great, cheaper via app, $10 for adults, 500 baht on site. Not a big park but you can see it, kids should like it.

The best last minute decision that my husband and I made on the trip. The catamaran was super luxurious. They offer refreshments, dinner and even beach chairs on the beach. The sunset later was just the cherry on the top!

I chose this one after comparing several, and it's okay. The actual designated time is only about 50 minutes. But it was fun because they took me to a spot with lots of fish. The guide was kind and fun. He spoke English well enough to be heard, but he spoke Chinese well to Chinese people, which was surprising.

Leo and the team were great. a really well ordered day with some incredible beaches to swim at and snorkel in. A great option for a film with teens/tweens.

it was a pleasant experience and getting to ride the ATV around the mountain and forested areas! the views at the top were definitely breathtaking and amazing! super glad that we were able to get a “private” session with the guide who brought us around as they were no one else who booked the time slot! would definitely recommend to anyone as it is worth the money 🙏🏽⚡️

A new but ethical home for these aged elephants. The owner-manager has extensive knowledge and his heart on the right place, prioritizing animal welfare more than profit. It was a joy to witness the elephants frolicking carefree in their habitat. The majestic giants, follow their mahouts prodding with nary a stick or a whip on hand.. just gentle coaxing, their trust in them apparent on the get-go. A refreshing sight to behold, we wish them (owner and mahouts alike) immense blessings for them to continue running this sanctuary for animals. For future visitors, if you could spare some extra baht, please donate to their cause. 🙏
