  Perfect organization. They pick you up at the hotel and take you back. Great and plentiful lunch. Very comprehensive guide. Wonderful elephant park experience. Even the walk in the woods is beautiful.

  We had a fantastic time on this tour. It is a long day, but the tour company plans it well. Our guide Tuk-ta was wonderful, friendly, and knowledgeable. The Living Green elephant sanctuary is beautiful and well-maintained. We felt like the elephants were very happy and well cared for. The lunch provided (Pad Thai) was delicious. Two more short stops at Thailand’s highest peak, and a monument to the previous king and queen were very interesting. The hike on Pha Don Siew trail was fascinating and beautiful. A real jungle hike where we saw animals, terraced rice farming, water falls and beautiful views. The whole day was about 12 hours, and worth it all. 10 out of 10 for us.

• Elephant park, Doi Inthanon and Pha Dok Siew Trail

  The elephant encounter was incredible! So worth it. You see so much on the trail through the jungle. Not as much wildlife as we thought there might be, but it was our first time in the jungle and animals try to avoid noises so it comes with the territory. You cover so much in a day and if you love nature, this is the excursion for you. Requires strenuous hiking, so be ready for that! Thanks San Dee for a great trip!

• Fantastic experience!!

  Pro: Friendly tour guide. Takes great photos. Elephant sanctuary was an amazing experience. All of the staff was really friendly, seemed like they actually cared for the elephants, and the elephants were enjoying their time there. Great lunch as well- tofu pad thai, you add your own sauces to customize. watermelon and pineapple and water bottle with it. Overlook the elephants in a shady area while eating. Cons: AWFUL communication from the team throughout the day. 1. 2 months before booking the tour, I messaged the company if they could save front seat for me as I get nauseous and it’s a very long drive. They said first come first serve, since my hotel was on the North-West side of the city, we would be one of the last to be picked up, so unlikely I would get a front seat. I then asked what the first stop would be, as I would be willing to change the hotel just for this. They said McDonalds by Thapae Gate. I proceeded to change my hotel, and updated the reservation to this pickup point. The morning of the tour, they arrived 30 min late to pick us up, and we were in fact the LAST GROUP TO BE PICKED UP. A blatant lie and disregard for their customer. We changed hotel for no reason, and awful communication. 2. BEWARE OF BOOKING THIS TOUR DURING RAINY SEASON. During the dry season, the 2-hour hike is very leisurely and doable, quite a bit of stairs. But it was downpouring the entire time we were on the hike. Had mud up to our ankles, and slipped multiple times. Shoes are ruined. We should have at least received a warning not to do this hike unless very experienced or with hiking shoes!!! THERE ARE VERY MINIMAL RAILINGS, and you’re on a cliff’s edge most of it. Very unsturdy hike. 3. On the way to the elephant sanctuary, driver kept glancing at his phone, and speeding up mountain. Signs said limit of 30-50 km/hr. He was going 60-90 km/hr consistently. Very dangerous. Did slow down a bit once it started pouring and thundering. Driver also drove away with the van door open multiple times, complete disregard of if we or our stuff fell out. Door was locked from inside, could only be opened from outside, so way to evacuate in case of emergency. 4. Highest point in Thailand- this is absolutely a waste of time, and I wish they skipped it and got us back earlier. There is nothing to see except for the sign. Completely blocked by trees, no view at all, yet 1 hr out of the way. 5. Coffee after the hike- wish we had time to look around the village. Instead they sit you down and teach u basics about the coffee production, and u can buy some stuff from them, and get free coffee. But it was 5:30pm at that point… so I didn’t try the coffee. Wish this was in the morning, but personal preference. 6. When u get to elephant sanctuary, guide does a 45 minute training on how to feed the elephants. This is all just verbal talk. We had a 2 hour drive to the sanctuary… why not do this training on the drive? Very much a waste of time that could’ve been a better use of our day. Overall, loved the elephants, the temples were cute, lunch was good, nice photos… could have used much better communication and transparency from tour company and driver, and much improvement regarding standard of safety. Dangerous hike and drive.
