The place you are looking for is Elephant Nature Park - Volunteering. Volunteering in Thailand for helping animals from elephants to astray dogs left in Temples seems to be on the rise, according to the October/2013 Thai magazine edition - pages 40-43. The suggested park comes from Thai magazine.

Other "friendly" places that let tourists ride elephants mean that they had to "break" the elephant since a baby and separate them from their mothers, till they no long recognize their own, according to the info on the magazine. These "tamed" elephants have suffered brutally to learn it this way.

Cheers
