A really beautiful space for the elephants, you can tell they are so happy. We went for a nice walk in the forest and watched them play in the mud before helping them shower. The guide Yob was really informative and kind along with the whole care taker team.

I thought this was following giants sanctuary, but it is a different one. They treat the elephants reasonably well, but I did not enjoy the elephant roaring for us at the end, and the guides are subtly making the elephants move around on a routine. It's better than elephant riding, but I didn't feel completely comfortable with the experience

Un sanctuaire éthique, vraiment respectueux du bien-être des éléphants, certains peuvent être touchés, d’autres pas selon leur vécu… Après une balade à côtés d’eux, nous pouvons laver les éléphants. Quant aux soigneurs ils sont souriants et passionnés. Ayoub le guide était adorable et répondait toujours à toutes nos questions. Je recommande vivement de venir ici ! Un moment hors du temps.

Ika Interesting place. Everything is peaceful, no rush. Feeding, watching, and bathing the elephants. A very friendly guide who explained and shared a lot of information. They are well worth supporting.

The most kind people with animals and elephants are here The most kind people with animals and elephants. Each elephant has their own trainer/master that takes care of him everyday. This Elephant farm is probably the best of whole Thailand. Love and care
