The Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai was one of the pioneer centers in elephant conservation. Think of this place as a rest home for these gentle giants who, for years, have been exploited and mistreated in the deforestation and tourism industry.
The sanctuary is an example of responsible tourism, where you can get in touch with elephants, swim with them, understand more about their habits and how to protect them, especially by avoiding excursions on their backs.
