I love elephants! This was a birthday treat to myself before leaving Bangkok. WELL. WORTH. IT! I had so much fun hugging elephants, feeding elephants, getting kissed by elephants, walking with them, washing them and swimming with them. I've never been so intimately close to these gentle giants. My son who started off afraid to feed ended up swimming with and brushing (or cleaning) the elephants. My heart was full that day!!!

I have mixed feelings about this experience. First of all, the service was top notch, we were well looked after in the van with bottles of water, etc. Even though we're French, the language wasn't an obstacle. Even though we're French, the language wasn't an obstacle, and the people were friendly, so the experience was sincerely a good one. However, I'd like to take issue with the word "ethical", as I thought I'd be seeing elephants with a bit more freedom, and it's certain that they've been trained to take photos (raising their trunks at just the right moment, for example), and this excessive photo-taking and interaction with the elephants was a real turn-off for me. It's true that in this space efforts are made to improve the well-being of the elephants while allowing them a certain amount of freedom, so it may be "more ethical" than others, but the presence of training shows that it's not 100% natural.

Hooray for elephant spa day

Wonder what a spa day looks like for an elephant? Get ready to find out in this half-day adventure where you’ll help these gentle giants enjoy a luxurious pampering session. Start your day with optional round-trip transfers that whisk you comfortably to the park, ensuring you arrive ready for fun. Once you arrive, you’ll be warmly welcomed by your expert guide, who’s not just any guide but an elephant aficionado. You'll get fascinating insights into elephant behavior, communication, and how to interact with these majestic creatures. Then, change into a traditional Thai outfit and dive into a hands-on Thai herbal inhaler workshop. You’ll learn to craft your own inhaler using traditional herbs like lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and eucalyptus, famous for their soothing and decongestant qualities.

Four-legged fun

After the workshop, it’s time to feed the elephants! Prepare nutritious food and vitamin balls that these large friends will happily devour. Enjoy a leisurely jungle walk alongside your new pals, then get ready for a playful mud spa session where you’ll join the elephants in rolling around in the mud—expect lots of laughs and a bit of mess. Cool off with a fun river bath alongside the elephants, splashing and enjoying the water together. Wrap up your visit with a delicious Thai lunch, savoring authentic flavors as you reflect on the day’s experiences. As you say goodbye, the elephants will send you off, leaving you with a heart full of happiness and memories to cherish.
