Direct answer
Can you visit an elephant sanctuary from Bangkok in one day?
Yes. Bangkok-departure tours go to Living Green Chonburi, not to Chiang Mai. The Bangkok-departure adult half-day price is ฿1,900. The online deposit is ฿800 per guest, adult and child. Chiang Mai is a flight or an overnight trip, not a same-day return from a Bangkok hotel.
Pattaya uses the same Chonburi camp at ฿1,800 per adult, and the road transfer is a road transfer. The remaining balance is paid locally on the day. Do not book a Chiang Mai product today when the pickup hotel is in Bangkok or Pattaya.
Chonburi tours collect ฿800 per guest, not 25%.

Follow-up questions
Is the Bangkok tour at Living Green Chiang Mai?
No. Bangkok and Pattaya departures use the Chonburi Living Green program. Chiang Mai products are separate.
How does the Chonburi deposit work?
฿800 per guest (adult and child), then the remaining tour price on the day.
