Tips from the community
When in Thailand, you have to pet some elephants, of course. But this is one to be cautious about; many operations treat the animals poorly and anytime they’re offering you to ride the animals, stay away. Instead, head directly for Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai for the best elephant experience. This park is a sanctuary and elephant rescue center that treats the animals exactly as they should be treated. Here, you can bathe and feed the elephants or even head out on a jungle walk side by side with your new, insanely huge friend.

Perhaps one of the most magical places in existence, Elephant Nature Park is an insanely beautiful rescue center and sanctuary for elephants that have been saved from the logging and entertainment industries. As a volunteer, you’ll prepare food and supplements, feed and bathe the elephants, learn about elephant conservation, enjoy delicious local food, and possibly even partake in a traditional Thai ceremony. The center also rescues dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals that you can interact with while on the property.
