Absolutely trip of a lifetime, Annie our tour guide was fantastic she made our day magical, we started with learning about the elephants we had a walk in the jungle, feeding them throughout the day we had mud bath and swim with them, we also enjoyed a quick Thai cooking class and 2 lovely meals, we watched how they made the medicine and even how they dry the poop to make paper we had the best day

Very educational, actually get right up close and interactive with elelephants by feeding them, help by giving them a mud bath, and taking them for a swim and shower. Lovely lunch also included, which included a 15 minute cookery course. Fantastic excursion and great value for money, also helping a very very worthy cause, as the sanctuary receives no money from the Thai Government.

Great experience you should definitely go and interact with the elephants. The scenery is peaceful, you make their food and you feed them, then you put mud on them and on yourself -it is good for the skin! Lastly you bathe them in a pond . It is a once in a life time experience!

Brilliant trip guide showed loads of knowledge about the elephants so you learn plenty on the way. you can tell that they really care for the elephants and that they are well looked after.

It was great to do again in fine weather because the gardens without flowers are sad. And the castle my god it is magnificent.
