Hello! We just attended the half day tour at this sanctuary today, I can confirm that little Meena is safe and sound here! She actually has such a strong bond with Omo, our guide. She followed her around everywhere! Meena would hold Omo’s hand, protect her when she sat down, hugged and kissed her with her trunk it was incredibly sweet to see. But yes she is here.

We went for the full day and I have to say it was a great decision; hence, I believe half a day is too less. As already mentioned you kinda drive an hour each way and with half a day you hardly spend enough time in the sanctuary and experience how the elephants are living and taken care for. For the full day, in the morning we got some interesting information about their elephants first, then changed and cut sugar canes which we fed to the elephants and tried covering them in mud for cooling down. After lunch we went for a little hike to the river swimming and came back to Chiang Mai in the evening. To be honest, if I had missed either the morning or afternoon part it had been super disappointing because each of the activities is kinda special and provides interesting insights in the elephant's daily life.

Il existe des casiers non sécurisés nous y avons laissé nos sacs à dos sans problème. Mais pas de sécurité particulière ou demander au chauffeur de mini bus.

What do you mean?

We booked our trip through our hotel - the day beforehand. If you don’t get a response to your email I would suggest asking your hotel to confirm the reservation.

Non ils parlent Thaï et anglais

We booked the night before and it worked out.

I think around 1:30-2:30. Depends on how many customers on the bus. Because the driver has to drop everyone off their hotel.

Bonjour, nous avons réservé un peu avant mais c était pour mars. Si vous y allez en haute saison peut être qu il faut s y prendre à l avance.
