"La mejor experiencia que hemos tenido. El transporte es un 4x4 con una cabina atras asi que mejor tomar biodramina para le viaje. Todo genial y la familia mas local imposible."

"Veramente una bellissima esperienza , gli elefanti erano liberi nella giungla, nessuno show tipo circo o zoo. 4 esemplari, siamo andati a cercarli e li abbiamo visti mangiare e girare in libertà. Tra l'altro in un posto incantevole con risaie, cascate e percorsi nascosti. Non potevamo fare scelta migliore."

"Une expérience géniale, j'avais déjà eu l'occasion de faire une activité avec des éléphants mais jamais une expérience comme celle-ci. J'ai adorer ce village en pleine jungle car les éléphants y sont traités comme leurs enfants. Ils s'en occupent et leur apporte nourriture et soin au besoin, ils sont en totale liberté et sont magnifiques à observer. Merci au..." Read more

Después nos prepararon una rica comida e hicimos una medicina que después les dimos. Chakt el guia joven, habla bastante bien ingles. Era una excursión de medio dia que se exte..." Read more

"It was an amazing experience. It is really an ethical sanctuary: elephants live freely at the mountain and you make a trekking to look for them with the family that takes care of them and know where to find them. You don’t ride or wash them, although it may look like on the pictures. You get to be really near from them and even touch them if the elephants le..." Read more

"Had a brilliant time with my sister. We were picked up from out hostel at 7:30am before arriving at the sanctuary around 9am. Got a nice intro from our guide, Mr Kin. His family started and have ran the sanctuary for 2 or 3 generations. They have 4 elephants, one is 12 months pregnant (July 2026). Wear hiking/grippy shoes! We hiked about 1km into the valleys..."

"Very beautiful place. Staff is really kind and respectful. They treated us like family. They really care about their elephants which aren't mistreated and live in the wild. I enjoyed that they only take small groups which makes it a more personal experience. Beautiful scenery in the forest. They also cooked us very beautiful food from the rice they cultivate..."

"Highlight of my trip to Thailand so far. This is an ethical sanctuary where the elephants are free to roam around and are treated well by the locals there. The local guide was so friendly and informative (shout out to Chat!) and clearly cares about the elephants. Would highly recommend this experience for those interested in cultural immersion and truly care..." Read more

"I had Chart as my guide and had an absolutely amazing experience! There are 2 seperate families of female elephants that are loved and looked after, some of them have been rescued from elephant riding. I even helped to make them some medicine! They live in the jungle and you must hike up the hill to find them. Theres also a nice little waterfall at the top...." Read more

"Cudowny czas spędzony ze słoniami, które spotkamy w lesie. Niezapomniane przeżycie byłam z dziećmi, w cenie było karmienie słoni, pyszny lunch i przygotowywanie mikstury dla słoni (leki witaminy) a także spacer w terenie z odpoczynkiem przy wodospadzie ☺️"

"My experience here was very positive and felt genuine. The elephants are well cared and treated. I would like to point out that this place could be a huge challenge for people with reduced mobility since there are many steps and irregular terrain. We were given a delicious and local-style lunch and were able to spend a lot of time with the animals. The peopl..." Read more

"El verdadero santuario ético de Chiang Mai. Los elefantes son parte de la familia, se los puede observar comiendo y tomándose un baño pero no montarlos ni ninguna otra cosa que los moleste. Mr Kent es super agradable y nos enseño mucho acerca de los elefantes y también de la cultura de la gente de la village. Hicimos la experiencia de dos días y una noche y..." Read more
