I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed this day out. We organised it through their website (you can google it). We were picked up from our hotel, went to collect food with our guide to feed the elephants with and then drove around and hour-ish to get to the elephant park. The road up is pretty bumpy and bendy... more

There is very little I can add to the other 5 star reviews - this is is a once in a lifetime experience for anyone truly interested in the conservation of these marvellous animals, and who is genuinely interested in experiencing interacting with them in a way that in not demeaning or exploitative. When reading the comments of those who... more

Visiting Elephant Nature Park was the most memorable thing my husband and I did in Thailand. What an experience to see these elephants, which have been so mistreated, enjoying their new peaceful lives and watching them interact with people that want to make a special connection with them. Their stories are heartbreaking. I have never had an experience like this.... more

This attraction has many good reviews but having spent 3 days at the park I feel many are completely overblown and just plain wrong. It is supposed to be a conservation project but it is nothing of the sort. More like a tourist attraction playing the ever popular green eco tourist card so popular in Thailand. I was totally disappointed.... more

There are many Elephant Parks and shows around Chiang Mai, but if you have a conscience about the treatment of elephants then this is the place to visit. Lek's park is off the beaten track and in a place where the animals are free to roam as they please in the mountains to the north of Chiang Mai. Here there... more

I went on the day trip here and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to get up close and experience elephants. I am conscientious of animal cruelty and exploitation, so I did my homework and found this spot to be the most highly rated. Please go to the Elephant Nature Park. Do not go on an elephant ride. Do... more

Went to the park with my boyfriend on 20th June 08 and loved it, we only did the one day trip as we didn't have much time or money. It is definitely worth the 2,500 Baht as it includes transport, lunch, English speaking guide and many activities. Your first stop is the market where you pick up fruit for the... more

I volunteered here in March 08 which was an experience well worth while, spending a week living & working with elephants is unforgettable. The park is such a great charity, elephants are badly treated in Thailand & all over the world but here they are treated with respect & love where they are. Living at the park for a week,... more

We went there at the end of April. Lek - you have done a fantastic job, need not say any more. If only there were more people like you in Thailand. The volunteers and staff at the park do a fantastic job too, special mention to Chai and Earn, who both did well to keep us entertained during the Q&A... more
