Elephant Pride Sanctuary

Amazing trip- so close to the elephants! This is a real elephant sanctuary run by a local family. The absolute highlight was washing the elephants in the river and feeding them. You can really see that the elephants are happy and taken care of. Beware of many fake elephant sanctuaries which exist only to make money off tourists and do not care about the animals - this is not such a place. If you want an ethical trip while supporting locals, go for Elephant Pride!

Such a lovely experience. Lovely people and lovely elephants. A beautiful place with Well cared and respected animals. I'm so happy we decided to spend the day in your sanctuary. Thank you coco loco, cherry loco and all the team. The food was delicious too ❣️ hope to see you soon!

Coming to Chiang Mai, my husband and I knew we wanted to play with some elephant but definitely did not want to support any kind of elephant harm for entertainment and we are so happy we found this place! It’s a well sized sanctuary tucked into the jungle so the elephant have plenty of room to roam and eat their leaves. The owner is well experienced with how to care for his little family and you can tell they have a bond. We had an amazing day filled with feeding, playing and bathing these beautiful creatures. It was one of the best days on our trip and recommend it for everyone!
