Koh Chang Animal Foundation
You’ll probably notice fewer stray animals on Ko Chang compared to other places in Thailand. This is due to the efforts of the Koh Chang Animal Foundation, established in 2000 by American Lisa McAlonie. The foundation is funded entirely by donations, offers free-of-charge vet services to the people of Ko Chang, and provides refuge and treatment for stray animals around the island. Volunteer visits by travelling vets and veterinarian nurses are particularly appreciated, but the foundation also welcomes day visits from anyone who wants to donate a bit of TLC to help bathe and socialise abused animals.

Ban Kwan Chang Elephant Camp
Of several elephant camps on Ko Chang, the award-winning (2007 TAT eco-awards for community involvement) Ban Kwan Chang Elephant Camp, near Ban Khlong Son, is the best. In a beautiful setting the owner stresses the importance of seeing elephants in the wild, and he delivers informative and educational programs. A one-hour ‘experience’, involving feeding, bathing and an elephant ride, costs 900B; a 40-minute ride costs 500B.
