A must to in Chiang Mai

Ryan_H, Jun 2026

One of the best experiences we’ve had as a family. Tuki our guide runs a family farm. It’s very humane how the elephants are treated. They are well kept and well cared for. You’ll learn about them and spend time feeding them. There’s limited touch since it is more of a sanctuary. After feeding them, you’ll take the elephants for a walk. Next, you’ll get to bathe the elephant in the river. Nothing could be more amazing than this part. Last, you head down the River with a guide in your raft. It was so much fun and not too bad the level of the rapids. Once you end up at your destination, you’ll shower and eat one of the best pad thais with veggies and fruit. It was magical from start to finish. Best memories made.

Wonderful and Ethical Elephant Care Experience

This was an amazing experience! Pickup from our hotel 5 minutes after 8, and made one stop on our way to Eco Adventure camp. It was about 1.5 hours to get there. Once we arrived we changed into the elephant garb. And we fed the elephants. We alap made elephant sushi and helped to bathe the elephants. There were three elephants and our group was very small (us and 3 other people). Everyone was extremely friendly. Our guide was so helpful and gave us clear instructions throughout. From when to use our bug spray and safety instructions to where to get the best pictures, he was so helpful. The rafting was also really fun. We went through three major rapids and a few smaller ones, and some calm area too. That was about 45 min.
