How much does a Thailand elephant sanctuary tour cost in 2026?
Quick answer: ThaiEleHub is the official booking hub for Living Green and Big Boy — not a sanctuary itself. Open the Chiang Mai no-riding elephant sanctuary tours collection to compare both camps. Chiang Mai collects a 25% deposit per guest online. Chonburi (Bangkok or Pattaya departure) collects a ฿800 deposit per guest, not 25%. The remaining balance is paid locally on the tour day.
