Memorable time - A memorable day, for sure! Our guide was Sai and she was excellent. Really good at what she does. The elephant sanctuary is lovely and the elephants are adorable. If you’re wondering if this really is a sanctuary-it is. They are not forced to do anything and there is no riding allowed. They rule this place! The toilets here were beautiful and clean. Lunch was delicious and they catered to my vegetarian diet. All the staff were very friendly. The part with the hot springs was a 45min drive away. It was extremely hot at this location and despite the way it’s worded, you cannot put your body in the water. It’s too hot. Then a 1 and half hr drive to the lake. This drive is very windy. We had a great driver but if you’re prone to car sickness I wouldn’t recommend. It was a long day, but very interesting and we enjoyed it. The elephants were our fave part, so, if that’s all you’re really interested in - just choose a ticket with the sanctuary visit and not the added hot springs and lake (neither of which you can actually swim in). We are interested in seeing real Thai life, so enjoyed this road trip but it won’t be for everyone. Snacks and food were offered to us the entire day, as was bottled water. Thankful for our lovely driver for looking after us all day too.
