The guide, the experience was worth it. Be aware that they have locations in Phuket, Chang Mai, and others, including Pattaya. So if you have plans to go to those places, it would be cheaper and I heard that Chang Mai is the largest one. However I don’t regret spending money and meeting 6 elephants. Was a lot of fun and I’m glad that there is community who takes care of them

It is a long drive to and from Bangkok but well worth the effort. The guides take the time for a safety induction and provide a carry bag for your water bottle. The elephants are obviously cared for and loved, and this sanctuary deserves support.

The staff were incredibly helpful on the subject and treated the elephants with great respect. Treated them like their own children.

It was a lovely trip. Everyone was gentle and the animals in the sanctuary are treated respectfully.

Great Experience. Loved feeding the elephants and learning more about them.
