Chiang Mai Elephant Friends Reviews

Brought two boys for holiday and joined the one day activities with elephant. Done the rafting, elephant bathing and jungle walk in the morning, then lunch at the waterfall. We swam there and left at 2pm. Room was available by then. There were some small insects in the room but it was acceptable. The balcony was good and relaxing. We had dinner at the only restaurant and the taste was good. Will recommend others to join this special camp.

If you are looking for a rustic adventure, then this is for you. The cabin was basic and had a wetroom, however the view was gorgeous. A peaceful and soul soothing environment. There are many activities offered, we opted for the elephant wake up call, the bamboo rafting and the ride up to the old temple. Breakfast is included. The Tawan restaurant makes phenomenal Khao Soi, I'd recommend going there for lunch. The staff we absolutely fantastic! They are so friendly, helpful and genuine! I would definitely recommend this as a rustic getaway adventure!

Had an amazing experience visiting elephant friends, we had a wake up call, went bamboo rafting and walked n bathed with the elephants. Would recommend

Good experience with my family. All staff are nice, relaxing environments and the food was delicious. Will come again!

For the special experience, it is worthy to take a hour car-driving. Elephant morning call is special moment and more than our imagination. Moreover all the service staffs are nice and sweet to do more than we expect. Nice place! Strongly recommend !

Had an amazing 2 night stay. Highly recommend all the activities provided. The elephants are well looked after and the time spent with the elephants is invaluable!!

A beautiful lodge hotel in the mountains of Mae Win. The staff is very helpful and super nice. They have 11 elephants and a cute baby elephant born in 2021 and many other animals in the territory. You can order wake up call by elephant and do many activities during the day for an extra charge. After visiting a couple other sanctuaries I believe this place is ethical and staff really loves their animals. The rooms are simple but clean.

A very good choice for families and children. You can interact with elephants, take a bath, take a walk, and have breakfast wake-up service. Elephants can be seen everywhere in the hotel. It is a very good experience

The resort environment is excellent, friendly staff, room hygiene is quite good. Restaurant food has room for improvement, worth mentioning is the elephant wake-up service is highly recommended, overall this trip is very unforgettable.

There are many small animals such as mosquitoes and geckos on the mountain, which is inevitable when living in the mountains. If you don't mind, you can stay here with confidence. The experience of close contact with elephants is very good, and both children and adults have a lot of fun.

It’s really a rare experience. The meal was so delicious that I didn’t expect it. The day we checked in happened to be my husband’s birthday. Unexpectedly, they also decorated the room, which gave us a great surprise. Then the elephant morning call experience was unforgettable I also met the staff who are very good at taking photos.

The room is too small and the location is too far away. The toiletries in the room are not clean. We can only make do with it to feed the elephants. One night is enough. It would be a torture to stay longer. The room is very humid. It is just like a small hotel.

The air is fresh, the environment is natural, and there is moderate reclamation and management suitable for human habitation. Because elephants eat whatever they want, so will dogs. So mosquitoes and the smell of fertilizer are everywhere. Very unsuitable for people with mysophobia. The room is a traditional log cabin with relatively simple facilities and cleanliness. However, there will be a bit of rust when you take off your shoes. It is recommended to prepare slippers or tidy up the room before walking barefoot like I did. This place is designed to be close to nature. , so please think about what you want first. There is breakfast with many choices, which is pretty good, similar to an all-you-can-eat buffet. Lunch and dinner are affordable and affordable. It is also recommended to enjoy it here. If you want a star-rated hotel to be clean, You may be disappointed with the service and treatment, and it's definitely not the place for you. If you like excitement, If you want to experience all kinds of exciting activities in the mountains and sea, there are none here. It is suitable for the elderly to look at the mountains, take a stroll, and relax. Take your children hiking and playing, Family travel. Suitable for people who like to get close to nature, Especially suitable for families with children. Outing with the family. 11 people in total. It is a place where elephants retire and retire. However, there are still cases where rangers ride elephants and yell at them. This situation is understandable. After all, I saw the different looks of elephants, being naughty and running around, If many tourists book an activity, If we let the elephants run free, we may not be able to carry out any activities. You may only be able to pick up one game a day. It is especially recommended for families to participate in the elephant activity "elephant care" Ham walked, fed, bathed, and took photos with the elephants. During the elephant stroll, the baby elephant will run around and act coquettishly. Then find mother elephant to drink milk, At this moment, you will feel that everything has spirit. We should respect all life as much as possible. When I saw elephants, they were actually very lively and naughty. The human side, I feel like the elephants here are full of energy, It has its own emotions, which is very interesting. Even elephants are willing to give birth to 7 here. Elephants stroll, bathe, feed, etc., It is an elephant school that provides professional training for tourists. Although the whole thing is inevitably unconventional and commercial, It seems to say that everyone has to go to work, and the elephants have to earn their own rations. But it is still a very rare experience in this short life. Recommended for families to participate in the bamboo rafting activity. The boatman paddles for about half an hour. I think if I were the boatman, my hands would be broken after one stroke. It is very hard. Because I am also very pitiful, I give a meager tip of 100. When the bamboo raft moves, the buttocks will get completely wet, full of a small sense of excitement. The boatman keeps looking back and smiling. It feels a bit pitiful for his situation. After all, different people have different fates, but he is also very strong. I can only express my impression of the boatman. profound. Maybe they envy us. I also hope that in their situation, I can have the spirit to move forward bravely, face the reality with a smile, and learn a lot of life inspiration.

Close contact with elephants...a great experience, the kids were super happy. The accommodation is comfortable and clean. Airport pick-up and drop-off services are provided (additional charges apply) so you don’t have to worry about transportation problems. Highly recommended for family vacation.
