Chokchai and San-dee: Two majestic souls, forever bonded by friendship.

Why do Chokchai Elephant Camp still has an elephant riding? In our concept of "better mahout life, better elephant care".

Thailand offers a variety of elephant-related activities for visitors, ranging from riding experiences to non-riding interactions such as feeding, bathing, and educational programs. These options are considered personal choices, as each provides a different type of experience and level of interaction. Elephant camps in Thailand operate under national welfare guidelines and industry standards that emphasize animal health, rest periods, proper nutrition, safe living environments, and professional care. In addition, Thai animal welfare laws establish clear regulations and penalties to ensure responsible treatment and consistent standards across the country. Travelers are encouraged to learn about each activity, review the camp’s welfare practices, and select programs that align with their comfort level and values. Visiting elephant camps as an educational and cultural experience can help promote responsible and sustainable tourism while supporting proper animal care.

Chokchai Elephant Camp, located in the scenic surroundings of Mae Tang, Chiangmai, Thailand, has evolved significantly in its 17-year history. Established in January 2006 by Mr. Chokchai Srisirivilai.
