Absolutely wonderful experience. These people really care and devote their lives to the wellbeing of the elephants. We prepared food for and fed the elephants, trekked with them into the jungle and bathed them. If you’re going to visit elephants in Thailand, please choose a tour like this for an immersive and fun experience. Our hearts were full when we left :)
