  One of the most delightful experiences for most tourists to Thailand is their experience riding in a safe howdah on the back of an elephant. While you may get the chance to ride an elephant in a zoo or a city theme park elsewhere, here at Maesa the experience is as authentic as they come.  For centuries elephants have been used for transportation through the thick jungles of South East Asia , and here at Maesa, with our very own waterfalls, streams, mountains and jungle, you will experience the adventure of a lifetime. Elephant riding is available daily and all year round.  
  Elephant Nursery:  At the turn of the last century there were over one hundred thousand elephants in Thailand , today there are less than five thousand. In view of this frightening statistic, Maesa Elephant Camp has, for many years, dedicated our knowledge and expertise to create a breeding programme, of which the success is proudly seen in our elephant nursery. Only five minutes walk from the elephant showground, baby elephants live with their mothers and are brought up with exceptional professional care where they spend happy childhoods shyly welcoming visitors.   Baby elephants will live together with their parent elephants until they are two and a half to three years old. During this time they will have their intelligence and skills fully developed by the professional and caring mahouts and staff. The Elephant Nursery is open daily from 7 a.m. – 2.30 p.m.  
  Elephant Art Exhibition Hall and Gallery:  Who would have thought that elephants could be artists? Well, strange indeed, but also true. Not all, but some elephants have taken to the paintbrush like fish to the water, each developing their own unique and distinctive strokes. Through years of working side by side with art teachers – as in any art college – a few outstanding artists have emerged at Maesa Elephant Camp with some of their works being on display in art galleries as far flung as New York , London and Tokyo .Our exhibition gallery is the only one in the world featuring paintings created by elephants so take this once in a life time opportunity to observe the development of elephants’ painting skills as well as viewing the recorded-by-Guinness painting entitled “Cold Wind, Swirling Mist, Charming Lanna I” which is 2.4 metres high and 6 metres long.You will also have a chance to do your bit towards the conservation of the Asian elephant by purchasing your very own unique elephant painting.This gigantic painting is on display daily from 8.30 a.m. – 2.30 p.m.  With each painting by an elephant which you purchase, a portion of the proceeds will go directly towards the conservation of the Asian elephants.
