Hug Elephants Sanctuary

At Hug Elephants we are a family run project for the elephants. Our vision for the elephants are to no longer work with the elephant riding parks and we rely on visitors and volunteers alike to provide the love and care the elephants deserve. Along with providing you one of the greatest experiences of your life!
Our mission is to provide the elephants with the utmost car, comfort and freedom. Through transparent and honest methods and information. The health and happiness of our elephants are our number one priorities. Allowing you the volunteer to live as one with the elephants just as a traditional Mahout (elephant keeper) learning and understanding the ways of the elephant and their family.

We are located in the Mae Wang District/National Park approximately 1 hr south of Chiang Mai
