Kerchor Elephant Eco Park – Ethical Elephant Sanctuary in Chiang Mai

Kerchor ECO Elephant Park and Elephant Sanctuary in Chiang Mai, employs a thoughtful approach to sustainable elephant-friendly tourism, operated by the local community of Karen people, who have a long tradition of elephant keeping and consider these gentle giants as their own family members.

Your visit starts at the Park and Observation Platform, where we will show you a presentation to prepare you for your encounter with the elephants. Next up, you will feed the elephants. While they enjoy their baskets of bananas, pineapples and cucumbers, we will truly is one of a kind. Once the elephants are fed we walk with them down into the jungle. The elephants have the freedom to express their natural behavior, from bathing and playing in our pond to socializing with each other. Our top priority is the well being of the elephants. As such, we do not offer rides, shows, but we bathing, feeding, do interactive able such as trunk hugging, elephant kisses, massage.
