Maesa Elephant Camp: Q&A, NEARBY, PRICE, E-TICKT, 
Maesa Elephant Camp was established on the 8th of April 1976 by Mr.Choochart Kalmapijit During the time, Thai Government was supporting Chiang Mai province to be one of tourist attractions of Thailand. Many leading travel agencies were suggesting that Chiang Mai should have elephant camp as a tourist attraction.
Seeing this possibility, Mr.Choochart decided to make the investment establishing Maesa Elephant Camp. Begin from renting the 30 Rais piece of land in Mae Mae village from “Kong pun sud tang” (Pack Squadron of Thai military) which had already been elephant camp, 5-6 elephants were rented from Karen people, living in Sa-Merng district. Initially, the elephant show was focused on logs working of elephant and there were only 5-10 visitors each day. 
It’s been a while before the show has been changed into more entertaining direction, for example, a show of elephant playing soccer, and drawing pictures. Until now, Mr.Choochart has always been taking good care of the elephant’s life in the camp, especially the food.
