Chiang Mai Elephant Jungle Sanctuary - Elephant Feeding & Bathing (Half Day / Full Day)

Elephant Jungle Sanctuary is a project that runs ethical elephant sanctuaries in Thailand. On arrival, the guides give a short overview of the tour and the elephants, and hand out traditional Karen clothes to wear during the visit. You feed, bathe and play with the elephants and learn why it is important to protect them. Money from visits and donations goes to rescuing the elephants, feeding them, veterinary care, and land and infrastructure for them to live on.
