Experiência no Santuário de Elefantes Chokchai Chiang Mai

It was such an enjoyable experience. Other tours felt a bit expensive at around 60,000 won including pickup, but I chose this one because the price seemed reasonable without pickup. It was indeed a good choice. Each team was assigned a guide who kindly and thoroughly explained everything (it seemed like English or Chinese options were available). There are a total of 15 elephants living here, and they were all so cute and gentle. At nearby elephant cafes, the food baskets were small and expensive, but here I got to feed them plenty and interact a lot with the elephants. I think it will be a lifelong memory! The meal was Chinese style, but I enjoyed the egg stir-fry, meat stir-fry, and noodles. I plan to revisit this place next time too!

There was a buffet spread, and my husband, who has allergies to dairy, wheat, nuts, and eggs, could still enjoy some traditional meals. They also offered hot tea and water. Other drinks and snacks were available for purchase. The view is quite beautiful. We were able to store our belongings in a locker free of charge. They provide covered seating with fans and Western-style restrooms with showers (if you get dirty and wish to change). They also have a charming gift shop! We visited the female elephants and their babies to feed them (food for the elephants was provided). Afterward, we posed for photos with the male elephant, and he bid us farewell with a bow. Then, we went on a 20-25 minute bamboo rafting trip—it was very safe and peaceful. Following that, we took a bus back (provided by them) to the campground, which took about 3-5 minutes. After waiting for the rain to stop, we went ziplining.

Everything was very satisfying and enjoyable! The staff also gave excellent introductions! The elephants were very cute and well-behaved! This was our favorite activity in Chiang Mai!

The experience was amazing, taking care of the elephants, playing and feeding them was so much fun. The bamboo rafting was so relaxing and the food was so good too. Tommy 2, the guide, was very funny and very well prepared; he explained very well about elephant life and diet. Thanks! Mr. T, my driver, was very kind; we shared some Thai tea and beers, having a very enjoyable conversation. I totally recommend the experience, it's unforgettable! I will come back for sure when I have the chance.

It's simply the best. There are no chains or riding of elephants, and it's clear that the facility raises them with great care. There were also baby elephants, and it was truly adorable to feed and touch them. We even participated in their bathing. They provide changes of clothes, flip-flops, and towels, so you only need to bring your underwear. It's a highly recommended sanctuary. The guide was also very kind and took many photos for us!

The impromptu half-day elephant tour turned out to be the biggest highlight of our entire trip. From the very beginning, we were captivated by our guide's cheerful and enthusiastic introduction. You could feel her passion for elephant conservation through her presentation. The entire elephant interaction experience was also very well-arranged: preparing food, feeding, interacting, taking photos, and playing in the water – all perfectly timed. The children had an absolute blast! Not only that, but there was also a buffet lunch available afterwards. Purchasing through Klook was definitely a great deal! 👍

We participated in the elephant bathing and bamboo rafting activity. Our guide, Tony, was very kind and explained everything carefully, also helping us take many beautiful photos! After bathing the elephants, he provided a clean towel for showering, and there were lockers available to securely store our belongings. Overall, it was a great experience!

Today, I went up the mountain again and participated in the Chokchai Elephant Camp in Chiang Mai, embarking on a close encounter with a herd of elephants. We fed the elephants, made herbal vitamin balls, learned to care for them in the river by bathing them, and went bamboo rafting... It was a lively and interesting ecological experience, and the food was delicious! 👍👍👍

Highly recommend purchasing tickets on Klook. The ticket price offers excellent value, as buying on-site costs 1600 Thai Baht per person. Clothes, pants, and towels are provided for changing and washing. A free and abundant buffet lunch is included. The staff can speak Chinese, and the activities are rich in content with no long waiting times for group consolidation.

The value for money was excellent! We even saw two adorable elephants playing in the middle of the river. Their mahout couldn't get them to come back, no matter how much he called. We're against animal performances, but these animals insisted on putting on a show!
