Come and visit the Elephant Nature Park in
Chiang Mai and you would be helping to
protect an endangered species.
About 80 kilometres north of Chiang Mai in the beautiful and
luscious Mae Tang Valley is a peaceful and tranquil sanctuary for
elephants called the Elephant Nature Park. It was formed in 1995 by a
brave and committed lady, Sangduen “Lek” Chailert, who offers refuge
to old, injured and abused elephants and houses them in what can be
best described as an elephant retirement home. She has championed
the cause of the Asian elephant for many decades.

which means as land animals, they also spend a good deal of time in
the water.
