    One in a lifetime experience, well organised and incredible fun.... Never have I ever been so up close to Elephants, it totally changed all my childhood zoo informed ideas about them. This is an incredible experience and a really special memory, set in lovely grounds with helpful and fun staff. The Elephants are clearly happy, well looked after and would highly recommend this trip.

    Perfect elephant rescue center experience for those who are unable to dedicate a full day to this type of event. The tour vehicle (mini-van) conveniently picked us up at the hotel for the approximate 1.5-hour comfortable drive north to the rescue center. The overall experience was awe inspiring as we were able to prepare food, then feed and also bath the elephants. You will of course get wet if you choose to bath the elephants and showers are available to wash up afterwards. Also, our guide at the center, named "Oh-Oh," was fantastic and she made the experience both fun and educational. We recommended this tour to our friends who traveled to Chiang Mai shortly after we did, and they also had a wonderful time. Highly recommended. We would definitely do this half day tour again.

    Fabulous excursion. The elephants appeared very happy. It was a very “up close and personal” experience. No riding or tricks, just hanging out with elephants in a very natural environment. I would highly recommend this trip.
