Chiang Dao Elephant Camp Elephant Painting

Chiang Dao is a town situated north of Chiang Mai, famous for its Elephant Camp and Elephant show. You arrive at the camp after a drive along picturesque routes - winding around the bends of the road high above the Mae (River) Ping.
The 40 minute show begins with a majestic procession of elephants marching up the Mae (River) Ping. Then it is bath time - with much splashing and trumpeting. Later, the elephants demonstrate how they move large teak logs as if they were matchsticks, a skill employed for more than a century in the teak forests of the North.

  • This video makes me sad. These elephants are not having fun. The training it takes to teach an elephant to paint is more brutal than just about any other tricks they're taught. They all just seemed so lifeless in the water. I spent a month at a Karen village where elephants were allowed to forage in their natural habitats without putting on performances. They were happy.

  • Very nice I like to see the Elephants having fun :)

  • Great Video
