Friendly Guides & Caring Mahouts

At Chiangmai Elephant Land, our people are at the heart of everything we do. Our guides and mahouts bring years of experience, local knowledge, and genuine care for elephants and guests alike. They are certified by the Tourist Authority of Thailand, speak English, and are dedicated to making your visit memorable. Each elephant is looked after by a devoted mahout who ensures their comfort and wellbeing every day.

Meet Our Guides

Guide Toto

Toto is a cheerful man who always finds a way to make people smile. Kind-hearted and deeply connected with elephants, he has spent over 30 years sharing his traditional Hill Tribe roots. Born in a small Lisu village in the Chiang Dao Forest, Toto often welcomes guests to experience true jungle life — staying in tribal huts, tasting traditional food, and learning about the customs he grew up with. His warmth and knowledge make every tour unforgettable.

His upbeat energy and humor make every moment fun. Guests often leave with lasting memories not just of the elephants, but of the laughter shared with him throughout the day.
