Hi yosi, I just popped by the resort for a quick look when I was in Chiang Rai and had a show around. Not sure where the Elephant Polo's pitch is but if it is near Anantara (I heard that they are hosting the event) then it should be roughly 45 minutes away by car.
Pretty easy to get around by car I would say as road conditions are good around the area though you will need to figure out how to find your way to the resort as it is pretty well hidden. Saw some road signage along the way so that should help you.
As for kid friendly, it should be decent as it has a kid's club or penguin club if I remember the name correctly that can occupy their time with DVDs and Playstation consoles. Nice pool area and 24 hours gym with some daily activities and I particularly loved the deck chairs by the river.
Will definitely try to resort when I am in Chiang Rai next but it certainly looks worth staying from my brief show-around. Tell me about your stay when you get back.
