The sanctuary is relatively new, and currently has only female elephants. Males.can be quite aggressive, and a special.permit to house males must be earned. The elephants were gentle and carefully tended by staff who live on the compound. Our access to the elephants was surprising to me. we walked with them, fed them, and basically played with them in a river. the thing I liked most was the respect and love of the staff for the animals. there were no rides or performances. Basically the elephants had no demands made of them. we also made pad Thai which was delicious and cooking was fun. Bathroom facilities could be better, cleaner, more.private, but that is a factor in so many places.
We had a fantastic visit to the sanctuary. Our guide Tony was great very funny and very informative. Would highly recommend this.
