Had a great time spending time with the elephants and understanding them. Also, loved the Pad Thai they served during lunch. Perfect for solo travel.

absolutely amazing experience. The animals are simply stunning with their own characters and are incredible! I did the afternoon trip so upon arrival we all enjoyed lunch of pad Thai and watermelon which was delicious. we then got some info on the elephants at the sanctuary with the opportunity to feed them. Then you get to walk around and see them in the bush and then bathe with them which was a beautiful experience. our guide Jambo was brilliant … so knowledgable, enthusiastic and fun! would highly recommend this trip it is a bit of a drive from Bangkok but so worth it in my opinion.

The ride was longer than expected, taking about 2 to 3 hours from Bangkok. However, the activity experience was good. The conservationists introduced the elephants' habits and safety precautions in a humorous way, and I learned a lot about elephants. They also took pictures for us during the activity. After bathing with the elephants, there were places to change clothes and shower. Just be prepared that there will be more mosquitoes/midges since it's in the countryside.

Go on a trip to accompany 8 elephants. First, take pictures with the elephants, elephant explanation, feed the elephants, shower the elephants, and then lunchtime. If you like elephants, you can really come and participate.
