It was lovely to spend time watching the elephants. A highlight was making food for the elephants.

Chang Chill offers a respectful, most ethical approach where elephants roam freely in their natural environment. The staff is very knowledgeable which makes the experience more enjoyable. I Highly recommended for anyone who wants to support responsible tourism in Thailand.

Great tour for everyone who wants just the best for the Elephants. You will get to see the Elephants from close but safe distance to observe them while eating and in our case diving and swimming in a pool. There is no physical interaction in order the keep the elephants happy and stress free. Provided lunch was great, as well as the tour guide and the mahout who carried our 5 yr old daughter during the steep and slippery parts of the hike. In summary, great experience and really ethical tour!

Everything went smoothly. Lunch was delicious and it was great to get to see the elephants out in the forest.

If you’re looking for a genuine, ethical elephant sanctuary experience, BEES is the place to go! We spent 4 days and 3 nights here, and it was absolutely unforgettable. Everything was thoughtfully organised — from transport to and from Chiang Mai, to delicious home-cooked meals and comfortable accommodation.
The journey to the sanctuary was broken up with scenic stops at waterfalls and local sites, which made the drive even more enjoyable. During our stay, we made nutritious snacks for the elephants, hiked through the forest alongside them, and even helped harvest corn and banana trees for their feed.
What truly made the experience special was the warm, family-like atmosphere. We were welcomed with open arms and had so much fun in the evenings playing games, badminton, and singing songs together. It’s clear that BEES puts the wellbeing of the elephants first, and being a part of that mission was a privilege.
Highly recommend this sanctuary to anyone seeking a meaningful and respectful elephant encounter.

It was great to see the elephants in their natural environment. Our guide was friendly and helpful, explaining to us where the elephants came from and their relationship with their mahoots. Do note that the hike can be a little difficult at times, but the guide will help you, so no worries! The bamboo stick also helped loads! Overall, enjoyed our experience! :)

Oh my gosh what an incredible place 🥹
I spent 3 nights at BEES, and it was beyond anything I could have ever imagined. The experience is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life. The sanctuary really is a sanctuary. I had the most wholesome 4 days with some of the most beautiful people, we were welcomed into their community with open arms. The overwhelming feeling of love is something I don't think I have ever felt before.
The people, the dogs (& cats), the food, the community, and of course the three beautiful elephants, all of whom have been rescued. The whole experience was just out of this world 😭🥹
🥰
It was the perfect way to end my travels 💗💗💗

BOOK THIS TRIP! You will have the time of your life supporting a truly ethical sanctuary run by the most wonderful people you have ever met. From the second we were picked up we were treated with so much kindness and spoilt with a trip to an incredible waterfall and picnic lunch. The sanctuary itself is rural but beautiful, hidden among the trees beside the jungle. The staff are phenomenal - Ty was the best group leader ever, she made us smile every time we spoke to her. Ty facilitated the entire experience which included hikes to watch the elephants, observations of their return to the sanctuary at night, preparation of salads, cutting banana trees and more. Expect to get dirty as you immerse yourself in the jungle experience - but you won’t notice because you’ll be having so much fun getting to know the elephants. The evenings were also lovely, playing cards together and singing.
We were in a group of 4 which was perfect. The sleeping quarters are rudimentary but comfortable. The food, cooked by La, is outstanding! There were a lot of other surprises I won’t mention, but best of all was the chance to marvel at the elephants who have been given a safe retirement from hard labour and pain. The experience felt personal, as if we were welcomed into the family (the staff are all from the local village). Just book the trip and see for yourself - thank you BEES!
