Who We Are

Thailand is a truly magical place with so much to see and do, but to really appreciate it, you have to go outside the usual tourist areas and experience the real Thailand.

At Elephants@Home we invite you into our homeland and our village where we have lived for hundreds of years, alongside our elephants, in the mountains of Chiang Mai. We are proud of our heritage and would like to share with you what we are lucky enough to be able to enjoy as an everyday part of our life.

 

We truly respect and really love our elephants, they are our family. We are a sanctuary for these beautiful creatures and have rescued many elephants from a less fortunate life.

 

Elephants@Home

 

We would be delighted to welcome you in our village, to spend the day with us and our elephants to learn about and get to know them. Elephants@Home offers a truly ethical,  up-close elephant experience, where they are in their natural mountain habitat and have lived for hundreds of years, alongside a our Karen Hill Tribe.

 

There are no hooks, no chains, no circus tricks and no enclosures, the elephants are free to roam. You will spend the day caring for them, washing them and feeding them. You'll also learn how to communicate with the elephants and get to walk with them along the river, and then stop and rest a while to enjoy a delicious lunch before heading back to the village at the end of the day. There will of course be plenty of time to play with them throughout the day too! There are no rides at Elephants@Home, just an opportunity for a really intimate day, spent bonding and playing with these most beautiful, intelligent gentle giants.
