Kui Buri: One hundred tourists and five elephants - The tour itself was very well executed, and the included dinner was excellent. However, Kui Buri is only suitable for tourists who have never seen elephants in the wild. At the beginning of the Kui Buri ride, there were a hundred tourists crammed together with just one elephant. By the end, there were a hundred tourists and five elephants in the far distance. We managed to get some good pictures with a 1200 mm lens.

Amazing experience with private guide - Perfect guide with a lot of interesting facts about both the animals and personal experiences. We didn’t see Elephants but we did see Gaurs and a Black Panther through the camera lens.

A bit of a drive from Hua Hin (2hr) but worth it - It was worth the 2hr drive from Hua Hin to reserve to see so many elephants. The guides taking us there and within the park was great.

Amazing day trip to Kui Buri - Absolutely amazing! We understood there was a chance of seeing no elephants but knew we would have loved this whole experience anyways. Luckily, we saw 3 elephants from far away though! And so many gaur and their babies. The scenery was beautiful. The whole trip was seamless. Easy, on-time pickup, our guide was very knowledgeable and sweet, safe driver, and since it was just us in a private 4x4 national park vehicle we were able to take our time at each of the stops to really take it all in. Our guide (I’m so sorry, I can’t remember her name) got amazing photos of my partner and I that we will cherish! This was part of our 10-year anniversary trip and we couldn't have had a better way to spend this big day! The place we stopped to get food afterwards was DELICIOUS!! We ate it all, haha All in all, an absolute must to add on to your visit to Hua Hin. Even if you don’t get the chance to see elephants there are other animals and a beautiful drive through this stunning part of Thailand to enjoy.

Amazing experience and value for money. - What an amazing experience. We were collected from the hotel by our guide Em, who was so passionate and knowledgeable about the area. He gave us so many insights into local life. Once at the reserve, and transferred into a jeep, we managed to see elephants after only one hour of looking. It was incredible. Em and the guide were quick to spot horn-bills, gaurs and of course the elephants roaming freely. The meal at the end was also absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic! - This was a lovely experience. We saw a group of elephants, and a lone male, all from afar which is just what we wanted. There is no guarantee that you will see them. The guide (Bob) was extremely knowledgeable and despite the constant heavy rain maintained enthusiasm throughout! I would book again.

What a let down - Drove two hours from Hua Hin. Nice scenery and landscapes. No elephant to see. Just a hoard of jeeps on bumpy roads all meeting to a spot. No animal whatsoever apart from a few chickens and a couple of hornbills. I think the park needs some lessons from African camps on wildlife conservation and tourist viewing

Expensive and interest-free - Before this visit I had read comments that it was possible not to see elephants I was aware that it is a nature park but not a zoo I explain the guide at the beginning of the tour tells us yesterday we saw an elephant at 16:00 We arrived at a viewpoint and waited like all the other pickups for over an hour Then miraculously at 3:58 p.m. one of the guides shouts an elephant at the bottom about 800 meters This coincidence seemed doubtful to me but I thought why not In the days that followed I met several people who visited this park years ago and confirmed to me that the scenario was the same namely appearance of an elephant around 4:00 pm It's obvious that this park makes live a lot of locals between guides and pickup drivers but I think this tour is a business and a tourist trap For information and personal opinion
