ChangChill Elephant Sanctuary (Ethical) tours

Aside from the slightly older shuttle vehicle, the entire trip was very satisfying. Although the supplier doesn't contact you again before the trip, the driver arrived on time for hotel pickup. We experienced heavy afternoon rain, but still thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had a great time. Remember to advise tourists to wear swimsuits (because you'll be bathing elephants in the river) or shorts and sandals, and to definitely bring rain gear and a change of clothes! Then you can enjoy the whole process! At 1:00 PM, hotel pickups begin. At 1:30 PM, we depart for about an hour's drive. At 2:30 PM, you can store your belongings in lockers (locks provided), followed by an explanation and preparation of food for feeding the elephants. At 3:00 PM, you'll feed the elephants, take photos, walk with the elephants, take photos in the forest, play in the mud with the elephants, and bathe and take photos with the elephants in the river. At 4:15 PM, you'll be shuttled to the restaurant for a buffet meal (fried rice, fried chicken nuggets, fruit, soup). At 5:00 PM, we begin the return journey, arriving at the old city at 6:00 PM for drop-offs back to individual hotels.

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! ❤️🌿🏔️

The best trip i had in Chiang Mai. Unlike other places, this was less touristy. Our guide, Miss M if im not mistaken, was very friendly and funny. She helped us take pictures and her stories were very funny.

I really enjoyed going to the elephant sanctuary. The tour guide, Chat, was really good. The refreshing rain was really nice to bathe in. The waterfall was truly beautiful. The rafting activity was really amazing. Everything is good and follows the time.

🐘💦 The elephant experience and the waterfall were absolutely insane! 🤩🔥 Such an amazing experience — unforgettable moments, beautiful nature, and so much fun! 🐘🌿💦 Definitely one of the best experiences of our trip! ❤️
