Unforgettable Elephant Sanctuary Experience! 🐘✨ - Absolutely incredible from start to finish! Our driver was prompt and super friendly—pickup was quick and smooth, and we were off to one of the best experiences of our lives. The sanctuary itself is a peaceful, beautiful haven. We had one-on-one time with the elephants, which made the entire visit feel so personal and special. Feeding them, walking with them, and learning their stories was heartwarming and unforgettable. The meal provided was delicious and authentic—you could tell it was made with love. Everything about the day radiated happiness and genuine care for the elephants. The staff clearly loves what they do, and it shows in every detail. If you’re looking for something fun, meaningful, and truly unique, this is it. We left with full hearts and huge smiles. HIGHLY recommend! 🌿💚🐘

One of the best experiences - One of the most amazing experiences. The staff were absolutely brilliant. We got collected from the hotel, and brought out to the sanctuary. We were greeted by the friendliest of staff. While we waited for our guide we sat down and relaxed I front of the watering holes and spoke with one of the staff. We were greeted with our guide You ( I'm not too sure how his name is spelt, sorry). We then went on to make our own Thai salad, followed by an amazing lunch. Then we got to cut up sugar cane for the elephants which we got to feed and get up close with them. We walked with them into the forest and managed to feed them grass and spend some time with them. Next was the best for me when we got to get in the water with them and got to brush them clean, they looked so happy and it seemed like the elephant I was brushing seemed to be falling asleep. When it was over we were brought back to our hotel. The whole tour was amazing and the staff are so proud of the elephants and the work they do. Really is so worth every cent.

Must do! - Being able to learn about the elephants and engage with them in so closely within a sanctuary devoted to being ethical was magical. Staff was very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and took great photos of our time there. Participating in the cooking lesson and the meal was also top notch! Highly recommend.
