This was a great... - This was a great experience. The tour guide was very sweet. We got to feed elephants and even touch them. They helped us take nice pictures as well. The rescued elephants seem to be well taken care of here.

Patong Hill Tribe Elephant Sanctuary - Wonderful experience in beautiful surroundings. The elephants are rescues and appeared happy and well cared for, roaming freely on the hill. We had the opportunity to prepare some food to feed the elephants, who are eager to take from your hands. Our guide Pa was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable! She took lots of photos for us and made the effort to learn the names of everyone in the group! Thank you Pa and the rest of the hill tribe for such a lovely experience and for taking such good care of these beautiful creatures!

Girls trip - Wonderful close up encounter with elephants. No performances or tricks. Clear to see that these people really care about the elephants.

Genuine elephant interactions - The actual elephant sanctuary was fabulous. Close encounters with these lovely animals and lovely to see how well they are being looked after. Shame our booked transfer didn’t work out… we waited at the right place at the right time & the driver was in a different location!

Elephant feeding - Once you manage to explain to the taxi drivers where you're going, it's great. Lovely to see the elephants being treated so nicely.

Unresponsive/Steal Your Money - Don’t recommend doing this specific tour. This company is unresponsive and steals your money. Save you money and go somewhere else.
