Throughout Thailand, there are over 70 elephant sanctuaries, with the majority located in the northern part of the country. You will soon find that most guest house, travel agents, and Tuk-Tuk drivers seem to be peddling different elephant tour experiences.
The abundance of choices, however, does not necessarily guarantee a positive experience for visitors nor for the elephants. Below we provide some back-ground information for you to keep in mind when you are making your decision whether or not to see elephants, and which elephant camp is the best to visit.
One of the most respected elephant camps in North Chiang Mai, Ran-Tong Save & Rescue Elephant Centre is great for a full day or half day tour that’s both educational and fun, as you will get to experience elephants roaming freely and learn each of their rescue stories. There’re plenty of photo opportunities and chances to interact with the elephants, namely to feed and help scrub them during their daily bath.
If you end up loving it, they offer weekly and monthly elephant volunteering opportunities.
Located in Chiang Mai Thailand, Ran-Tong Save & Rescue Elephant Centre was founded in 2009 for the sole purpose of saving and rescuing Thai elephants and providing them with a happy humane life and safer future at its elephant sanctuary.
Rated the best ethical elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai Thailand for learning, bathing, feeding & playing with elephants.
