Chiang Mai Elephant Sanctuary & Long Neck Village & Sticky Waterfall Day Tour - Elephant Bathing

From an elephant sanctuary to Bua Thong Waterfall
enjoy the best of Chiang Mai in one day

This day tour of about 9 hours departs from Chiang Mai and visits an elephant sanctuary, a Long Neck village and Bua Thong Sticky Waterfall. Depending on your option, meet at the meeting point in central Chiang Mai or get picked up from your hotel, accompanied by an English-speaking guide. Admission fees, a Thai lunch, snacks, fruit and water are included.

Be an elephant caretaker for half a day

When you arrive at the sanctuary, change into a traditional mahout outfit and learn about the history of Asian elephants. Make healthy herbal snacks to feed the elephants, then take a peaceful walk with them along lush forest trails.

Bathe the elephants in the river

At the end of your time at the sanctuary, step into the river and bathe the elephants yourself. You may get wet, so it is a good idea to bring shorts or swimwear.

Visit a Long Neck village and Bua Thong Sticky Waterfall

After the sanctuary, visit a Long Neck village and enjoy a Thai lunch of local dishes and fresh tropical fruit.

Then head to Bua Thong Sticky Waterfall to climb the mineral-rich limestone falls barefoot and cool off in the clear water. The tour ends back in Chiang Mai.

※ The water level and color of the waterfall may vary depending on the season and weather.
