I would absolutely do this experience again. We had children ranging in age from 5 to 12 and they all agreed it was a favorite part of their trip to Thailand.
Fabulous experience. Bang and the team are great. Bang told us the story of how the sanctuary came together and it was very touching. The elephants roam the local village and it seems they have lots of freedom. We went to find 2 of the elephants, feed them, made them food, we in a mud bath with them, washed them and went in the pool with them. Snacks, fruit and drinks provided and the best fruit platter I've ever seen. Great photos are also emailed to you. Highly recommend!
Amazing experience!! The staff was very welcoming and truly care about the wellbeing of the elephants. They take professional photographs throughout the day and send them to you a few hours later so you don’t have to worry about taking them yourself.We learned so much about the elephants, what it entails to take care of them, how they are rescued, etc. Was truly a once in a lifetime experience and would highly recommend to anyone.
A truly special experience, 100% recommended!After Bang's moving story, our small group of visitors traveled by pickup truck a short distance into the jungle, where the three elephants currently living at the sanctuary resided.We discovered the graceful animals with a mixture of respect and excitement.Seeing them, walking alongside them, touching them, and feeding them filled us with awe, love, joy, and compassion.We were even allowed to bathe with them, and we could feel how much they enjoyed it.To round off this wonderful encounter, we were treated to delicious, homemade Thai snacks, such as banana cake and coconut water.Our visit not only provided an unforgettable experience, but our donation also supported a good and safe life for these elephants and helped raise awareness of the need to protect these animals.The stated schedule isn't entirely accurate, but that's not a problem.Everything is superbly organized and the grounds are beautiful!Thank you so much, Bang!
Bang, the guy who runs this place (in the picture) is the happiest man I've seen. He has a soul of an elephant and takes care of those creatures like his kids.
A fantastic experience. To be able to feed the elephants by hand, pat them, give them a mud bath, a shower and generally be so close to look into their eyes was just amazing! A very worthwhile endeavour from wonderful staff.
What a special and exciting experience.A face-to-face encounter with such an impressive and large animal.Bang and the team explain everything so well.. It is clear that they care about each and every elephant.They do a sacred work and all this is only possible thanks to the tourists who come to visit.All the people of the village are involved in the elephant rehabilitation activity - just this fact is exciting in itself.Come visit! Without hesitation at all!Charming people, elephants that look you in the eyes and create a connection, a fun and different experience ♥️
