Elephant Nature Park Review: Is This Thailand’s Best Ethical Sanctuary?

Is the Elephant Nature Park (ENP) in Chiang Mai truly the gold standard for ethical elephant tourism? Join me as I go hands-on with this world-renowned rescue program to find out what a responsible elephant encounter looks like in 2025. This in-depth review shares the inspiring stories of over 100 elephants rescued from logging, riding camps, and the circus industry, highlighting how this park leads the way in rehabilitation and animal welfare.

Throughout this experience, we participate in gentle jungle walks with the herd—strictly following the "no riding" policy—and assist in preparing food and feeding these gentle giants. We also take a close look at the park's conservation efforts and how your visit directly supports the protection of elephants in Thailand. Watch to discover why choosing responsible travel is vital for the future of these incredible animals and what you can expect from a day at ENP.
