Direct answer
What should I wear to an elephant sanctuary in Thailand?
Wear light clothes you can get dusty or muddy, plus shoes with grip. Living Green Chiang Mai provides traditional Northern garments on arrival. Bring a dry change and swimwear. Living Green guests bathe with the elephants when the elephants choose to go in. Bathing is elephant-led and never forced.
Programs still run in the rain. Pack a light rain layer in green season, roughly May through October. Morning pickup stays about 07:00–07:30 within about 5 km of Old Town. Leave drone filming unless the staff on the day say otherwise.
