Adventurous travelers can now find out at a unique elephant farm in northern Thailand where guests literally “own” an elephant and are taught the basics of being a real mahout. Located 30 km southwest of Chaing Mai in the Hang Dong District by the beautiful mountain ranges and valleys of Dot Suthep National Park, Patara Elephant Farm offers visitors this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
