For more than 20 years, Karen tribes have rented their elephants to Elephant Camps because they could no longer legally use the Elephants for logging work.  e Karen people have traditionally worked with Elephants but now the tradition is fading.
A er seeing other Elephant owners change their way of caring for their Elephants, a group of Elephant owners in Mae Wang area, just south of Chiang Mai city, have agreed to stop renting their Elephants to the trekking industry and have committed to care for the Elephants at their homes with the support of Save Elephant Foundation and forget the trekking chairs.
We are now pleased to add another Elephant experience to our portfolio called Karen Elephant Experience which allows more Elephants to roam free in their natural habitat without riding..
