Chokchai Elephant Camp, located in the scenic surroundings of Mae Tang, Chiangmai, Thailand, has evolved significantly in its 17-year history. Established in January 2006 by Mr. Chokchai Srisirivilai.

At Chokchai Elephant Camp, we offer more than just an elephant experience. Discover a unique program that combines traditional Muay Thai training with ethical elephant care, creating a meaningful journey of culture, strength, and compassion—all in one place. Whether you are a beginner or simply curious, this experience allows you to train, learn, and connect with Thailand’s heritage in an authentic and respectful way.

One common belief circulating online is that elephant care in Thailand must absolutely prohibit the use of hooks (often called elephant hooks or bull hooks) to be considered ethical and humane. However, this assumption oversimplifies how elephant welfare is actually understood in scientific, veterinary, and practical management contexts.
