I was looking for a truly ethical elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai, which was harder than I expected. However, this place seemed to genuinely respect the elephants. They strictly follow no riding and no hook policies, and they don’t force the elephants to be washed or engage in unnatural activities. It was a lovely experience overall. While it takes some time to get there from Chiang Mai, I personally felt it was worth the trip.

The costumes are beautiful! The staff were very helpful even though they have limited English. We were supposed to rent at 3pm but we were 2 hours early and they let us! So thank you helpful staff. We only choose the costumes and accessories. We saw some people had photographer package but we chose not to (good for couples though). We were given 4 hours to rent but ended up just 2 hours lol since it was so hot outside walking around the blocks but at least we get to wear the pretty Thai traditional 3 pieced costumes. Loved the experience. Recommended!!

It was a full-day tour to enjoy the elephant sanctuary. We were able to experience feeding the elephants in various locations, such as a square, in the mountains, and by the river. When you first arrive, many participants rush to feed the elephants, but there is no need to rush. There is plenty of time, so you can enjoy yourself at your own pace. In addition to the full-day tour I took, there were also half-day tours. Depending on the amount of time you spend in Chiang Mai, you can still enjoy a short tour.

This is one of the tours I enjoyed the most when I was in ChiangMai! I was picked up by my ladyboy tour guide in a RodDaeng and we went to get Khaosoi for dinner. I had free time to roam around Anusarn Night Market and Night Bazaar before the Drag show started at 09:30pm at 6ixCent. The Queens are AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, AND OH-SO-TALENTED! My food and first drink at the bar are covered, and even some cash to top the ladies! Kudos to Discova and hopefully more people will avail this tour as it is SO WORTH IT!!! See you again next time ❤️

It is always a pleasant experience being with the elephants, no matter where they are in the world, lol! This sanctuary is a lot smaller than the more popular ones, but this is 100% ethical as you are not allowed to touch the elephants. You can only feed them and watch them and take care of them from a distance. No riding or even bathing is allowed. This is a family-run sanctuary and they are hoping to buy more land so they can take care of more elephants.
