It was very beautiful both at elephants world and at Erawan park. Both the driver and the staff at Elephant world were very nice.

This was the best excursion of our trip to Thailand. Elephants World was phenomenal. The staff was caring for the elephants. They looked well maintained and seemed to really enjoy interacting with the humans. Erawan Falls were amazing!! Only regret…wish it have River Kwai Bridge on way back. Just a photo. Thank you.

Muy bien solo que coincido con la mayoría el chofer no es guía no sabe inglés y hay que pedirle que se pare por agua aunque sea. En el lugar de los elefantes nos tocó Tony y una experiencia excelente. Luego fuimos a unas cascadas donde nomas te deja y te espera así que uno se tiene que orientar solo. Recomiendo checar los carritos de golf que te llevan hasta ellas si no quieren caminar un rato. Ya no fuimos al puente y de regreso hay que considerar el tráfico hicimos más de cuatro horas, y eso que regresamos 3:45

Given the cost of this trip, I thought I would ask the driver for a couple of little stops (just short) to break up the 3 hours - a nice cafe, a nice scenic stop along the way, maybe a fruit stop or ice cream stop on the way back ... he stopped at a fuel station with an amazon cafe and that was it. I used Google Translate so he would understand, and he said ok, ok ... but he didn't stop. Looking at similar tours, this one was one of the most expensive, so I would have hoped for a little more from the driver. The Elephants Sanctuary and Earwan Waterfalls were beautiful, and I had a magical day

Amazing time prepping food, including cutting grass from the field, then feeding the elephants and giving them a mud bath. Best part was getting sprayed by the elephant’s trunk, lol. Nick (our guide) was awesome with lots of knowledge and made sure we were safe, had a great time and took pics and videos of us. Lunch was delicious (noodles, chicken wings, curry chicken, fish, fruits and vegetables). Rode about 45 minutes to waterfalls. Took in the beautiful scenery and swam a little. FYI, life vests are mandatory (life guards are watching) and cost 20 bhat for 2 hours and if you bring water bot

The driver was excellent as was Tony, our tour guide at Elephants World. But we found the waterfall climb too difficult and would have preferred skipping it.

Our driver Mee, was absolutely brilliant. Not once did he give us a time to meet, he let us enjoy the experience in our own time. His driving was immaculate and we felt very safe. The tour guide Nick at Elephant tour was funny, interesting and interactive with every single person in our small group. This was an amazing tour and WOW, washing, feeding and swimming with the elephants was something we won’t forget. Lunch was delicious and overall tour was one we will book again, and highly recommended.

Visite un peu mitigée Le service de transport était parfait , van et chauffeur impeccable le repas de midi était très bon et le lieu est très bien géré , les éléphants sont en liberté et ont l’air bien traités cependant je trouve qu’il y a énormément de touristes sur une journée , les éléphants on l’air très sollicités .. Lors de la baignade un éléphant n’avait pas envi de venir , les soigneurs l’ont tiré dans l’eau pour qu’il vienne quand même et ils leur donnent l’ordre de s’allonger et d’envoyer de l’eau sur les touristes ce qui m’a dérangé c’était magnifique de passer un moment avec ces an
