Each morning, at Km 10 on Mae Rim-Samoeng route, some 30 kms from town, trained elephants demonstrate their formidable and highly-valued forestry skills from 9.30 untill 10.00 am, at the Mae Sa Elephant Training Centre.  A jungle tour on elephant back, lasting more than two hours through adjacent forests, is offered after the show.  Elephants at work can also be seen at the Pong Yaeng Elephant Centre at Km. 19 on the same route, and the Elephant Nature Park at Mae Taman on the Chiang Mai-Fang Road, some 57 kms from Chiang Mai.
