Amazing day. - Loved feeding and scrubbing the elephants the best but the temple was also an experience with the views and the temple itself was stunning. A full packed day but was worth the experience if my 90 year old mother can do it so can you. 😉

Elephant haven with death railroad - Our tour guide, Eddie, was an excellent guide. While this was only his second time leading this itinerary, he was very knowledgeable. He engaged us in conversation over a wide variety of topics and we learned a lot about Thailand.
The temple we visited was lovely, but the highlight of the tour was the elephant haven. Preparing food for and feeding the elephants was awe inspiring. Ao far, this was the highlight of our trip.
On the way back to Bangkok, we stopped along the roadside for the best Pad Thai we have ever had.
While a long day, it was well worth it.
