ELEPHANT SANCTUARY > MAEKLANG ELEPHANT CONSERVATION COMMUNITY - TWO DAYS PROGRAM
Maeklang Elephant Conservation Community - Two days
Did you ever dream about a place where humans and animals could live in harmony? At Maeklang Elephant Conservation Community, we have created this special place for our elephants to retrieve their natural habitat and for you to meet them sustainably.
Hidden in the jungles of Doi Inthanon National Park, we have created an eco-friendly elephant sanctuary for our dear friends. Without any rush, you will have time to feed them with organic food, take them for a mud bath, splash them in the river, and of course, relax and observe their behavior. After these two days, you will know everything about the circumstances that brought them to this sanctuary and how our excellent team cares about these gentle giants.
During the daytime, we will visit the Maeklang Elephant Sanctuary to learn about the four elephants living here. You will get the chance to feed them, bathe them, and observe them living in the beautiful surroundings of our sanctuary and you will meet a baby elephant, Messi, here, born in May 2020.
We will spend the night at the sanctuary and sleep in a traditional Thai bungalow right by the river. In the evening we will enjoy a typical Thai barbecue called “Moo Kata” and make a campfire under the stars. The elephants will stay close to your bungalow and wake you up in the morning for breakfast. A fantastic experience!
Do yourself and our elephants a favor, and do not leave Chiang Mai without a visit to the Maeklang Elephant Conservation Community!
Children 3 - 8 years of age can join the trip for 2500 Baht per person. Children 1 - 2 years of age can join the trip for free.
