Tour started 40 minutes late. This was advertised as elephants, war cemetery and viewing the bridge. Only saw the war cemetery, guide did give us facts on the way there. He then dropped me off to meet another driver who took me to the elephant sanctuary as the tour guide went with the others on the railway tour. I arrived at elephant sanctuary 10am instead of 9am. On arrival to the elephant sanctuary I was given a private tour (due to missing the morning tour by arriving late) by Chang who was absolutely amazing. He gave me so much info on the elephants. Each elephant has their own caretaker and are well looked after. I fed the elephants, gave them a mud bath and cleaned the elephants in the river. Magical experience. The staff were amazing and accommodating looked after me. The elephants were soo cute defo recommend! Ticket prices are high as it goes to funding the sanctuary not sure how much % goes to them via get your guide. Took around 3.5hrs to get to Kanchanaburi but so worth it

FANTASTIC experience! It changes your life, a must for anyone coming to Thailand. Clean park and very kind, friendly and helpful staff. Experience suitable for everyone and I think everyone should try it at least once in their life. Clean elephants, they don't stink and are super peaceful. Only negative aspect? Once on the return trip you will miss your new friends dearly!

Perfect trip! If you’re looking to visit the elephants than please go here! They are treated very well and they live in such a huge space. The guides are super friendly and even the driver to the location was fun and had a lot of knowledge about typical Thailand things. Very organized.
