Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We came in May 2024 and it was a great experience. We got the chance to see, feed and pet the elephants, whoops seemed well treated and quite happy. It was really sad hearing about their past stories, but they seem to have a nice home there. They have plenty of space, are well treated and the people there seemed to really care about them. During our tour we got to make food for them and feed them, afterwards we walked on a brodge above the park and and the end they took us among the animals. We even got a hug from two of the younger elephants. Everything felt safe and the tour guide spoke very good English and told us a lot of interesting stuff about elephants, how they got there and what are their plans for the future.
This is a nice place that seems to be treating animals in a kind way, allowing you to see them up close in a way that is not stressful for them.

From the beautiful elephants, to making their food, feeding them, hugging them and having the best tour guide. I’d say this is the most remarkable experience we’ve ever experienced!!!!

Good people. Very kind and good for all the animals. De eleohants have a big place to walk around free. If you love elephants, you need to visit this place! No riding, No wassing. You can only touch an elephant, if they walk to you. We enjoyed it! ❤️

Aonna was magnificent! What a great tour guide and what a once in a lifetime experience.

The people treat and care for the animals so well I’m so happy we came and visited.

I’m always hesitant with experiences like this but this truly is a sanctuary for saved elephants.

God bless you guys! Keep doing great work! God loves you!

Absolutely wonderful experience. The elephants were really well cared for, healthy, and they had tons of space with lots of greenery. First rate facility here, for sure. Great informational tour by our guide, Ing. We got to spend a lot of time petting the elephants as well as feeding them. Highly recommend this tour! Our family will never forget this experience.

This was a highlight of our holiday in Thailand. These wonderful creatures are looked after so well. We enjoyed learning about their diet and antics.
What a joy to be given a basket of food to feed them. Each has its own character. All rescued from suffering.

Certain to be one of the top highlights ever of our travels, is this amazing experience at this elephant sanctuary! From the minute we walked in we knew the elephants were so happy and loved at this sanctuary. Be sure to take the full tour and experience, making special food for the elephants, seeing a video about the place, feeding the elephants, your custom-made food,walking along the trail above the elephants to see them playing in the water and roaming around so happy and then get to actually meet the elephants.

Well worth it. Beautiful experience up close and personal with the elephants. They are genuinely happy and well looked after. Hosts/ tour guide were great and knowledgeable. You cant get this close to elephants in Australia. I got quite emotional it was such a nice experience.

It was a really great morning. We made protein balls and fed them to the elephants, walked around the raised boardwalk, and then went in to get up close and personal. We each got an elephant trunk hug and got to look them in the eye.
Our guide Ing was great. All the staff were lovely.
And I have to mention the included pad thai lunch...so good!

The set up is fabulous. Really care for their elephants with no signs of any harm or abuse whatsoever. Really amazing to see the elephants in their natural environment whilst being safe. If they can’t be in the wild because of their histories, this is absolutely the next best thing.
