The elephant training center at Chiang Dao combines training and jungle activities, with a one-on-one elephant encounter you’ll never forget.
The Chiang Dao Elephant Camp's crew of 32 elephants help log the surrounding teak forests and provide elephant rides through their natural jungle habitat.
Watch morning training sessions as cute baby elephants learn how to walk in line, work and bathe. The center also organizes bamboo rafting rides down the Ping River and a visit to a hilltribe village.

Thought it was great. Just like you advertized. Riding the elephants was a once in a lifetime experience! This and the sleigh ride I took in Salzburg through Viator has hooked me on your firm for life

Doing what: Elephant Trek, Rafting and Hilltribe Village Tour from Chiang Mai
This is was the best excursion we did in Bangkok, Phuket or Chiang Mai. Our guide was Khun Roong who spoke great English, she was very knowledgeable and friendly. This is a must do if you go to Chiang Mai.
