Parque de Aposentadoria de Elefantes de Chiang Mai - Programas de Cuidados com Elefantes

This was our favourite thing to do on our Thailand trip. we booked it the night before which was really easy, pickup was confirmed and we were ready waiting, we were unsure of our pickup time so I phoned and spoke to a lovely lady who confirmed our driver was enroute. We had a great tour guide and when we arrived at the retirement park everything was so chilled and laid back, we ate a lovely lunch of noodles, rice and sweet potato fries with water and coffee supplies. We got a chance to feed the elephants during this and plenty time to relax with the animals. we then went and gave them a mud bath but on the elephants terms, when they wanted to and then we went to the bath to wash them down which was brilliant. Everyone was so lovely, clearly loved the elephants and we were given clothes to wear and a shower after with a towel. showers were great and soap too. Highly recommend this trip to anyone who doesn't want to ride elephants and wants to see them chilling. thankyou

¡Este es el encuentro cercano más relajante y divertido con los elefantes! Hicimos vitaminas herbales para los elefantes, ¡los alimentamos y los bañamos! Además, no te apuran en este tour. ¡También tuvimos un buen almuerzo vegano! ¡Definitivamente lo recomiendo!

如果到了清邁，一定要安排一天來這裡！ 在這裡沒有大象表演、沒有騎大象，只有跟大象的零距離接觸！大象數量不多，但能真切感受到他們是開心的❤️ 活動流程順暢，有非常足夠的時間跟大象互動。活動前一天會發mail確認隔天接駁時間，從當天司機準時到飯店接送、飼育員講解大象知識及教導如何跟大象互動、到最後簡單美味的早餐，整體是非常棒的體驗！

Today is the most enjoyable day in Chiang Mai. I didn't make a strategy to find the elephant camp. It was unexpectedly fun. The tour guide is also very warm and friendly. If I come to Chiang Mai next time, I will definitely come again. The elephants are so cute.

前一天會寄郵件通知，同時給電話與Whats App帳號供聯繫。非常準時的在7點開始接第一個飯店客人，約八點接完所有人(當天有人未準時，導致時間延長)。我參加的團當天有八人，接送的車子是12人座，所以空間很ok。接完客人後車程約1小時抵達園區。 到達園區時有咖啡可以現泡，提供衣服更換(上衣與短褲)，上衣開口大，因此行程都會建議在裡面穿泳衣。換完衣服後，會為大家介紹講解園區的大象(從泰國和其他國家拯救過來)。之後會給整袋香蕉邊餵食、邊一起散步。過程非常棒，真的能和大象近距離接觸。餵食後，再幫大象塗泥巴，然後換池子幫大象洗澡。活動結束後則是一起吃簡易的午餐。 拍照部分會有一個攝影師偶爾出現，一個人照片是300泰銖，會在吃完午餐後看電子檔讓你決定是否購買。若購買，會透過電子郵件傳送可下載的網址。若有想要購買，建議在攝影師出現時，多多拍照。 總之是一個非常推薦、能真的和大象互動的行程，也很適合父母帶孩子參加。不過，孩子較建議國中以上，因為最後的水池有相當深度，個子太小可能無法進入水池，會很可惜了這個活動。 ps:活動中，相對大象，更要留意小象，因為年紀小，有時會動作較快。要稍微注意一下

從Klook預訂大象營的行程非常便捷。大象營提前一天郵件告知上車時間以及確認地點，隔天在說定的時間提早了5-10分鐘抵達。車子是15人的小巴、有空調、也非常新非常乾淨。從市區陸續又接了3組人，一路開往大象營。營區在山上，導遊帶我們做了餵食大象的營養丸子，一邊解釋大象需要丸子裡的維生素、藥片以及各式營養。另外還提供了非常多免費的小香蕉給象群們當點心。我們還在現場買了牛奶餵食小象，大人小孩都玩得很開心。第一次這麼近距離接近如此龐大的動物，有點緊張，但後來在工作人員的引導下漸漸放鬆，很享受。其中還認識了熱愛大象的志願者Francesco, 固定週末到大象營來做義工，除了用行動支持，也捐錢出力。他和大象們的溫馨互動，以及耐心解釋象群的不同，讓我們對於此行更是深信沒有來錯地方。

são pontuais nos horários de ida e volta. almoço não tinha opções de proteína, era vegetariano. elefantes bem cuidados, a equipe parece gostar . cobra 800 bath (opcional) para receber as fotos para duas pessoas tiradas durante a manhã do passeio. se não gostar não precisa pagar. O bebê elefante é uma graça.

LOVED this experience! The elephants were adorable and so full of character, and the staff were engaging and very passionate, telling us about the park and how to handle the elephants. We were looking for an ethical park to visit, and we could tell that this was it. We were picked up at our hotel in Nimman at around 12:40 PM, and the transport was an air-conditioned van (yay!). It took us about an hour-ish to get to the park. Lunch is also provided – the goreng pisang/fried banana is delicious. The elephants were happy, well taken care of, and sooooo adorable. They have been rescued from circuses and lumber factories! Do visit if you get the chance; it’s really worth it.

It was incredible to hang out with these majestic animals up close, and I left with hundreds of photos. This activity is highly recommended to any age group. They provided lunch and a change of clothing. Though the cloth is quite revealing, you can definitely wear swimming attire inside and use the cloth as cover-ups. They provide towels for showering too. It is truly an amazing experience and worth the money. I am sure the funds will go to the care of the elephants.

It was a wonderful experience feeding and bathing these magnificent elephants. The staff were excellent from start to finish — from hotel pickup, to clear explanations, all the way through to drop-off. Of course, I’d love to see them roaming free in the wild, but conservation efforts like this are essential, as they can no longer survive on their own. Highly advise to bring mosquitoes repellent!!!!!
