Happy Elephant Home - Full day
Happy Elephant Home has been designed to give you an incredible elephant experience without riding, hurting, or exploiting these beautiful animals. Come and experience a fantastic day, helping us take care of these gentle giants. Spend the day feeding, bathing, and learning fascinating facts about Asian elephants in their natural environment.
Happy Elephant Home is a small sanctuary with six elephants rescued from places where they had to work hard, without much time to eat, drink, and socialize with other elephants. At our sanctuary, they can roam free, bathe in the river, take a mud bath, and eat whenever and as much as they want.
The full-day experience includes a walk with the elephants to the river, mud-bath, helping to cut sugarcane or corn for the elephant food, making herbal medicine balls for the elephants, and bathing with them. We will spend most of the time feeding the elephants because they love to eat!
Children 4 to 7 years of age pay only 1200 Baht entrance. Children 1 to 3 years of age can join the trip for free.
“We had a great day with the elephants and Omo. Elephants were so happy. We cut them some snacks, met them, gave them the snacks and went bathing with them in the river. Would highly recommend this trips if you are in Chiang Mai. Best day so far!”
