Riding Elephants in Chiang Mai

Destination Spotlight | February 09, 2012

Prior to going to Thailand, I was most looking forward to getting to ride elephants, and this was definitely a highlight of the trip! We went to Maetaman Elephant Camp where we rode elephants and then went on a bamboo raft down the river.

There are many places in Chiang Mai where you can ride elephants, but we chose to go here because they have a really long trail and you also go through the river.

On the way back we stopped to see the 3 week old baby elephant with it’s mom! SO CUTE!!!

After that we took a ride down the river on a bamboo raft. It was so beautiful and peaceful on the water!

I highly recommend a day at Maetaman Elephant Camp for anyone visiting Chiang Mai!
