The sanctuary is nice and staff friendly 5 elephants were there and we gave food and then went for a walk in the jungle. We reached the river with elephants. We had some food at the camp and food was simple but very good. We finished with bamboo rafting prior returning to Chiang Mai.

Excellent and good value for money. We felt it was just long enough, you learn about elephant feeding, get very close to the elephants, feeding them, in the stream and mud area. The lunch was simple but very tasty. All in all we really enjoyed it and thought was a great morning.
