Chiang Mai Elephant Sanctuary (Office)

Chiang Mai Elephant Sanctuary (Office) is the in-town base in the Old City for bookings and pre-trip questions before you head out to the elephants. Easy to reach anywhere inside the moat, it’s handy if you’re staying along Moon Muang or Ratchadamnoen. Walk in to compare morning vs afternoon departures, ask about pickup options, and clarify the important stuff—riding policy, group size, and how long you’ll be on site. You can also check what to pack (quick-dry clothes, towel, sandals) and match a tour to your schedule. Good for backpackers and small groups; stop by a day ahead if you want weekend spots.
