If you can’t splash each other this Songkran, splash an elephant instead — in Chiang Mai.
Chiang Mai’s Maesa Elephant Camp invites tourists to splash in the water with elephants during the Songkran holidays, which will be celebrated this week from April 13 – 16. The camp is open from 9am – 3pm every day and admission is free. After facing hardship throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, Maesa’s elephants hope tourists will flock to visit them this Thai New Year.
Maesa Elephant Camp, located in the Mae Rim district of northern Thailand’s Chiang Mai Province, is expecting high numbers of tourists this Songkran holiday. The slight ease in Thailand’s entry requirements, such as the cancellation of the pre-arrival PCR test, is starting to attract a few more foreign tourists into the country.
Maesa has been decorated to give the camp a traditional Songkran atmosphere this year….
