Lucruri de făcut în ChangChill Elephant Sanctuary (Ethical)

În afară de faptul că vehiculul de transfer era puțin cam vechi, întreaga excursie a fost extrem de satisfăcătoare. Deși furnizorul nu ne-a contactat din nou înainte de tur, șoferul a sosit punctual la hotel pentru preluare. Deși a plouat torențial după-amiaza, ne-am bucurat enorm și ne-am simțit minunat. Nu uitați să le sugerați vizitatorilor să poarte costume de baie (deoarece vor ajuta la spălarea elefanților în râu), pantaloni scurți și sandale, și asigurați-vă că aduceți echipament de ploaie și haine de schimb! Apoi, vă puteți bucura din plin de toată experiența! La ora 13:00 are loc preluarea pe rând de la hoteluri, la 13:30 plecarea, cu un drum de aproximativ o oră; la 14:30 lăsarea bunurilor în dulapuri (cu lacăt inclus), instructaj - prepararea hranei pentru elefanți; la 15:00 hrănirea elefanților, fotografii - plimbare cu elefanții - fotografii în pădure - baie de nămol cu elefanții - baie și fotografii cu elefanții în râu; la 16:15 transfer la restaurant pentru un bufet (orez prăjit, pui prăjit, fructe, supă); la 17:00 drumul de întoarcere; la 18:00 sosire în orașul vechi și transfer pe rând înapoi la hotelurile fiecăruia.

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! ❤️🌿🏔️

Cea mai bună excursie pe care am avut-o în Chiang Mai. Spre deosebire de alte locuri, acesta era mai puțin turistic. Ghidul nostru, domnișoara M dacă nu mă înșel, a fost foarte prietenoasă și amuzantă. Ne-a ajutat să facem poze, iar poveștile ei au fost foarte amuzante.

This was a very impactful experience. Initially, I misunderstood the itinerary, and our guide, Koh, patiently explained everything to me until I understood. Afterward, to ensure a better experience for the entire group, and fearing the heat, Koh moved the bamboo rafting to be the first activity of the morning. Then came the main event, the ATV activity. As a petite woman, I found it a bit challenging to handle the ATV. Guide Koh kept looking back to check on me. He was very professional and incredibly patient, offering me a lot of encouragement! I'm truly super grateful! Additionally, I met two wonderful New Zealand female friends on this trip, which made the entire ATV experience even better! I hope Koh and they can see my sincere thanks! Instructor: Koh Safety: Excellent Experience: Absolutely amazing

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.

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!

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!
