Excellent ethical Elephant resort

Heartwarming, but with ethical mixed feelingsI can’t say it wasn't a great experience, as it was genuinely thrilling for me to be there. The elephants do look well-cared for, though as a visitor, one can never know for sure. The staff makes you feel the love and dedication they have for the animals—they were incredibly polite, warm, and friendly throughout the visit.However, I had mixed feelings regarding the ethics of the mud bath and bathing activities with the elephants. I personally chose not to participate in those parts, though my partner did. In my opinion, walking alongside them, offering an occasional gentle touch, or feeding them feels like enough. Allowing direct bathing interactions (twice per day) makes it feel less like a true sanctuary and more like a tourist-driven experience.As far as I know, for an elephant to bathe two or more times a day is completely natural and healthy for its body. The only debatable aspect from a tourism ethics standpoint is when this activity turns into a 'mandatory interactive show' rather than a free, intuitive act by the animal.Still, I appreciate the hospitality and the experience overall. I truly hope these beautiful elephants are genuinely well cared for behind the scenes.

This place deserves six stars! Here, the animals set the pace, not us humans. Every minute you spend there lets you feel how the keepers care for and, above all, love these animals.Our guide, Bang, was simply amazing.Yes, it's significantly more expensive than anything offered at the tourist booths, but it's worth every penny because it's all about animal welfare.Use the official website and book your ticket directly through them. That's all there is to it: you'll be picked up, there will be food and drinks, and you'll experience these majestic animals up close, all without the exploitation they often suffer. ❤️

This experience honestly made my whole trip. They genuinely care about the animals and nothing else, not trying to get money from you, but rather educate you and create awareness. The most wholesome, Real sanctuary.

We visited during our tour and had the opportunity to feed these beautiful creatures, free of charge. This was our second visit. The caretakers are kind to both the elephants and the visitors. It's one of the ethical shelters you can visit. Making a donation for the elephants when you visit would be a kind gesture.
