Chiang Mai Living Green Elephant Experience | Thailand
2026/09/17
My spouse and I visited. We were very satisfied with the ample time we had to interact with the elephants. Although we didn't ride them, the facility was very kind to the elephants and I think it's a great place. I highly recommend it. We booked a one-day course through kkday where we made elephant vitamin balls for the elephants.
