On Ko Chang, there are several elephant farms (camps) where you can ride elephants and interact with them. Here is practical information:

Where the elephant farms are located:

• Ban Camp Elephant Camp (on the map)
• Kaibae Meechai Elephant Camp (on the map)
• Baan Chang Thai Elephant Tracking (on the map)

All of them are located near the main road on the west coast of the island, easily accessible by transport.

How much does elephant riding cost:

Prices vary greatly depending on how you organize the visit.

• Independent visit (cheaper): If you come to the farm yourself (on a rented bike or taxi) and negotiate on the spot, the prices are approximately as follows:
  • Feed an elephant: 100 baht
  • Jungle trekking ride: 300 baht
  • Swimming with a baby elephant and photos: 400 baht
• Ready-made tour from a hotel or travel agency (more expensive, but with transfer): The cost starts from 1000 baht per person. This price usually includes transfer from the hotel, a program at the farm, and sometimes lunch.

How to get there: The easiest way is to buy a tour from one of the many street travel agencies or your hotel. If you want to save money, rent a motorbike and go independently—all farms are well-marked.
