It was a wonderful experience to be able to get close to these beautiful creatures.The elephants are cared for lovingly in a safe environment and it is obvious how much they are loved by their carers. We were looked after by very professional staff and would recommend this tour to adults and children alike. Thank you.

The elephant sanctuary was an awesome family trip. We did the afternoon tour. We had a chance to feed and wash/play with the elephants. The staff were helpful with organising transport to/from the sanctuary.

This idyllic sanctuary set in the heart of a vast jungle that provides a natural and safe haven for rescued elephants who have spent their lives being abused. This is an ethical sanctuary that follows "saddle off model" which means they do not force these majestic and peaceful creatures into giving rides forcefully with hooks. We learned that one of the elephants suffered a devastating injury to her hip following a hook penetrating her pelvis, another suffered a huge scar to the front of her head where a hook was Stabbed into her skull, all in the name of Tourism... This is a heartfelt reminder that as tourists, we should avoid supporting activities like elephant rides or shows, as they often involve mistreatment of these gentle giants. Instead, visiting sanctuaries like this is a meaningful way to connect with and support rescued animals. Here, you can walk alongside the elephants, feed them, and even enjoy playful moments in the water with them, all with no riding involved at all and in THEIR habitat. Each elephant has a keeper who lives on Site with their elephant and allows us tourists to share this unforgettable experience all in tranquility and at peace. Currently the sanctuary has 4 elephants; 3 femals (Somkid born 1967, Thangtai 1978, Pang 1986 and the newest addition rescued 2024) and 1 male (Frank who is the baby at 10 years old!) They are currently saving money to rescue a pregnant female from the floating market.. so please remember the torture that these babies suffer and support the no riding and use of no hooks. We booked directly with the sanctuary and paid when we arrived, we highly recommended for animal lovers and families alike, the elephants are free to roam the site after the feeding/bathing - it was a very special moment and one we shared on our wedding day. We wouldn't have wanted to have been anywhere else! Hot food/water was provided as part of the ticket cost and drinks/tourists bits available for purchase. Showers also available post elephant bathing, don't forget your insect repellant but don't spray anything on your hands the elephant skin is sensitive. The guides also take all your photos free of charge which was unexpected - but please respect the elephants and treat them with care. Thanks to Miss A for making us feel so special and welcome, to Abba the lead keeper, to Takk our guide and too all the staff for giving us an experience of a lifetime, you are all beautiful people and we are proud to have supported a good cause.
