It was great! We got picked up from the hotel. Everyone was so nice, funny and accommodating. It’s heartbreaking to read the background stories of some of the elephants but so heartwarming to see how close they are to their caretaker. I highly recommend it. Bring your swimwear or extra clothes. You’ll be in the pool with the elephants.

      The elephant sanctuary was wonderful. It was the ride there and back we had a van full of people and the air conditioning did not work. When the drive is 2 hrs you need to fix the air in the van.

      Such a beautiful experience, you must do it. And pack swimmers. You get to swim with the elephants. Loved it

      Exceptional, respectful, beautiful place to visit 🤩❤️

      Justyna_C, Jul 2026
      From the pick up until drop off I was positively surprised by every detail. The place is wonderful clean and spacious. The elephants live there happily and freely in nature surrounded by people who care and love them. They are treated with kindness and respect. No cages, no chains. Great fun for solo travelers, families, bigger groups. Each activity was long enough to experience the elephants and the place at its best. Highly recommend!!! 🤩

      An amazing experience to get up close and personal with 12+ elephants varying in age from babies to over 60 years old. The staff are very knowledgable about each elephant and their story of how they have been rescued and rehabilitated.

      Day with Elephants

      Stephen_L, Jun 2026
      Great day spent with the Elephants, interactive . Great informative guides, basic lunch included . Only negative, was the drive to the Park. Driver did not speak English and the transportation Van used, needed shocks....very uncomfortable drive out to the Park.

      Had a great time at the sanctuary. The guides were amazing and well informed. We did a thai inhaler workshop and then moved onto feeding the elephants, watching them take a mud bath while walking down a path with them. We also saw where they sleep and helped bathe them! Wonderful experience!

      Leeanne_P, May 2026
      I absolutely loved this experience. We got to learn a lot about each elephants history, how they maintain the animals and the sanctuary and their future goals of rescuing more elephants. Also the guys Nathan and b.e. we're incredibly fun and also hilarious which made the whole experience even better

      This trip was amazing worth every penny The staff the facilities the food everything 5 star 🌟 The Elephants were a joy so well looked after and not force to perform

      Lovely way to see Elephants

      susan_b, Mar 2026
      Whilst a lovely experience, the maximum nuber of 20 was exceeded, felt nearer 35. Very knowledgeable guides and nice to see elephants enjoying mud baths, food and water. The lunch was nice and even catered for special diets. We have experienced a sanctuary in Koh Samui, (which we prefered). Thank you for a nice morning

      Wonderful place to meet elephant friends up close

      Jesus_A, Apr 2026
      We spent a great day at Bangkok's elegant sanctuary. They do a great job of caring for and protecting elephants. The activities are fun and allow you to have a good time with these beautiful animals in their environment.
