Fantastic Tour and Great Guide!! - Limmy is great in one word. Elephant reserve 1 of the highlights Thailand. He can give the tour himself, is very committed and involved and it is nice that you have a private Guide and tour .. this is worth the money. He is very competent and speaks good English. Definitely do!!! We went out with Limmy all day because he is such a pleasant Guide!

Thailand at its best - Went to the elephants in the morning. We got clothes and boots from them (that was also necessary 😀). What a great experience to feed these beautiful animals, 2 went swimming, so we could even wash them. Limmy talks so passionately about the animals. Then we go to an impressive temple complex and eat at a local tent. That was so good. This is how you hope Thailand is. To end the day we climbed the “sticky” waterfall. Nice varied day with a very friendly guide, I would recommend everyone to go out with Limmy for a day.

Unforgettable day! - We spent a wonderful day with Limmy. We ended the day at the elephant sanctuary. It was a magical and intense moment, away from the big organized groups. I recommend Limmy 200%

Fantastic day - We had a fantastic day. Guide is friendly, speaks good English and tells a lot. Picked up at 8.00 and drove to Wat Ban Den temple. We were just about the first visitors. Beautiful and colorful temple complex. Seen many temples in Thailand, but I really thought this one was worth it. Nice view too. Then to the sticky waterfalls. Super nice to walk up the falls. Then to the elephant sanctuary Ran Tong. Guide comes there often and knows the people and the elephants. That's very nice. Changed and boots on, because the terrain is very muddy. Clothes can be borrowed. First we had a delicious Thai lunch, pad Thai, and a plate of fruit. It's nice to see the elephants just walking around the grounds. After lunch it's time for some info about the elephants. Since those animals eat almost all day, we were welcome guests. They let us feed them. Unbelievable what imposing beasts. Then bathed. Then we could wash the mud off us in the shower and back on house. We look back on a great day. Thank you.

Put this on your itinerary - This was one of the best tours we have ever been to! We were lucky and were the only ones that booked for that day with our guide, so we had a great time chatting with him all day. Phonthakorn is very nice and accommodating, even included an additional activity, and he was able to answer any questions we had. As for the activities included - the elephant sanctuary is very nice and seems aimed at helping and keeping the animals in an ethical way, Wat Bamden temple is very impressive, the Buddha cave we visited extra was incredible (though beware the stairs are steep) and sticky waterfalls were one of the most fun activities we had so far. We highly recommend this to everyone! By: Špela and Tina from Slovenia
