Baanchang Elephant Park

Another highlight of our trip! Fabulous guide. Started with educating Us about these magnificent animals. The history of their life and how they came to spend the remainder of their lives in this wonderful park. Respected and cared for, we observed how the Mahoot (an assigned care taker for each elephant) treated their elephant as if it were their child. We spent the day caring for these elephants as well. Fed them, walked and played with them, prepared sticky rice balls that contained vitamin rich food and fed them. Had a delicious lunch and walked them down to the water. The younger people in our group of eight got in the water and bathed and brushed them. Such expression in their eyes. Loved every second of it!!! Thank you Baanchang for all you do!!Read more
