  An amazing intimate experience. We were picked up on time by our guides and drove out to the sanctuary after stopping at a 7/11 for breakfast. The sanctuary is in the mountains, so a beautiful drive with a couple of steeps bends. When you park you are then transported further down the hill by 4x4 and then walk the last couple of hundred meters across the river. The guides are amazing and hilarious, we all had a real giggle. They are informative and passionate about the work. There are 5 beautiful elephants at the sanctuary, we found out lots about them. It’s hands off apart from feeding them some snacks at the start. Pumpkin was the snack the morning we went. We fed them 20-25 chunks each, so a great opportunity. After feed ing it’s time for a walk. The elephants dictate where the walk goes…. Was very uphill on our walk, who knew they were so nimble on their feet! After getting back it was time for a cuppa and swim if anyone wanted. The elephants came over to the area and did go for a drink. Certainly no bathing or swimming. After a delicious Pad Thai we all got to make a Yadom. As only 20ish in our group it was a cozy experience. I know everyone goes on about elephant nature park, but the are other ethical sanctuaries in the area that deserve the financial support of tourists. I can’t recommend Joy Elephant sanctuary enough, such special memories were made

  An amazing experience to see this well cared for and maintained elephant sanctuary. Great and informed guides. Also the hike was the highlight of the tour going through the Karen region seeing the rice fields and the small town was the best part. My favorite part of my trip visiting Chiang Mai

• Excellent tour!

  I've never booked a tour before but this tour was amazing from start to finish! The van that picked us up and took us between the activities was clean, spacious and very comfortable. At the sanctuary the elephants were very well cared for and after much research I am very happy we chose the Joy elephant sanctuary. For the rest of the tour, highest point, hiking and visiting the Karen tribe, our guide Joe was kind, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. What an unforgettable experience to learn about elephants, northern Thai culture and the communities that live here. Thank you to everyone involved!

  We enjoyed the trip a lot, our guide was very nice. The Elephant sanctuary indeed was great with no bathing or riding, only feeding the elephants and having a walk with them. The peak of Inthanon was beautiful but the trail was quite short on the other hand, the hike with the waterfall to the village was breathtaking, highly recommend.

• A perfect day

  Booked the full day tour comprising of half day elephant sanctuary, Doi Inthanon and hiking tour via Viator. Easy enough to book. Was picked up in a mini bus from our hotel on time, collected the other group members (8 in our group) and then drove Joy Sanctuary which took about 1.5 hrs. Stopped once on the way, able to get snacks and a coffee. Once we arrived a quick swap into a keel takes you into the sanctuary. We were welcomed nicely and they give you a Karen (local clothing) top. Had a chance to settle in and was told information about the sanctuary and our days itinerary. No bathing or riding the elephants. Each elephant had a 1:1 carer. Total of 5 female elephants in the sanctuary. We fed the elephants and then went for a short walk with them. Then there’s a chance to go into the river or just have tea and observe the elephants. Then it was lunch time; tofu pad Thai and fruit, bottled water provided. There are basic toilets onsite. We then did a short activity and went off to Doi Inthanon. Hour drive up, saw the twin pagodas and then drove for the hike. Hike was about 1.5 hrs, saw some small waterfalls, no Gibbons were seen, apparent sights are very rare to see them. The hike was ok, ended in a local native coffee and gift shop where you taste different locally made coffees. Overall the trip was great, very friendly and welcoming staff. Well organised, ran to time, started at 8am and dropped off at 7pm. The lunch was basic but tasty and there was plenty. The sanctuary is 9 months old and appears to be ethical from what we experienced

  Went with a small group and had a very personalized experience. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable! All three activities were incredible in their own way. The elephants were happy and full of personality, Doi Ithanon was gorgeous, and the hike went through the most beautiful forest I've ever seen. Extremely pleased with the whole thing and so happy they took pictures for me!

  Unforgettable elephant experience on a preserve that doesn't exploit the animals. There were a few little bonuses like the post hike tea.

  I thought long and hard about which elephant sanctuary would be the right one. There are so many options, and they all claim to be ethical. In the end, I was convinced by the fact that no riding, bathing, or touching is allowed at this one. Additionally, I was able to combine this trip with Doi Inthanon National Park, which was still on my bucket list. Before the trip, I asked myself: Is the extra cost really worth it? And can I fully experience the animals despite having less interaction with them? I can now answer both questions with a clear yes. We were allowed to feed the elephants from behind a protective fence—ensuring safety for both sides. We could also observe them up close in their natural environment. Seeing the gentle interaction between the elephants and their keepers also gave me a very good feeling. All four elephants were rescued from poor conditions and now get to fully enjoy their lives. I don’t normally write reviews, but I wanted to share my experience here because animal welfare is very important to me. Combining this visit with Doi Inthanon National Park was absolutely the right decision. I had one of the best days of my life. Many thanks for that!
