🎟 Elephant Parade Land - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

Elephant Parade Land in Chiang Mai

Discover a truly unique project in Chiang Mai. You’ve probably spotted those adorable, hand-painted elephant statues around the city or perhaps across Thailand and even the world!

Elephant Parade was inspired by helping Mosha, a baby elephant who lost part of her leg to a landmine and became the first elephant to receive and use a prosthetic leg, and it has since grown into a global art‑and‑conservation initiative for Asian elephants.

At Elephant Parade Land, you can learn the heartwarming story behind the project, watch artists bring their designs to life, and even paint your own miniature elephant. It’s a fantastic experience for children and honestly, who doesn’t love elephants? It’s fun for all ages. Don’t forget to stop by their beautiful gift shop, where you can purchase elephant-themed merchandise with 20% of proceeds going directly to elephant conservation efforts.

📍 Location in Noi-am Street Lane, Ban Tho, Chang Phueak, San Phisuea, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai Province, 50300, Thailand

Key facts and tips:

• Location: Brekkenpaad 1, 8614 AN Oudega SWF, Friesland, directly on the Oudegaaster Brekken lake.

• Historic significance: Oldest and largest spider head mill in the Netherlands.

• Visit: The mill can be visited by appointment, or when it is operating.
