Elephant treks are easily arranged in Chiang Rai, and local tour companies can set you up with a variety of packages. Most elephant rides are included as a leg of a longer trek, the lengths and routes of which vary considerably. Chiang Mai city is surrounding by dense, mountainous jungles that run alongside the Mae Kok River and ultimately culminate in the Golden Triangle and Mekong River area. Children have opportunity to see how the elephants are bathed, fed and cared for, and there's also the possibility that you'll see a mother and baby.
