By the end of the tour I grew to love the elephant and learned about them. The hosts taught us how to cook a traditional meal and had a great buffet style meal for us. Def a great experience

I’ve done this trip elsewhere previously in Thailand. This one was so much better! No more than 4 to each group so was very intimate and you got to spend quality time with the elephants. The elephants were well looked after and had a lot of forestry to roam - different to others in the area offering a “sanctuary”. The photographer also gave a great deal on personal photos that captures the moment. The staff also provided excellent info on the area and the elephants and also provided a free Thai cooking class
