The best selling point of Chang Chill has to be the proximity to Chiang Mai (only a 1.5 hour drive).
1 Day Chang Chill Tour - bit.ly/3NEwFYd
There is no riding, no touching and no feeding here - this is the best way to experience the elephants because they are living their full and natural life without being pestered by tourists all day!
Make sure that you check out the other four videos in this series about ethical elephant sanctuaries in Chiang Mai - we visited the four supported by World Animal Protection, and they are doing some incredible work to protect the lives of Thailand’s elephants.

The elephants get most of their food from foraging in the surrounding forest but they make them these food balls to help maintain their health

Cheers! We did the full day tour. It's certainly close enough to do a half day but I always think they seem a bit rushed. Full day all the way!
Hey guys I really appreciate your videos. I want to visit a truely ethical sanctuary. I can’t walk really long distances though, about 45mins to an hour tops. (I have planta fasciitis in my foot). Would this one be suitable for me do you think? The other one I’m thinking about is Elephant Nature Park, they have a golf buggy I could use, but I love the idea of seeing elephants in their natural environment. Which sanctuary would you recommend for me? Thanks 🙏

Hi Mathew, we would have to recommend Elephant Nature Park above the others. The other 3 all have substantial walks with climbs and rough tracks for longer than 45 minutes. Chang Chill would be close to 45 minutes but it totally depends on where the elephants are that day and, if they are far away, this could be a problem. At ENP you're guaranteed to not have to walk far and it's a very good place to go. I do understand what you mean about seeing them in the wild though, I just think it might be a risk.
