Description
This one-of-a-kind 'Feed and Shower' experience allows visitors an opportunity to interact closely with rescued elephants in an ethical manner at Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Chiang Mai.
Observe the elephants we care for, feed them fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables, and join them as they cool down in a custom-built outdoor elephant shower designed to simulate rain.
Witness the majestic beauty and remarkable behaviours of elephants firsthand as you feed them from a specially-built viewing platform, then observe them as they bathe and roam freely in their scenic home. Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Chiang Mai's experience is perfect for anyone with a busy schedule who wishes to spend time with elephants ethically, or for those wanting a brief introduction to our project.
Visitors participating in the 'Feed & Shower' experience will also have the chance to learn how to recycle elephant excrement into paper in our special Elephant Poop Paper class, as part of Elephant Jungle Sanctuary's sustainability initiative.
