This experience was truly magical! From the activities to the beautiful natural surroundings, everything was incredible. Spending time with the elephants, learning their stories, and seeing the care they receive was truly moving.
Sawanya and Vincent were the most amazing hosts, incredibly kind, attentive, and flexible. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and taken care of. The accommodation was a peaceful paradise surrounded by nature, and sharing this adventure with the girls made it even more special. An unforgettable experience that I would do all over again. 🥹💙

This trip was amazing. The hosts and everyone at the homestay were so friendly and even on the nights staying at the homestay, the culture was brought to us, whether that be through learning the language, trying all the different delicacies, candle making and so on. The excursions that were arranged were also very fun and wholesome.
I, myself, am vegan and often struggle with food when travelling, however, I was made to feel completely understood from the start and was catered for to the absolute best of their abilities which I can't thank them enough for. They really went above and beyond💚

I cannot fault this experience at all! Sawanya and the rest of the team at the home stay were the perfect hosts. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they are amongst some of the most friendly and genuine people I have ever met. I am gluten+dairy intolerant and they catered for me the whole trip without any problems; I was told before every meal what I would be able to eat and Sawanya even brought out GF/vegan sauces for myself and other travelers in her bag on the days we were away from the home stay! The whole team really love what they do and I would go back in a heartbeat! Thank you!

This holiday was insane. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were greeted, looked after and treated beautifully. Sawanya and Vincent were so generous and kind to everyone. Whether we were at the home stay, the sanctuary or any of the activities in between we were given precise details of everything to expected, what we should bring, information about food. There wasn't a day where we turned up feeling like we'd forgot something or we weren't well fed or hydrated. Being able to do our part for the elephants was truly an amazing feeling. I'll be returning for sure.

This is such a fantastic experience, opens your eyes and immerses you in the local culture in the South of Thailand. Everything is well managed, every single person you interact with cares deeply about sharing their culture. the shelter sanctuary is truly a beacon of hope, the homestay is the epitome of hospitality and Sawanya ensures the warmest of experiences. Thank you to everyone involved 🙏

This experience was beyond what I could have expected. The staff have their whole heart into the sanctuary, and every project within it. They are joyous, motivated, and dedicated to every the shelter and every resource available, and constantly look for ways to create from what they have. They involve the volunteers like you're their own staff and family, and emerse you completely into their culture, lives and work with complete pride, and it's an emotional experience to leave

This trip has been by far one of my favourites of all time! The host were all so lovely and welcoming, very accommodating and always willing to help in anyway possible. Working with elephants has always been a dream of mine and this sanctuary went beyond expectations, we were taught so much about no only the elephants but also Thai culture and how the sanctuary helps. Honestly couldn't recommend this trip any more, 100% book on!

I had such an amazing experience on this trip! We got to take part in so many fun activities while exploring Thailand, as well as spending three days volunteering at an the shelter sanctuary, which was definitely a highlight. The hosts were absolutely amazing, so welcoming, friendly and helpful, and they made the whole experience so enjoyable. The facilities were also great and everything was really well organised. I'd definitely recommend this trip to anyone wanting to explore Thailand, meet new people and have an unforgettable experience! 🐘🌴✨
