Co dělat v ChangChill Elephant Sanctuary (Ethical)

Kromě poněkud staršího vozidla pro transfer byl celý výlet velmi uspokojivý. Ačkoli dodavatel předem znovu nekontaktuje, řidič dorazil včas do hotelu pro vyzvednutí. Přijeli jsme zrovna v době odpoledního deště, ale i tak jsme si to velmi užili a byli jsme šťastní. Nezapomeňte upozornit turisty, aby si vzali plavky (protože se budou koupat se slony v řece) nebo šortky a sandály, a nezapomeňte si vzít pláštěnku a náhradní oblečení! Pak si můžete užít celý program! V 13:00 vyzvednutí z hotelů, v 13:30 odjezd (asi hodinu jízdy), v 14:30 uložení věcí do skříněk (s zámkem), vysvětlení – příprava krmiva pro slony, v 15:00 krmení slonů, focení – procházka se slony – focení v lese – hraní si se slony v blátě – koupání se slony v řece a focení, v 16:15 transfer do restaurace na bufetovou večeři (smažená rýže, smažené kuřecí nugety, ovoce, polévka), v 17:00 návrat, v 18:00 příjezd do starého města a postupné rozvezení zpět do jednotlivých hotelů.

We had an absolutely amazing day! The ATV ride was so much fun, and the views along the way as we explored different locations were breathtaking. We then visited a beautiful waterfall before ending the day with a peaceful bamboo rafting experience, such a relaxing way to finish an adventurous day. I would honestly do this experience again and again! Our tour guides were incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming, which made the entire experience even better. Absolutely one of the best experiences we’ve had! ❤️🌿🏔️

Nejlepší výlet, jaký jsem v Chiang Mai zažil. Na rozdíl od jiných míst, toto bylo méně turistické. Naše průvodkyně, slečna M, pokud se nepletu, byla velmi přátelská a vtipná. Pomáhala nám fotit a její historky byly velmi zábavné.

A fantastic experience! The three zipline guides were humorous and responsible, helping us take photos throughout and ensuring we had a great time! The three elephants were all adorable little girls with distinct personalities; feeding and bathing them was a joy. The bamboo rafting was also very fun, allowing us to enjoy the scenery in the beautiful jungle. We even got to experience it in the rain, which was a unique touch. The entire trip was relaxing and pleasant, with not too many people, making it very laid-back!

Opravdu jsem si užil návštěvu sloní rezervace. Průvodce Chat byl opravdu skvělý. Osvěžující déšť byl velmi příjemný ke koupání. Vodopád byl skutečně nádherný. Rafting byl opravdu úžasný. Vše je v pořádku a drží se časového plánu.

First and foremost, I highly recommend this tour. At the beginning, during pickup, the guide couldn't find us due to an inaccurate accommodation address. Even though he searched for us for nearly an hour under the hot sun, he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he quickly rearranged the itinerary and had a driver pick us up. I'm truly grateful to him. The pickup vehicle was an air-conditioned 11-seater van, which was very comfortable. The elephant sanctuary isn't very large, but it has reasonably clean restrooms. It's worth noting that you can feel the genuine love the conservationists and guide have for the elephants. There are no commercial performances or rides, only interactive activities like feeding, showering, and making rice balls with the elephants. There's also plenty of time to interact and take photos with them. The guide is very knowledgeable about elephant ecology and will explain everything in detail, guiding us through our interactions with the elephants. For lunch, there was delicious Northern Thai curry noodles, fried rice, fruit, and more – that fried rice was truly amazing! The ziplining part was also a lot of fun. The instructors were professional and humorous, ensuring everyone's safety. They also took photos and videos for us during the activity. There are about ten different ziplines to try, with varying distances, heights, and types, so you won't get bored. It was genuinely enjoyable! Finally, I want to thank the guide again. He was truly dedicated, genuinely loves elephants, and was very friendly to the tourists. All in all, I highly recommend this tour!
