Our trip to the elephant sanctuary and Erewan waterfall was a highlight of our Thailand holiday. Our guide, Siri, had a great sense of humour, and was really informative about the places we were visiting, and the stories behind them. He was also a deft hand with his camera, and took some truly beautiful photos of our family, all shared with us. The car was comfortable and the elephant sanctuary was kind to the elephants, with a beautiful aspect by the river, and very welcoming staff. The lunch was great too. It was great to finish the day at the waterfall to cool down (although the compulsory life jacket was a bit restrictive - but the beauty of the waterfalls more than made up for it!) All in all, this tour was a big hit with the family, and we especially appreciated Siri's efforts in making this tour such a hit. would definitely recommend...

Everything was great. Driver Krit was an excellent guide and did go the extra mile in taking care of us making us feel relaxed and pampered. Stops for pictures, break for coffee, and driving us safely in his convenient car with airco. He gave us lots of information and conversation but also let us sleep when we were tired at the end of the day. The elephant sanctuary was a wonderful experiment, we loved cutting grass feeding the elephants and finally bathing with them was cool. So good to know these elephants are well taken care of after a hard life for many older ones. The waterfalls were beautiful a nice steep climb past all 7 levels to the top was worth the sweating. Many pictures and beautiful memories.

It was an awesome day starting right from when Mr Siri picked us up. He was really friendly, great to have a laugh with and gave us lots of information about the places we drove through. The extra short stop at the old railway was great! He took lots of photos of us with the elephants and encouraged us to get right up close which we probably wouldn’t have done otherwise & we will be forever grateful. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Thank you Mr Siri for a once in a lifetime experience! The Elephant Sanctuary tour was so much fun, we were given lots of information, the food tasted great and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We would recommend this tour to anyone.
