More like a front for animal entertainment than a real conservation centre as the show ground where elephants are made to perform tricks is huge compared to the hospital, and the absolute lack of a natural environment where the elephants are free to roam and interact as they do in the wild. How is this education of elephant behaviour and... More

Elephants are my favorite animal and I was very fortunate to see and pat two baby elephants when I visited. I recommend this center to visit. More

I live in Lampang and frequently take first time visitors there. They all have a good time! More

We really enjoyed our 2 days learning how to become mahouts. Although we are 70 and 63 years old, we managed to experience everything, despite being a bit stiff and sore afterwards!!

We were told some things about elephants and then went... More

I'm writing this review after my fourth visit to the Thai Elephant Conservation Centre. I really don't know where to start with this review.
