  • This is a must do while in Chang Mai! Dee was so much fun and taught us a lot. This experience will change your life. They take such good care of the elephants here and also the patrons.

  • A lovely experience! The elephants are treated well and fed well. We’ve had a great time feeding, bathing and interacting with the animals. They seem to be happy. All the best Dee and the team with the sanctuary and if you’re reading this and unsure if it’s worth the money, in my opinion it is 100% worth your money, for such an unforgettable experience, you can be sure the money goes towards the survival of these amazing animals. They as well as other real elephant sanctuaries were out of business during Covid so please go and support them!
  • Had an absolutely wonderful experience and will be sure to go again! The staff clearly care about the elephants, giving you their history and referring to them by their names and introducing you to them. Although they may have the same routine each day the elephants could chose. So although they have 6 elephants only 2 actually cane into the mud spa which was lovely to see as they have the freedom to do as they please. Clearly well looked after and is a great experience for anyone. Young or old. Would highly recommend this place!
  • This place is really nice to visit elephants. They can live freely in the nature. They do not force elephants to anything. We can feed and shower with them. Elephants are quite friendly, they are also chubby. It is so cute! The price is quite expensive but it is worst it, 2000 bath for full tour and 800 bath for feed and take a photo. You can walk with elephant in the nature too. I am really enjoy and happy to visit here. I recommend to come.
  • A simply wonderful experience. I highly recommend this sanctuary as the elephants seem to be treated very well. The definite highlight is the mud bath, you get up close and personal with the elephants themselves. The guide himself was very funny and knowledgeable, and the photographer took some great shots which we couldn't refuse. To top it off the lunch we had while we were there was very tasty!
  • Great experience feeding, walking and bathing the elephants. Dee, the guide did a good job to make the tour entertaining and educational! All the money spent are used for the elephants. They were bought from mostly from riding camps. The elephants looked healthy and happy :)
