Our day at Baan Chang Elephant Park was a wonderful experience, one of the highlights of our honeymoon in Thailand. We spent the day taking care of the elephants, learning about those special creatures and laughing with our guide. We would definitely recommend you stopping by this beautiful sanctuary as part of your trip in Thailand.
One of the most beautiful experience ever lived. The elephants are well kept and not stressed. The guys who work here are helpful and nice. Expert and professional guide, all organized down to the smallest detail. Congratulations to everyone, we’ll be back because we leave a piece of our heart.
AN UNFORGETTABLE DAY!!! These elephants leave a good life here. I’m so glad I choose this place and could give the money to someone who really care about the animals!!!
DON’T MISS THIS EXPERIENCE!We were here with a family of 3 children, 5,8,11, and it was an amazing day for all of us.you get to feed, pet, hug, wash and scrub the elephants. no riding or any kind of abuse.the guide Busa was very knowledgeable and patient, and also had a great attitude to the kids. it is expensive, but what you get in return is definitely worth it, and your money goes to a good cause.!לא להחמיץ היינו יום שלם, משפחה עם 3 ילדים, 5,8,11 ויצא לנו להאכיל, לחבק, ולשטוף את הפילים בנהר.נוצרת ביום הזה קרבה מאוד משמעותית לפילים שלא יצא לנו לחוות בפעילויות אחרות עם חיות בטיול הזה או בטיולים קודמים .היינו יום שלם. יקר, אבל שווה את הכסף, וזה גם הולך למטרה טובה.
Wonderful! A truly moving learning and fun experience that it unforgettable.The whole team looking after these magnificent beasts were great. friendly, helpful and full of knowledge.The full contact, feeding, washing, sratching etc, and the walking along side the Elephants was one of the best things we have ever done.A definite OMG moment
This was an experience that was so extraordinary that you leave happy in the knowledge they no longer offer elephant rides, or use these beautiful animals in shows or for hard labor. We were picked up by Puza at our hotel and driven an hour to the park. Puza is one of the executive assistants and guides visiting groups of up to 12 through I can only explain as a day in the life of one of their elephants. Visiting the nursery to give morning treats of bananas, sugar cane and water to the mamas and their babies. Then off to a walk through the mountains with one of the elephants and their handler (Mahoot – each elephant is paired with a handler). After lunch we prepared a mixture of sticky rice protein balls before climbing into the man made lake to give one of the females and a five year old male (still a baby) their second bath of the day. By the way when you arrive you are given a comfortable top and stretch pants to wear throughout the day. Lockers and showers are available at days end to shower and change back into your clothes. You get so close and personal that you begin to understand the different personalities. And the babies so adorable as to make you smile everything you see them. I must be honest to say I didn’t know what to expect from this day that so far has been the highlight of our visit to Thailand.
This tour exceeded our expectation and will forever be seared in our hearts. We had an incredible tour guide who was able to converse with us in English. He also took all our photos, so we have a lot of memories from this tour. We learned so many facts about elephants and even got to see the water buffalos they’ve rescued. We got picked up, from our resort, around 8:45 AM and got to the sanctuary around 9:45 AM. We hydrated, put our stuff away into lockers, and then went to see the baby elephants! Each baby was with their mother, in separate areas. We were able to feed them and pet them above the fence! This is to prevent elephants from getting too friendly with humans and letting them still be independent. Then we got to roam with more mature elephants, feed them, swim with them, etc. We were fed delicious pad Thai and vegetable soup. Then we made medicine balls to feed the elephants nutritious meals — this is to prevent them from having constipation and give them necessary vitamins. We ended the tour with bathing the elephants. We scrubbed them clean and gave them so much love. This tour was an absolute dream and hope others enjoy this tour as much as we did.
This was one of the most magical things I’ve ever done. Spending so much time being with and taking care of these beautiful animals was a memory of a lifetime. Our guide Puza was fantastic. You could tell how much he cared about the animals and the work they were doing to take care of them. He also was a fabulous photographer and videographer!I can’t recommend this experience enough.
Great experience! Our boys 17, 15 and 13 years loved it too. We had competent explications and were perfectly introduced to the chang world! Thanks to the team!
