Elephants are majestic - Very nice experience with the elephants and friendly guide. Alloted time was a good amount, didn't feel rushed. Waterfalls were pretty but not necessarily a show stopper. Provided lunch was great!

The best sanctuary in Thailand - The best experience ever and also very eco friendly to the elephants. We arrive and we’re received with coffee or tea. We fed the elephants with appropriate clothing that were given, we walk with the elephants and then we bathe them. Finishing the day with lunch.

We had an amazing time... - We had an amazing time throughout this whole half day tour. It was just me and my husband and the intimate setting felt great as we got nore 1 on 1 time with the 3 elephants. Getting to feed the elephants, watch them bathe in the river, and roam freely was incredibly exciting. To finish it off by getting a chance to relax by a waterfall was great. Lunch of Pad Thai at the end was excellent. Our tour guide Fluke was awesome, really knew his history, and gave great insight into the care that is put into taking care of these beautiful creatures. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to support this small family business.

amazing - I came here because it happened to be the filming location for Fujii Kaze's "Prema" music video.
There were no animal shows. The guide told us about the elephants' habits and how they weren't confined to man-made areas.
Here can experience preparing food for elephants, feeding them, and even bathing them (if the elephants are willing).It was truly amazing.

Seeing the elephants - Hi meeting the elephants was fantastic,feeding them was fun too, a short stroll with one of the elephants to the river watching it enjoy a cool down was amazing. The waterfall part even though it's a nice little waterfall seems irrelevant to the trip and in my opinion isn't required. The dinner afterwards would have been great if hot but cold pad Thai and fries was a let down to be honest.

Elephant Sanctionary - Very nice guide Koppi, who told us a lot about the elephants. Small resort with 3 elephants. Here, the animals are treated absolutely ethically.
Waterfall is a nice addition. Thanks for a great trip and unique experiences with the thick skins.
