I am so glad that we chose this ethical sanctuary. Beautifully peaceful way to see the (happy) elephants. Our guide was informative and answered all of our questions. They keep the groups small and respect the elephants (sensing where to find them and when to move).

Kui was a lovely guide! We had a super fun day exploring the mountains and jungle. A really cool non-touristy experience. Would recommend!

Doi Suthep Hidden Trail + Coffee Village

We loved the respect for the elephants. You can see them in their element, even 2 elephants playing in the water together. The guide and the people there were very professional with a heart for the animals and super friendly. 
 The food was really nice.
 We would recommend this to anyone who wants to see elephants, but in a respectful way.

Guide was excited to share all aspects of the sanctuary with us, how the elephants got there, why there are 4, how they are cared for 24 hours a day by the same caretaker, their personalities, diet. We all prepared a sugar cane snack for these rescued elephants elephants and watched them eat it from less than 10 feet away. Special!

Kui took us on a great adventure around Doi Suthep and the Hmong Village. It was fun to explore the mountain without many tourists around. In the Hmong Village, we had a delicious lunch and really good coffee. Kui did a fantastic job leading us on the hike as well as educating us on Thai history and the Hmong experience in Thailand. Highly recommend if you're looking for something off the beaten path!

Our experience at Changchill was exceptional. We got amazing exposure to the elephants in their natural habitat, the lunch provided was delicious and authentic, and everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend a visit to changchill!
