle. They take great care of the elephants here and give one-on-one guidance to the elephants. We got the chance to feed the elephants and then wash them, they were hungry so this worked! At this elephant enclosure the elephant is treated very well and we are glad that we have chosen this one, it is really seen that these people have a lot of love for the elephants with how they treat the elephants and how they care for the elephants. Todd also told us a lot about what they do. After the elephants we went with Todd to the Sticky Waterfalls, where we were allowed to walk around for a while and walk up. After the nice day we were nicely cancelled at our hotel. We look back on a successful day, we would definitely do it again!

Top of the must-do list… - This was an incredible experience, truly a highlight of our trip to Thailand. We had the opportunity to feed the elephants, walk with them and even wash them in the water. It is a simply humbling experience to be so close to these magnificent animals. Our guide Ford and his colleagues at the sanctuary do really valuable work to conserve the elephants in their natural environment. We struggle to think how this could be improved really. Definitely recommend

Absolutely lovely - Todd and Ford were amazing tour guides. Todd drove from the city to the sanctuary while informing me on all of the amazing Chiang Mai local traditions, and he brought me some very delicious pad thai to eat along with some lovely fruit. Ford educated me on elephant care taking and took lots of great pictures for me. The sanctuary is cozy and beautiful. It was very apparent that the elephants are well taken care of. Thank you Todd and Ford!

A must do in Chang Mai!! - The elephants were a sight to see and really a highlight of our visit to Chang Mai. Our guide Tong was fun and engaging, He has great stories of the Thai and Myanmar people. He’s a natural tour guide, spoke excellent English. And makes a fantastic Pad Thai with fresh fruit for lunch. Our elephant guide Ford was pleasant and knowledgeable as well. The elephants in our humble opinion are very well cared for and would highly recommend this adventure. This is a dad and his 15 year old daughter travelling Thailand. We also recommend going to the Sticky Waterfalls in the afternoon. My daughter loved it. Keep taking care of the elephants Ford!! The support guides (did not get their names) are friendly and gentle with their elephants. They are good at what they do. We loved our experience with Chang Mai Elephant Care.

Amazing - Go go go!! It was absolutely incredible. We booked through our hostel and also went to a temple and sticky waterfalls during this tour. The elephants were definitely the highlight of the whole trip! You really noticed how they cared about them and took good care of them.
