Hug Elephant Sanctuary (Office)

What travelers say:

One of the must-do activities for Chiang Mai trips: go to the elephant protection park. Most elephant parks are to protect elephants from harm and abuse. Tourists can feed elephant food in person, brush their backs and wash them white. Quite happy and have fun with elephants. We chose several elephant paradise comparisons, in fact, they are almost the same, regardless of the price, activity content and transportation arrangements. The reason for the last choice is that they have attractions to go to the waterfall and arrange special photos. We chose the group that departed at 6:30 a.m., probably too early and Thursday, so only the two of us packed the group. Take the local travel truck, no air conditioning, have to sit for 1.5 hours, pick up the tour guide from a long way, after arriving at the destination, the staff brought 3 elephants, gave us a few bananas to feed the elephant, and then the staff took the elephant to the mud, let us use the soil to help the elephant cool down, quite cute, One of the elephants was still pooping in the mud pool. Behind the brush, he helped the elephant to take a bath and brush his back. One of the elephants also made a laugh to express his happy mood. Finally, the elephant returned to camp, we continued to go to the waterfall, walked for 10 minutes on the mountain road, and we arrived. The water flow was very fast, we didn't dare to swim in the middle, only taking pictures next to it, which was quite good. Back to the camp, after taking a bath and changing clothes, they had prepared lunch, Thai noodles, fruit and coffee, which was very good. This journey is very pleasant and happy! Please note when choosing Elephant Park: 1. Are the tour buses Van or trucks (if there are more than 6 people, they should arrange travel air conditioning Van). 2. Are there any special photographers (they are professionally better than we are), and you can take all the photos with a tip. If you like waterfalls, you can choose these extra activities.
