Chiang Mai: Ethical Elephant Tour & Pad Thai Cooking

Visit Big Boy Elephant Sanctuary near Doi Inthanon National Park and observe the elephants in their natural environment. Prepare and feed the elephants and enjoy a Pad Thai cooking workshop.
Visit Big Boy Elephant Sanctuary, an ethical elephant conservation center located near Doi Inthanon National Park, amidst the beautiful landscape of Northern Thailand. Stand apart from typical elephant tourist attractions through a proud "no control" policy.

At the sanctuary, uphold important principles: no elephant riding, no controlled walking, no mandatory bathing, and no commanding elephants to follow orders. These activities, commonly practiced at many tourist attractions, require controlling elephants through various means. At Big Boy, believe elephants should live as naturally as possible without human control or interference.

Enjoy a special experience observing elephants living freely—eating, playing, and staying together as a family without human interference. This is an opportunity to learn about and appreciate elephants in an environment that closely resembles their natural habitat.

Listen to stories and insights from those with real experience regarding elephant behavior, health, and proper care for elderly and sick elephants. Work together to prepare food from natural materials, feed the elephants up close, and observe their reactions in a friendly and warm atmosphere.

Master the art of authentic Pad Thai preparation under the guidance of local culinary experts. Learn to prepare this traditional dish using an ancient family recipe passed down through generations, and then enjoy your creation for lunch.
