Ran-Tong Save & Rescue Elephant Centre

Excellent Day with Asian ElephantsWe had a incredible experience with the elephants and staff last week. When you visit Thailand you have many choices and experiences to make your trip special but this particular Elephant Park is something I will not ever forget. They handle the elephants with great care and the way the animals interacted with us is an indication of how well they are treated here. Thank you to the staff and trainers! We will not forget you!

Rantong Elephant Reserve is internationalized. Many tour guides are Europeans and Americans. The protection center facilities provide clothing, showers and meals, which are all part of the experience. There are about ten elephants scattered in the forest in the center. Tourists can contact elephants at zero distance.

Ran-Tong Elephant Conservation Center is different from other places to ride elephants. You can learn more about elephants here. Their spines are very fragile. Try not to ride elephants. Although the elephants look awkward, they are also very naughty. It'll spray water on you.

A half-day set meal for baby elephants was booked on the poor tour. At 8:00, there was a car waiting at the entrance of the hotel. It arrived at the protection center in about 50 minutes. The English tour guide introduced us to the whole day's experience arrangement, changed the clothes provided by the center, and walked for 5 minutes. We saw the super lovely elephants. We helped the elephants prepare food, feed, and relatives, bathe the elephants, make spa, and it was super interesting.

TOURIST DISASTER: One of their elephants, June 2023, unsupervised, attacked me and I nearly died. Nine weeks in a coma and multiple surgeries. They claim zero liability, did not cooperate with authorities, had no emergency plan, and their insurance certificate was fraudulent.

Ran Tong is a public welfare organization that specializes in saving elephants at risk. There is a very good experience here, learning elephant language here, preparing meals (cut small sugar cane), walking with the elephants, and helping them do spa baths. The staff's arrangement service is also very good, the event is over and Chiang Mai noodles and fruit are eaten. Those activities such as riding elephants to watch elephant performances are really cruel to elephants.

This day trip to the Elephant House is the happiest trip to Chiang Mai this time. The old and young who accompanied me had a great time. The elephant here is really naked. Very original! Riding the mountain and bathing the elephant. It was a very special experience.
