The Boy Band loves ‘Poppy’ music - Mr Poppy, Addison and the team are fantastic. So much fun and personality in this excursion! We added the rafting after and Johnny looked after us! A great half day of fun with Elephants! Our group of four were given the title of ‘the boy band’. Mr Poppy created a great atmosphere with good banter

Half day experience - Chippy and Meenie were the best guides! Very organized and informative. We did 5 short activities with the elephants. Best to wear water shoes or bring a pair of flip flops. Dont need a bathing suit but wear clothes you can get wet. We decided not to do rafting because we thought we’d get back early but that’s not the case. We waited for the rafters and drove back together.

Very nice - I was a little afraid at first about the well-being of elephants. You can certainly touch them, but everything is framed. Afterwards, it’s definitely made for tourism. For example, to take pictures with elephants and not move too much, guides place sugar cane on the ground for them to eat in the meantime. Otherwise the activities were very nice. Food preparation, and small moment 10 min to water the elephants in the river, and rub them for those who desire it. Also, the scenery is beautiful, we are lost in the middle of the jungle

Amazing elephant sanctuary and brilliant guides - Adam and Poppy were amazing guides. This was such an interactive day with hands on experience with the elephants and so much information was provided. This has been the best trip I have done in Thailand. The sanctuary had toilets as well and we were taken for a Buffet vegetarian lunch after of pad Thai, vegetables, chips and melon with coffee and water provided. I would 10/10 recommend and do again
