The elephants are beautiful animals. Annie and Noon did a fantastic job explaining how they take care of them and facts about them. The day starts with feeding them. Mud bath, swimming with them, and finally showering them. It is then followed up with a cooking class that taught my wife how to make pad Thai. That is added to a buffet of Thai food for lunch, which was absolutely fantastic. Would definitely recommend. It would not feel like a vacation to Thailand without seeing the elephants. One of the elephants even followed us to say goodbye.

I love everything about this sanctuary. The day was never boring. My whole family loved this and will do this again if we had the chance. Knowing how well the elepant are being taken care of and that they are not chained up. They were gental giants.
