Amazing - thank you! - We had such a wonderful day at the elephant sanctuary. The guide took us around, showed us all the elephants, they know them so well and we got so up close and personal with them! They were so great at answering all of our questions, explaining about everyday life of the elephants and we’re all so warm and friendly. The food was also amazing! Thanks so much, we could come back in a heartbeat!

Good first experience with elephants in Thailand - They don’t force you to do anything you don’t want to. Food was good as well. They really care for the elephants. Really Nice and calm in the afternoon. Timely pick-up from hotel in Chiang Mai. We booked the evening before and they made it work.

Amazing experience 10/10 - We had the most amazing experience here in Ran - Tong Save and Rescue Elephant Centre. All the staff were so friendly and engaging, particularly our tour guide Nikom who made our whole experience so special! He was extremely informative and was a pleasure to spend the day with. I would certainly recommend this experience to people of all ages. The food provided is amazing and the transport provided is very handy. The elephants are well cared for and it’s clear the amazing bond the staff have with the elephants. Thank you so much for the most amazing day!

An amazing day at the full day tour! - We had the best day ever here with Nikom! From the start to finish we were treated with amazing service and everyone was so friendly. Nikom was so helpful and knowledgeable and had a great laugh with us all day. All the other guides and keepers were also amazing as they were very friendly and took many pictures for us. I would definitely recommend doing the full day tour here at Ran Tong! 10/10

Best of Chiang Mai - It was amazing the full day experience. We were picked up from our hostel (all very punctual), taken to the sanctuary and all the activities we did were extremely beautiful. From feeding them to bathing them. They also told us that whenever we wanted there was coffee, water and cookies. We were also fed quite well and ended up with a very appetizing collation. 100% recommend the full day experience.

Full Day tour- worth it!!! - A smaller refuge for elephants rescued from the logging industry. Shom our guide was very knowledgeable and didn't rush our experience at all. The full day tour exceeded our expectations! We got to spend such quality time with the elephants and bathing them was a memory we will cherish for life! The lunch was delicious and we even got an afternoon snack too! Cannot recommend enough!
