A big tick ! - This was on my wife’s lifetime bucket list - to bathe an elephant. This and other lovely experiences were achieved. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Unforgettable experience - Visiting an elephant sanctuary was one of my top priorities while in Thailand, and I’m so glad I chose this tour—it exceeded all my expectations. Being up close to elephants was a truly surreal experience, unlike anything you encounter every day. Each elephant had its own personality, and it was heartwarming to see the mutual respect between the elephants and their caretakers. The tour was packed with unique activities. We met and fed each elephant bananas, made paper out of elephant dung (surprisingly odourless!), prepared a vitamin mixture to feed them, and even covered the elephants in mud to help cool them down. The highlight for me was rinsing them off in the water. A key aspect that stood out was how the elephants were free to come and go as they pleased—if they decided they’d had enough, they simply walked away. After the activities, we enjoyed a meal that my friend said was “some of the best Thai food” they’d had on this trip. Unfortunately, I experienced a mild reaction to something I ate, but I was incredibly well looked after. The staff checked on me constantly and made sure I was comfortable before taking us back to our hotel. (A huge thank you for the care and attention!) Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Thailand. The chance to interact with these magnificent creatures in such a respectful and ethical environment is something I’ll cherish forever.

pretty complete experience - A full experience in an afternoon with 7 elephants who all seemed to enjoy our company as long as the food, mud and water bath lasted. It seems obvious that they are intelligent with senses of humor. The one who slapped me in the face with her muddy ear seemed pretty amused by it. I know I was.

Amazing - Something absolutely stunning, 😍 one of the best experiences you can imagine. Highly recommended for everyone

Excellent ethical elephant experience - Great experience! Would definitely recommend and do it again. We had so much fun interacting with the elephants at this ethical sanctuary. All of the staff were kind and welcoming. Lunch was great Thai food as well.

Fun for the Family - Professionally run Sanctuary and care for the elephants is excellent. It's a 30 minute from Central Pattaya. Prepare accordingly. Owner is very supportive, service oriented and understanding.

A beautiful afternoon together with the elephants - Very nice experience for the whole family. You can feed the animals, wash them and they also offer other activities such as making paper, textile dyeing. It was a very nice day for young and old. The animals were treated well and looked healthy. Except for the young elephants, the larger older elephants roamed freely around the domain. At the end of the tour you will be offered another meal. Something for everyone if you like Thai food. They also offered free tea, coffee, water and cookies. There's a photographer walking around taking pictures of the whole group. You will receive it via dropbox as an extra souvenir.

Elephants - I had such an amazing time. I love elephants and was super excited to feed and bath them. The staff was very kind and gentle with the elephants definitely a great experience I would do all over again :)

Exceeds expectations! - The staff are so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about their animals. It's such an incredible experience being so close to these majestic creatures and to see them so happy and well cared for. We did some tie-dye and paper making as well! Very cool, very memorable, hands down would recommend to anybody looking for an elephant sanctuary.

Fun tour, elephants are super ADD. - Probably bathing the elephants is the best part of the whole tour. Everything else was ok but mediocre since the elephants attention span is apparently 1.5 seconds, difficult to get any pics. Id you just love feeding and seeing elephants though then it's amazing.
