cmtg1 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I was on the back roads of Faham yesterday and stumbled upon the elephant parade factory. just next to that was a larger wooded area all fenced in with a sign "welcome to the hidden village" Any idea what this is?

mamborobert Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Is it possible you are referring to Baan Kamlangchay. Has been there for ages and a world class facility for dementia sufferers, mostly German. I seem to recall it also being referred to as the Hidden Village (as it was a dementia village with a Thai village" There is a large grassed area with a pool and cabanas next to the admin type block and some fencing I imagine to provide a safe and non threatening, by way of sudden new faces or scenery change, environ for residents. Residents are housed in separate houses spread through the village. Would be a good OTOP type idea to be replicated. Of course could be widely off mark and your village may be a different beast.

No, This is new construction. I couldn't get in as was walled and locked but it appears to be for children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trujillo Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 So the, "Elephant parade factory," is either a place for children or demented Germans. Do tell me more.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBrad Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I believe that this is the area that is referred to. I've been wondering, too, what it's about. https://goo.gl/maps/R5aYpKWc21v The Elephant Parade which used to be in ChiangMaiLand is located here, or at least their factory is. Perhaps they have a retail store in town elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outbuildings, paths, giant insect sculptures, water features then i got kicked out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
