I had researched which camp to go to as it was important to us how they treated the elephants. We went with a 5 and a 10 year old and had an amazing experience. We bathed and washed the elephants and then went on a trek which took my 10 year old some getting used to as it could be... More

It was a fantastic new experience ride on the backs of these huge animals trough the jungle. The elephants are so unbelievable soft, tame and careful and they are in a really natural surroundings. Our friendly guide let me on his space behind the ears and took the photos. It's a really worthwhile trip. More

Went on a two hour trip in the Ban Kwan Chang camp. Lots of elephants in a jungle location. Our guides were friendly and funny, and took an unlimited amount of pictures using our own camera. Excellent value, and the elephants seemed to be very well looked after. More

UH, it was a bit scary - high over the ground in a strange kind of couch wagging from side to side... but you have to try this. The mahood was kind and he treated his elephant very well. Remember to bring good tips for the mahoo - he will do everything to make you and the elephant fell good... More

I use to live on Koh Chang so I'm pretty passionate when I say that if you are going to go ride elephants while you're on the island, this is the only outfitter to use. Many of the hotels have relationships with other groups on the island but you'll find that those groups often are located right next to the... More

We chose the bathing and trekking option for 900 THB, and enjoyed the experience. Being on a tight budget, we choose our excursions wisely and are glad we opted for this. We were collected from our accommodations on Lonely Beach at 8.25am and transported to the camp about 30 mins drive on the north side of the island near where... More
