]]> Chiang Mai is Thailand’s largest city, best known for its ancient temples and rich culture, but animal lovers will feel right at home during their visit. Many elephant sanctuaries are located in and around this city, and here are three that you should consider checking out during your visit.

Elephant Nature Park

Elephant Nature Park opened its doors in the 90s and it’s highly regarded as one of the most ethical elephant sanctuaries in Thailand. It offers sanctuary for rescued elephants, in addition to rafting and jungle tours, and ticket sales go towards animal care, ranging from providing homes for endangered animals to committing to rainforest restoration.

Elephant Freedom Village

Elephant Freedom Village is another ethical sanctuary where no elephant rides are included. All hands-on experiences offered at this sanctuary, such as elephant bathing, are focused on animal care and not human entertainment, and its main mission is to educate visitors about elephants and local culture.

Elephant Jungle Sanctuary

Elephant Jungle Sanctuary locations are scattered all around Thailand, and this one in Chiang Mai is one of the very best. Morning and afternoon visits are available and so are overnight stays, that you can pair with jungle walks and elephant bathing experience.

]]> Elephants are gentle animals that should never be ridden or used for work like logging. Instead, they should be allowed to roam in their natural habitat, and when that is not an option, they should be cared for in special elephant sanctuaries.

In Chiang Mai, Thailand there is an elephant sanctuary that has dedicated itself to rehabilitating elephants who have been forced to work. If you have been searching for a day trip or a holiday in which you can learn about and care for these gentle giants, then head over to the Elephant Nature Park.

There’s a variety of packages to choose from. If you only have a day to spend, then choose the day package. It includes time spent feeding the elephants from the viewing platform, a lunch, bathing the elephants in the river, and simply learning about their stories from the mahouts. 

If you have a bit more time, you can stay at the Park, and volunteer your time with the elephants and the animal rehabilitation center. The Park also has a dedicated area for dogs, cats, and other animals that require care before they can be rehomed. 

Visits range from $80 for a single day, to $400 for a week.

With over 32 million tourists making their way to Thailand in 2017, the country surely has an attraction for everyone. From calm northern cities to a thriving capital and pure, clean islands everywhere, the country is eager to please all visitors. See what the hype is about with these 5 must-do’s when visiting Thailand.
Full Moon Party
Backpackers and partiers go down to the Full Moon Party in Thailand each month to see for themselves what all the hype is about. The festivity goes down on the island of Koh Phangan. The party is known for the large crowds of neon-painted and tourists with nothing but tiny bikinis who frequent them, with vibrant buckets of booze in tow to get the party started. Live DJ’s and fire shows are definitely guaranteed, and make sure to party until the early morning.
New Lumpinee Boxing Stadium
As the national sport of Thailand, visitors have to experience at least one Muay Thai fight before going back home. Arguably the best place to do this is at New Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok. The stadium is an updated version of the Lumpini Boxing Stadium, which was originally built in 1956. Fights are held three times a week, so hopefully visitors to the capital can find time to witness in a match or two.
Floating Markets
Before Bangkok was built with roadways, the many waterways acted as the main form of transportation. Many of these waterways have since been filled in to make way for the Bangkok’s urban décor, but venture outside the city center and visitors will find many of these floating markets still exist. Floating markets provide visitors to Thailand with a unique shopping experience. Colorful boats are filled with even more vibrant goods, equipped with everything from souvenirs to tasty traditional Thai food.
Elephant Sanctuary
The bucket list of every traveler to Thailand usually includes some sort of animal sanctuary. Elephant sanctuaries are found across the country, but visitors should be aware of which ones they choose to go to. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai is a picturesque animal sanctuary nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains. The sanctuary has rescued dozen of elephants since it opened in the 1990s.
Maya Bay
We don’t know what’s more beautiful: Leonardo DiCaprio or Maya Bay, the secluded beach on the Phi Phi island that the actor made famous. In his movie, The Beach, DiCaprio escapes to Thailand hoping to find adventure. When the movie was released in 2000, tourists’ curiosities were peaked: what is this bay that looks almost too pristine to be real? Since then, visitors flock to this stretch of white sand via boat to explore as DiCaprio did.
