About Elephant Tour Chiang Mai

Why this guide exists

Elephant Tour Chiang Mai is an independent guide for anyone planning to spend time with elephants on a trip to Chiang Mai. It sets out the kinds of tour on offer, from a feeding morning in Mae Wang to a care program, a night at a camp or a day that ends in a Thai kitchen; it explains what World Animal Protection says about riding, how to plan the day with children, what the listings cost and how far the camps are from the city. The site is written first in English and then translated.

How we research

Every figure on our pages is tied to a source linked at the foot of the page: the listings themselves for durations, inclusions and starting prices, World Animal Protection's 2026 report and visitor guides for welfare questions, the Tourism Authority of Thailand for the state of the industry and its plans, and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for health advice. The month-by-month climate is the World Meteorological Organization's 1991 to 2020 normals for the Chiang Mai station; day length is our own calculation.

How we make money

Elephant Tour Chiang Mai is funded through the GetYourGuide affiliate program. When you book through one of our links, we receive a commission; your price remains the same. There are no advertising banners here, and we do not sell your data.
