ChangChill Elephant Sanctuary (Ethical) tours

The tour guide's humorous and engaging explanations helped me better understand the characteristics of Asian elephants. Highly recommend this must-do experience in Chiang Mai, a rare opportunity. You can choose whether or not to play with the elephants in the water (you will get completely wet), and during the subsequent bamboo rafting, your lower body will definitely get wet. For shoes, you can bring flip-flops and wear comfortable shoes that are easy to change into at any time, or you can just wear flip-flops the entire time, like I did. Solo traveler friendly! 08:00 pick me up - 8:20 pick up other group members, including those meeting at the gathering point, and depart, driving towards the mountains - 9:45 Play with elephants - 11:00 Make vitamin balls - 11:50 Lunch (chicken curry/appetizing cold vegetable salad/chicken nuggets/watermelon) - 12:30 Head to a small waterfall to play in the water - 13:30 Rafting, a fun experience, very chill and peaceful, experience the tranquility of the small town drifting on the river - Around 16:00 Return to the city. Unfortunately, the driver forgot to take me back to the hotel, so I had to get back on my own.

wonderful transfer service. atvs were well maintained in abundance. route was very fun, not too difficult. guide was amazing, communicative and funny. well worth the experience if you want to see a more intimate side of Thailand.

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.

Highly recommend this tour. We really enjoyed spending time with the elephant. We would like to highlight the ecopark to those who like to travel to Chiang Mai as the 50% of the payment will be use for the elephants food and maintenance.

Amazing trip, had such a fun day. The guide made the trip great too. Elephants are taken good care of too at the Elephant Park, no riding and no washing them! Seen baby Elephants too, very cute. ** This is a new activity on Klook and doesn’t have any reviews yet.

It was a perfect tour. Before meeting the elephants, we were given explanations about elephant language and food, and the staff was very interesting and fun to listen to. We walked with the elephants, took photos with the elephants holding us, kissed our cheeks, and hugged us, which was very satisfying. They let us wear oversized clothes to prevent our clothes from getting dirty. The elephants go into the river to bathe, but the fountain from the elephant's trunk may get your hair and pants wet. It's okay as long as you're far away. At the end, the photos we took with the elephants are sold in frames made from poop paper. I think it was about 600 yen. We were the only ones on the zip line, so we were able to enjoy it smoothly. The staff took my phone and took good photos and videos. At the end, they gave us water. We had some time left, so we went to the long-neck village right next to it, as they told us it was there. It felt like an ordinary small village with no name on the map. We were planning to go to the long-neck village of Karen the next day, so we thought about buying souvenirs here too, but we thought it would help supplement their food, so we took photos with them and bought souvenirs before going home. I was very satisfied, so I recommend it.

Pipi Tony is the best! I loved how he shared a brief history of Thailand and the places we visited. He even backed up his stories with pictures, which made us appreciate them even more. He was patient, fun to be around, and even taught us how to haggle at the market. He also recommended foods to try that helped us save money without missing out on the experience. I can truly recommend this tour to everyone!

Our female tour guide was excellent; not only did she clearly explain the key details in both English and Chinese, but the experience was so good that you would definitely want to come back if given the chance to go on a similar tour. Keep it up for her…🙏🏻🙂
