So happy we had noi today she was fantastic guide, we think we definitely got the best guide so ask for her if you can. Pricey but you won't regret choosing this place over another just go and you'll see why.

I had been planning to go on an elephant trek until a friend told me about the Elephant Nature Park. She explained that this is a place which cares for mistreated and sick elephants and nurses them back to health. I was not prepared for how amazing this experience would be - to see the level of care and love... More

Our day visiting the Elephant Nature Park was the best family outing ever! The entire experience from the morning pick up at our hotel, to the scenic ride to the lush jungle area outside Chiang Mai, to the wonderful experience of feeding and bathing the elephants, to the best lunch buffet table in a stunning setting. Pleasing 2 boys ages... More

Basically, just go! One of the best days so far in Asia, and once you read up about the harm caused to elephants on their website you will see that you don't want to put your time and money elsewhere. Can't remember her name but the woman who took us around made the day even better, so nice and great... More

I volunteered at the Elephant Nature Park just before Christmas 2012. I loved every minute of my wonderful, enlightening experience. What happens to elephants in Thailand is truly heartbreaking, yet for the few there are places like the ENP, which takes in damaged elephants and rehabilitates them. As a volunteer you get to care for the elephants - make their... More

This place does such good work, for the elephants and the dogs. I am not sure why there are even companies that still offer elephant trekking. This was the most amazing way to connect with real elephants living in peace.

As with all the other reviewers, this is an amazing experience that you won't be able to get at any other elephant park. The elephants are beautiful, the story of how the park started is amazing. Forget riding an elephant, feed an elephant! The day includes pick up from your hotel, comfortable translation, delicious food (all vegetarian like the elephants),... More

This was our second visit to ENP within a year. We knew roughly what to expect, especially having the same guide as last year, but were thinking it may not be as good second time round due to the novelty wearing off and it being 11 months since our last visit. Oh how wrong we were!! The drive up and... More

After researching several different elephant tours in Chiang Mai we decided to go with Elephant Nature Park.Although it is more expensive than other tours (2500 baht) we decided the most important thing to us was seeing these amazing elephants in an ethical way in an environment where they are well treated and had a good life and that's definitely what...

I sent a message to Adam which went answered. I wanted to find out what date he had booked so that I could follow up. This period is a busy time for us and we have not had any recent private trips or charged anyone for one so I think that he has booked elsewhere. We would never charge anyone... More
