is situated in the beautiful maetaman valley, about 50 kilometers north of Chiangmai and is home to over 40 elephants. Witness the splendor of these majestic animals as the herd wallows and frolics in the brown waters of the Maetang River and marvel at their size as they emerge dripping and refreshed, just inches away from you. Touch them, smell them, feel in their power and talk to them. Then please select one who you like the most and give him/her a banana, he will be your friend forever.
