ABOUT
New Elephant Home is an upcoming ethical elephant sanctuary project in Chiang Mai, Thailand that transformed itself in 2020 from what was previously an elephant entertainment camp. With the support of Lek Chailert, from Elephant Nature Park and Save Elephant Foundation, we have been working hard to give our elephants a more dignified life. Today, they roam freely in our spacious land without needing to undertake any hard labor.

EXCELLENT Based on 70 reviews Daniel McnultyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great value for money and brilliant guides and lovely elephants Simon ReisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best experience during our stay in Thailand! When we arrived at New Elephant Home we received a warm welcome from the staff. We got the opportunity to use their traditional clothes during our visit. We had to prepare the snacks for the elephants and started to feed them. Then we went for a walk with the keepers and a really kind elephant called “little”. You can see that the elephants are very happy to be there and the staff is doing their best for them. After meeting the elephants we visited the long neck village in this camp. Due to the good English of our really friendly guide we were able to had a conversation about the history and vision of the New elephants home and got a lot of insights in the culture of long neck village. We had a lot of fun and can really recommend it, totally worth the money! Ilias TrichopoulosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a beautiful place with lovely people and elephants! The people really care for these animals. I would recommend you visit and ask for the story of the place! They will be very happy to tell you!

Hermoso lugar con elefantes rescatados, fuimos por parte de un tour, pudimos alimentar elefantes, bañarlos y comimos ahí mismo… tienen baño y regadera Christian von OldershausenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Einer der wenigen Orte an denen die Elefanten tatsächlich artgerecht behandelt und gepflegt werden. Tolle, freundliche und sehr bemühte Angestellte. Wer Elefanten streicheln, füttern, waschen und tierquälerei vermeiden will, der ist hier genau richtig. Eine absolute Empfehlung!
