"My visit to the elephant village sanctuary was a truly beautiful experience. The host was incredibly kind and down to earth, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. What struck me the most was seeing the elephants living in their natural habitat—it was heartwarming and enlightening to witness their freedom and contentment. The sanctuary's setting..." Read more

"This is the place to go to see Elephants! I was very concerned about ethics when finding a place to see Elephants in Thailand and after hearing different stories from travelers and online, I decided to go with what my hostel recommended, Elephant Village Sanctuary. The guide Mr. K was incredibly friendly and informative. The elephants were free roaming and h..." Read more

"Ein wunderschöner und idyllischer Ort mitten im Dschungel. Das ganze wird von einer lokalen Familie in einem kleinen Dorf seit 3 Generationen mit einfachen Mitteln und wenig Geld betrieben. Der Besitzer ist äusserst freundlich und humorvoll und erzählt uns die Geschichte des Dorfes und der Elefanten. Die Elefanten leben hier frei im Dschungel und werden wede..." Read more

"This was one of the best experiences of my life. I was hesitant to book a tour where you have a right to touch and interact with these gentle giants. Our guide explained how the elephants were saved from a log camp or riding experience. Ken and his village provide a wonderful home for these animals and I hope you get to enjoy this experience as we did"

"The elephants have 55 acres of jungle to roam. Our tour guide Ken was super friendly and explained everything and spoke good English. We got to feed the elephants and wash them after we trekked through the jungle to find them. Very genuine and the elephants are clearly well looked after and are able to roam the jungle freely."

"חוויה מדהימה. פגשנו 4 פילות בתוך הג׳ונגל האכלנו אותן, הלכנו להשתכשך במפל ואז פגשנו את הפילות שוב בנהר ורחצנו אותן בסוף קיבלנו ארוחת ערב ממש ממליצים. הכפר הזה שומר על הפילים כי הם כבר מבויתות ולא יכולות לחיות לבד בטבע. המחיר של הסיור זה עבור האוכל שלהן"

"Really nice experience! We pet and fed the elephants some snacks, then swam in a waterfall and got lunch. We had one last goodbye with the elephants while they took a bath. It was really fun and nice to see how knowledgeable their caretakers are."

"I didn't even want to visit an elephant sanctuary in Thailand, but this was one of the highlights of my Trip! First we fed bananas to a few, then got to go into a waterfall with one during bath time. Then they cooked us a huge dinner!"

"Eine magische Erfahrung. Wir wanderten mit Ken einige Minuten durch den Dschungel und auf einmal erschienen die liebevollen Riesen vor uns. Wir durften sie mit Wassermelonen und Bananen füttern. Gebadet haben wir sie nicht. Dafür haben wir zugeschaut wie ein Local zwei badete und sie planschten im Wasser. Die Ohren stetig am wackeln, was ein gutes Zeichen is..." Read more

"I have no idea what is wrong with the people that gave 1 star reviews. We were a group and our tour company has a great relationship with the family so maybe that helps. The 4 elephants were very happy to come get snacks from us. We did stop and buy small watermelons from a roadside stand on the way so we had lots of interaction. Ken has an amazing personali..."
