Elephant Nature Park is one of the best-known elephant
conservation projects in Thailand. Set on the edge of a rain-
forest near Chiang Mai, in Thailand’s north, the sanctuary was
founded by award-winning conservationist Lek Chailert in
1995. More than 75 elephants roam free here and each has a
heart-breaking story: many have been saved from torturous
camps that exploit elephants for tourism or logging purposes
or other abusive situations.
The refuge is also home to a ragtag menagerie of adopted
cats, dogs, horses, warthogs, water buff alo and other animals.
There are a few diff erent ways to visit Elephant Nature Park,
with both single day or overnight stays available. Volunteers
help prepare fruit and vegetables for the elephants and food
for the other animals, or you can stay overnight to spend
more time with these gorgeous creatures.also available here
and must be booked well in advance.
