[2025 Hang Dong ] Travel Guide for Patara Elephant Farm (Updated May)

I got an experience that will not be forgotten in my life, able to visit one of the Elephant captains and conservatories in Chiang Mai. In Patara Elephant Park, anyone can participate in a variety of experiences, such as observing the life of elephants in their natural environment, learning how to take care of them. The staff at the park are all professional animal conservationists who will tell us stories and lifestyle habits of elephants, even a lot of cold knowledge. Patara Elephant Farm, based in Chiang Mai, Thailand. This park provides a safe and natural environment where elephants can walk freely and enjoy their lives. This is where they rescue stray elephants and they give them the space and care they deserve. #bangkoktrip

An elephant camp that helps increase the population of domestic elephants. There are programs to take care of elephants, bathe them, feed them and play with them. The number of elephants per tourist is only 1-1 or 1-2 people, giving a feeling of privacy and being able to fully learn and touch the elephants without being chaotic, which is different from other places that have only 3-4 elephants but allow 20-30 tourists to come and rub the bodies of only a few elephants.

#animalcontact This one of a kind cafe is owned and operated by the same wonderful people who run Patara Elephant Farm, Elefin Farm and Cafe was opened in a response to the changing tourism landscape during Covidin 2020. In order to keep bringing attention to the conservation of elephants and to keep their flock fed and healthy, the decided to target the local market. The elephants are free to roam around, and they come to see you if they want, in search of bananas and pieces of sugar cane. The entrance fee is around 100 B for adult and 50 B for children. #100waysoftravel#familytrip

Phat Elephant Farm, an elephant camp where you can truly experience nature. This is a place to breed and learn about elephants in a natural way. The atmosphere here is shady and there is a stream flowing through it, which is very suitable for camping. In addition to being a place to visit and relax, the highlight here is the activity of being with and learning about elephants for 1 day, with a limited number of tourists and everyone getting to take care of 1 elephant each. Before starting the adventure, there will be a description of the background of elephants from the past, why elephants are the national symbol of Thailand. In each program, we will learn everything from how to communicate with elephants, observe elephant health, feed them, bathe them properly, and even how to ride elephants, which is considered a very interesting activity. Coming to the elephant camp this time, I learned a lot, more than going to the zoo or sitting in a classroom. The knowledge we got from the camp is knowledge and information about elephants that we cannot find on the internet. We feel that way. Some things we know from the internet are completely opposite to the truth that we experience and learn from the elephant camp. Who said that traveling or going out is a waste of money? If we know how to travel well, I assure you that traveling will be more than just traveling. If you have the chance, I want everyone to try coming here. This place is definitely different from the elephant camps you guys have been to. Location: Located at Ban Pong, Hang Dong District, Chiang Mai Province #TeamNortheastern #TeamNortheastern
