Passeios por Ran-Tong Save & Rescue Elephant Centre

I wholeheartedly recommend this Chiang Mai day trip! The entire experience was fantastic, and I must especially praise our guide, Mr. Poppy! Poppy's Chinese is fluent and authentic, making communication completely seamless. He has a witty and humorous personality, constantly sharing local customs and traditions along the way, and meticulously explaining a lot of elephant knowledge. You can tell he genuinely loves animals, and his explanations are vivid and heartfelt. The elephants are gentle and lively, and interacting with them up close is incredibly therapeutic. The feeding and walking processes were particularly healing and made the trip absolutely worthwhile. The afternoon visit to the Sticky Waterfalls was an even bigger surprise; climbing the unique limestone waterfall was so much fun, and playing in the water was super refreshing and stress-relieving. The pace of the full-day itinerary was perfectly arranged, not rushed, and just right. He also proactively helped everyone capture beautiful photos along the way, showing how thoughtful and reliable he is. The overall value for money is excellent. If you're coming to Chiang Mai and want to experience an elephant sanctuary + waterfall, I strongly recommend choosing Poppy as your guide. I'll definitely look for him again on my next visit to Chiang Mai!

I came during the low season and it was a pleasant surprise as I was the only person on the group tour. It was like a VIP tour as my driver/guide, Mr. Art, became my professional photographer. He is very professional at taking photos, lol. He shared that he learned it through past experiences with various customers. All the photos he took were lovely, and I appreciate them a lot. He is very accommodating and always attentive. I had ample time to explore both destinations. Thank you!

Pipi Tony is de beste! Ik vond het geweldig hoe hij een korte geschiedenis van Thailand en de plaatsen die we bezochten deelde. Hij ondersteunde zijn verhalen zelfs met foto's, waardoor we ze nog meer waardeerden. Hij was geduldig, leuk om mee om te gaan en leerde ons zelfs hoe we moesten afdingen op de markt. Hij raadde ook gerechten aan om te proberen die ons hielpen geld te besparen zonder de ervaring te missen. Ik kan deze tour echt aan iedereen aanbevelen!

Our female tour guide was excellent; not only did she clearly explain the key details in both English and Chinese, but the experience was so good that you would definitely want to come back if given the chance to go on a similar tour. Keep it up for her…🙏🏻🙂

Our tour guide, Miss Wan, is so knowledgable about the spots and so accommodating to all our questions and requests. Bus ride is comfortable with complimentary cold water bottles after a quick walk to the bus from our first stop. We depart a bit late since other joiners are not yet with us but we went back to the city on time. Overall, my mom and I enjoyed the join in tour. Highly recommended for a hassle free getaway from the city center ❤️ Tip: rent a golfcart to roam around the Ancient City on your own. You may get confused with the roads but def you’ll enjoy the ride while seeing different replicas of famous temples/statues around Thailand attractions on the way: 10/10 itinerary: 8/10 (its more of a layback tour so its not for everyone who likes more exciting activities) guide: 10/10 LOVE MISS WAAAN!!!

Our guide was truly great. Both he and the insurance guy were happy to take photos of us, which is excellent, especially for solo travelers like me. I was even left behind in Wat Arun and they already crossed the river to Wat Pho because they forgot to do a headcount. It was my fault anyway as I got too fixated with my phone lol. The only unfavorable comment I have is that the entrances for the temples are too expensive but everything else was great!

I selected the speedboat and for me it was a good choice - speedboats are smaller with smaller groups. A bit more choppy but no issues. The trip was organized well with pickups and drop-offs, decent dinner. Our guide was really good and clear about when we needed to come back to the boat. I found that stops were long enough - even though I could use a bit more snorkeling time (but that is personal preference). Overall, a very good experience.
