Living Green Elephant Sanctuary Tour from Bangkok and Pattaya

Richard_E, Aug 2026

Want to explore the jungles of Thailand and visit peaceful, rescued elephants in their own home?

This was an incredible experience! Imagine being wisked to the jungle and seeing elephants in their own peaceful sanctuary! Upon departing the tour van, you are cheerfully greeted by staff who introduce you to each elephant by name and share a bit about each elephant’s history and personality! You will be taught how to safely and kindly interact with these amazing creatures. Next, you will feed them mini bananas and sugarcane, followed by a walk in their sanctuary to meet the other elephants who are eating and playing with grass. Some knock coconuts out of the trees for an extra special treat. After that, join them in the shallow watering hole for some gentle water play. A delicious lunch is prepared by locals. What could be better! Your tour cost and visit helps keep the sanctuary going! Worth a journey outside the busy city of Bangkok!

Bangkok Private Highlights Tour with Local Guide

Missy_M, Aug 2026

Great day in Bangkok!

Choochai was so great! He met us at our hotel and planned the day out with my input. We went to the Grand Palace and other temples, a fantastic long tail boat ride, a great lunch place he recommended, and an air conditioned boat ride up the river at the end of the day, ending at the SkyBar. We loved how he handled the rides, tuk tuks, tickets, and navigation. When my kids were tired of temples, he took us to a fun, young neighborhood to feel a different vibe. We had a great, yes tiring, but unforgettable day!

Ayutthaya Temples Tour from Bangkok with Lunch

Michelle_B, Aug 2026

Definitely worth going on.

This is an informative and enjoyable tour. What a unique experience, being able to view antiquities in the comfort of a well- organised and knowledgeable host and her team. My only suggestion would be to do a little research prior to the trip: what to bring, wear, how far the pick up place is from your accommodation. I was staying quite a distance from the pick- up point; however the entire team ensured I was looked after. I appreciated their kindness.

The Floating Market and More

Ever since I saw pictures and videos of the floating market, I wanted to experience myself. This experience did not disappoint in the least. Not only did we go to the floating market, we also went to the train market and saw salt flats where salt is produced and exported from Thailand abroad. Our guide Tum Tum was very funny and energetic which made for a good journey overall.

Coco is great at taking pictures and making sure you have memories from the tour! Just be warned it's hot! Bring lots of water (in July) but nothing about the tour, just the way it is. I think they tried to give us cooled places (and the bus was nicely ACd) just be prepared. Bring a water bottle.

We had a very good time learning local Thai culture and cuisines. The foods we eat and places we visited were authentically Thai, exactly what we were looking for. Our tour guides were Annie (who was very informative) and Koi they did a great job and we were the only customers on that tour so our tour was private LOL.

Tour Guide Angie - Ayutthaya temple, Maeklong railway market, Damnoen Saduak floating market

My tour guide for this experience was Angie. She was absolutely amazing. Even though, TripGuru was sending me information regarding the transport for the morning of the tour, Angie took it upon herself to inform all 9 of us as well (I travelled solo, but there were a total of 9 of us in the group). A very knowledgeable guide, I loved the fact that she had made written notes of the facts that she shared with us. Very accommodating, and caring. She paid a little extra attention to me as I was the only one in the group travelling solo, and I was grateful for that. She also took lovely pictures of us! She takes her job seriously, absolutely loves it and that came through in the 10 hours we spent with her!
