Chiang Mai elephant sanctuary: morning or afternoon?
Pick morning, with pickup around 07:00–07:30 and a return around 14:00, when you want cooler air. Adult half-day fare is ฿1,400 at Living Green and ฿1,500 at Big Boy. Deposit is 25% per guest. Hotel pickup is within about 5 km of Old Town.
Pick afternoon, with Living Green pickup about 12:00–12:30, when you want a slow morning in the city. Core activities match the morning product at the same adult fare. Same-day holds depend on operator confirmation, not a live seat map.

Follow-up questions
Can I book for tomorrow morning?
Yes when the date is still at least 10 hours before the 07:00 pickup. Online booking closes at 21:00 the night before. After that the date field refuses the order.
