Elephant Retirement Park

Former working elephants are given a new home at Elephant Retirement Park, a small elephant sanctuary around and hour's drive outside of Chiang Mai. Just like Elephant Nature Park, there's no riding the elephants and 'taming' instruments like rods and bull hooks are never used. As such, visitors are here to care for the park's rescued residents. Duties include feeding, brushing, bathing and event making up herbal medicine. We recommend the private' Special Program, which comes with the opportunity to care fore the oh-so-cute new born calf.
