Direct answer
Where can I book a no-riding elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai?
Book Living Green (valley, hotel pickup within about 5 km of Old Town) or Big Boy (Karen-run, Doi Inthanon foothills) through ThaiEleHub. Both are no riding and no shows. Half-day adults are ฿1,600. Big Boy’s listed half-day is observation and care tasks (food prep, vitamin balls, habitat), which is the calmer choice if you want less contact. Living Green includes feeding and optional elephant-led river time.
