This is a true ethical place, promoting justice for the elephants and for the people and I'm happy that I could be part of it. Aree and Agnes have a big heart and work hard to make it happen. The month I spent in the project was a bit troubled due to the heavy rains and the renovations in their facilities, but future volunteers won't need to deal with it. In general the tasks were easy and enjoyable, and I loved the experience to be a tour guide! The accommodation isn't in great conditions and you'll need to deal with the mold during your stay, so pack light and smart for this experience!

Spent a month volunteering at the shelter—a deeply rewarding experience, though prospective volunteers should know what to expect. Highlights: Unforgettable time with the elephants (guiding tours & watching them), wonderful volunteer group, and delicious fresh Thai food daily. Drawbacks: Basic lodging with severe dampness/mold (affecting clothes). Management was unsupportive and dismissed our concerns regarding unexplained pricing discrepancies. Verdict: An incredible experience with the animals—just bring a self-sufficient mindset
