Whilst there are no truly wild elephants on Koh Chang the numerous elephant trekking operations mean that they are a common sight on the island. They live in a jungle environment and feed on jungle plants so they are part of the island’s wildlife ecosystem whether wild or domesticated.
The Asian Elephant is an endangered species in the wild so the domesticated animals involved in Elephant Trekking are at least helping to ensure the cvontinued survival of the species.
