点评:This was one of the most meaningful and beautiful experiences of our trip to Thailand, and we recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone traveling with children or simply looking for an ethical, authentic encounter with elephants.

We visited in April and were advised to choose a private tour as we were traveling with three children. It turned out to be the perfect choice. The day started with a comfortable hotel pickup in Chiang Mai, followed by about 1.5 hours’ drive through the countryside until we reached the village.
From the very first moment, we felt genuinely welcomed. The experience began by feeding the elephants, not as a performance, but as a gentle and respectful way to create a first connection with these incredible animals. Throughout the entire day, the staff shared stories, knowledge, and insights about the elephants’ lives, their personalities, and the deep bond they have with the local community.
We spent the day feeding, washing, and caring for the elephants, always in a way that clearly put their well-being first. Everything that happens here is done with extraordinary respect for the animals, who are truly treated as members of the village, not as attractions.
The warmth and kindness of everyone involved made the experience even more special, and our children were engaged, comfortable, and fascinated the entire time. The lunch was delicious, freshly prepared, and another lovely moment to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.
Overall, this was a fantastic, enriching, and deeply moving experience. Ethical, educational, and full of heart. We would recommend it without hesitation to families and travelers of all kinds.

我们四月份去的,因为带着三个孩子,所以被建议选择私人行程。事实证明,这是一个完美的选择。行程从清迈的酒店接送开始,之后驱车约一个半小时穿过乡村,到达了大象村。
从踏入村庄的那一刻起,我们就感受到了真诚的欢迎。体验从喂食大象开始,但并非为了表演,而是为了以一种温和而尊重的方式与这些神奇的动物建立最初的联系。一整天,工作人员都与我们分享了关于大象的生活、它们的性格以及它们与当地社区之间深厚情谊的故事、知识和见解。
我们花了一整天的时间喂食、清洗和照顾大象,始终将它们的福祉放在首位。这里的一切都体现了对动物的非凡尊重,它们被真正视为村庄的一份子,而非仅仅是景点。
所有参与者的热情和友善让这次体验更加特别,孩子们全程都兴致勃勃、舒适自在,并且兴致盎然。午餐美味可口,新鲜烹制,让我们得以放松身心,享受这美好的氛围。
总而言之,这是一次精彩绝伦、意义非凡、令人感动不已的体验。它不仅符合伦理道德,更兼具教育意义和人文关怀。我们毫不犹豫地向所有家庭和旅行者推荐这里。
