Elephant 101 – A Half-Day Immersive Tour with the Elephants We learned how to handle and care for these gentle mammals, including feeding them and understanding their history. The most enjoyable part was feeding them, and we even got to experience how to feed an elephant that wasn’t feeling well. We also bathed them and helped with a mud spa before washing them off. Indeed, it was such a wonderful experience.

It was a lot of fun! The staff members were very kind. I went on Saturday, March 7th, and everything was great. P'Mop took beautiful photos and was very dedicated to taking pictures for everyone without rushing. P'Haan took excellent care of us and even helped carry our bags.

My travel companion was seasick, so I asked the guide where I could get motion sickness medication, and they pulled some out of their pocket. I was surprised by their thoughtfulness. The snorkeling equipment was supposed to be included by the company, but they said it would be 100 baht, which was a bit unsettling. It seems it was a joke since they didn't end up charging me, but it almost ruined the moment. Everything else was great.

Luxurious boat. Helpful staff to make people to snorkeling who are not so confident. Good food. Only drawback is since the boat is big it cannot go near the shore so you don't get to get down at any of the beach side.
