Experience the magic of wonderful and historic Chiang Mai in the scenic mountains of Northern Thailand and volunteer at a sanctuary that provides a safe haven for old, sick, disabled, abused or illegally-owned elephants.

This sanctuary offers an immersive and ethical encounter, ensuring the well-being of the family of elephants who are happy and healthy living here in their natural jungle habitat.  Join this extraordinary adventure and create unforgettable memories with these incredible animals.

You’ll be hands-on with the day to day care of the elephants. You will assist with providing food and water, mucking out and helping to bathe them – great fun !  You’ll learn to plant and harvest the crops needed to sustain the elephants’ vast appetite. You’ll also learn to safely ‘walk’ your elephant for daily exercise.
