The Thai Elephant Conservation Center is located in Ban Thung Kwian, Wiang Tan subdistrict, and is under the supervision of the Northern Region Forestry Department.

The Forest Industry Organisation was originally an elephant training centre, the first and only one of its kind in the world, operating since 1969.

This is a place where young elephants are raised and trained in obedience and logging skills while their mothers work in the forest. When the forest closed, leaving the elephants unemployed, the training center for young elephants was transformed into a sanctuary for old and sick animals. It also serves as an elephant hospital. For this reason, the forestry organization established the Thai Elephant Conservation Center in January 1992 and began organizing tourist activities.

From Monday to Friday, there are two performances at 10:00 and 11:00 am.

For Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays: The additional program will be broadcast at 1:30 pm.
