The sanctuary really opened all of our eyes. They bring in Elephants that need care and recuperation. This isn't where you ride or swim with the elephants. Here they are cared for after being rescued from earlier 'domestication' and abuse. After an introductory video that shows how many domesticated/tourist elephants are poorly treated and how this sanctuary was created to care for them, you get to feed an elephant, then walk amongst them as they roam freely in the wilds of the sanctuary. A guide carefully walks you around, talking about the history of each. Then the high walkway gives you an overview of the park before a lovely lunch. We found ourselves very well informed and our eyes are so much more open. Recommended.

Knowledge of how the elephants came to be there and their new living conditions. Elephants are treated humanely and the handlers and staff educated us on them.

The tour was very well organised, with informative guides and a very good educational video about the elephants. It was clear that they are now well cared-for, and so were we! I have trouble walking for any distance, and the Sanctuary staff were brilliant - there was a buggy available to drive me when the walking became difficult, and our guide was most solicitous of my situation. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, and it was wonderful to see the elephants enjoying their retirement.

It was wonderful to see elephants in their natural environment living a life they were meant to have. Thank PES for showing the humanity that can occur towards these gentle giants.

I did this tour with my 4-year-old daughter, and she loved it. Very well-organized tour from the pick-up to drop-off, by an ethical tour organizer. The premises are in great condition and clearly well-maintained. Snacks and drinks are fantastic. The guide was happy to answer all our questions. My daughter loved the canopy walkway. You will also make a couple of stops during which it is possible to observe the elephants very close up. I can warmly recommed this tour to everyone.

It really is the only ethical elephant sanctuary in Thailand, where you don't get to ride or bath with the elephants, but you get very close to them, in their natural habitat and you also get to feed them. All the elephants were rescued from other ,,sanctuaries" or circus and you can see how many scars they got. They are taking very good care of elephants and they make everything for the people to have a good time with them. They made a big step in helping the animals and it's up to us to continue, by not incouraging animal riding, circus and not even bathing just for fun. Big thanks to elephant sanctuary!

A thoroughly enjoyable and educational visit. The sanctuary showcases the abuse that these majestic animals endure and how a different form of tourism can provide a safe haven for them. I would thoroughly recommend this tour. The staff showed a real passion for their work and love of the animals under their care.

Visiting the sanctuary was very rewarding and fun. The staff is excellent and goes above and beyond in making sure that you have everything that you need. There were refreshments and food served. Everyone was extremely nice and the elephants!!!! Well you could tell they were loved and happy. We enjoyed meeting all of them and feeding them. It was highlight of my trip learning about what this sanctuary does for the animals.
