1. Chiang Mai: Elephant Sanctuary Interactive Tour
Discover the magic of elephants on this guided visit to the Chiang Mai Elephant Wildlife Sanctuary. Experience the elephant's daily routine by feeding and bathing them and immerse yourself in their joyful play. Start your day with a pickup from your accommodation in an open-air pickup truck. Go on a scenic drive through beautiful scenery to reach the Elephant Sanctuary, where you will meet your English-speaking guide. As you arrive at the sanctuary, learn some fascinating facts about the elephants from your guide. Then, head into the sanctuary, gather some bananas and cane sugar, and stroll through the park. Marvel at the majestic elephants roaming through the park in a safe, sustainable, and ethical environment. Your guide will tell you about each elephant's story as you touch, feed, photograph, and interact with the elephants at your leisure. After you've met all the elephants, accompany them to a nearby mud spa. Get muddy with the elephants as you apply a restorative cosmetic mud treatment to their skin. Next, stroll with the elephants to a nearby river and join them in the water for a refreshing bath. Take a swim and help bathe and brush the elephants while they wade through and play in the water. Once the elephants are clean, you can take some final photos with them, and then it will be time to part ways with your new friend and change into some dry clothes. Finally, enjoy some snacks and seasonal fresh fruits before heading back to your hotel.
