Of course, if you go to the Chiang Mai Zoo, you'll see elephants. But the pleasure of meeting the world's largest mammal on land is multiplied when the encounter takes place in its natural environment, the Asian jungle. With Loolu, you won't go to large structures offering dozens of elephants to an unlimited number of tourists. Loolu favours small family camps, run by Karen people - like him - with a maximum of three or four elephants, including baby elephant, who meet 9 people at most (often much less). They therefore have every interest in respecting their pachyderm (whose medical care is expensive).

​

You will go to a camp near Chiang Mai. Once changed into Mahout, you will receive an explanation of the lifestyle of the elephants in contact with. You will have the pleasure of feeding them (with sugar cane or bananas) and then walking with them to a watering point. And it's time for an entertaining mud bath with the elephants, often players :) then it will be time to say goodbye to the elephants and return to Chiang Mai, with precious memories to take home.
