Ban Chang Restaurant is a cozy establishment located within the Phuket Nature Elephant Reserve, where you can enjoy European and Thai cuisine before visiting the elephants.

The restaurant has playgrounds and trampolines on the territory. Paid workshops are available for children. Adults can enjoy yoga classes (Monday to Friday starting at 10:30 AM, and Saturday at 9:30 AM).

The elephant tours are charged separately. The elephant reserve offers various tour programs, such as the Short 90 min Elephant Adventure (prices without transfer: ฿1200 for adults, ฿600 for children). There is no exploitation of elephants here: you cannot ride, pet, or hand-feed them 👀💚🐘

As a souvenir of your visit, you can buy a toy elephant, paper made from recycled elephant dung (used to make photo albums and frames), clothing, and more.

Visiting this restaurant is a great opportunity to dine in a pleasant setting and book a tour to observe elephants in their natural habitat 🤍
