In addition to the elephant camps, the Koh Chang area offers one more option for kids to see animals up close – the dolphins show at Oasis Sea World.
Hosted in a large outdoor arena over on the mainland at Laem Sing near Chantaburi, the professional show is true to form for this kind of thing, with handlers encouraging the Irrawaddy and the pink humpbacked dolphins to perform various tricks and cute anthropomorphic stunts alongside displays of speed, splash and spectacle.
After the show, for an additional payment, you can then swim with the mammals, an undoubtedly unique experience for both kids and adults alike. As to whether or not you should be doing it, that is a question for each individual.
Transfer to and from your Koh Chang resort is included as part of the package. If travelling back to Bangkok with a private transfer, it can be scheduled as an additional paid stop.
