Maerim Elephant Sanctuary in Chiang Mai is an ethical elephant sanctuary 40 kilometers north of Chiang Mai. This cozy elephant sanctuary is an excellent choice for families with young children because of its location close to the city. Maerim Elephant Sanctuary has five elephants rescued from riding camps, circuses, and illegal logging work.
With the full-day trip, you will spend the day observing, feeding, bathing, playing, and walking in the jungle with the elephants. Our guides will explain where the elephants come from and how to care for these intelligent animals. You will learn how to make medicine and how to feed the elephants. We will take them on a short hike to the river to bathe and scrub them. Afterward, we will join the elephants in their daily mud bath. Don't worry; you will be able to freshen up after in our relaxing and clean swimming pool.
You will learn how to cook authentic Thai noodle soup for lunch.
Children 3 to 6 years of age pay only a 1000 Baht entrance fee. Children 1 to 2 years of age can join the trip for free.
