I did a lot of research before I booked - as one of only three elephant parks in Thailand that pass ethical treatment standards, and the only one of those that is run by a local, I chose Baan Chang. I was a little apprehensive when we arrived and the Mahouts were carrying bull-hooks, but after spending the day, it... More

Such a unique experience and a must do if you are visiting Chiang Mai. Our guide was friendly and informative. The well being of the elephants is the top priority and they looked happy! Cant recommend this park enough.

I can't recommend this enough! Definitely the highlight of our trip so far. Importantly this is also a responsible, sustainable park where the welfare of the elephants is paramount. Educational, simply terrific fun and also very good value for money. The day begins with hotel pick up in an A/C minibus. The park is about 45 minutes out of Chiangmai.... More

We've spent an amazing day at Baan Chang Elephant Park. The guide and the mahouts were all friendly and very helpful. We have received the impression that the rescued elephants are very well looked after and that everyone is passioned about the project. Our 4 year old son liked the best bathing and splashing with the elephants.

this was an amazing day...it started out meeting the elephants and feeding them sugar cane and bananas. then we learnt how to get on and off, the commands to move forward, turn left and right, go and stop. then we had a delicious lunch prepared by the staff. following that we climbed onto our elephants and took a stroll thru...
