Day trip from Bangkok to an ethical Pattaya elephant sanctuary for feeding, mud spa, river bathing, and Thai lunch with hotel pickup.

“It was great. We had the best driver who picked us up from our hotel in Bangkok and brought us back. He was probably the best driver we ever had. He didn't talk much, but his driving skills were par excellence---the smoothest and safest driver. The time with the elephants was the highlight of our Thailand trip. The staff at the Pattaya Sanctuary were the best. They made sure I was taken cared of because of my mobility issues. We would love to come back again. It was a wonderful experience.”

“This was an incredible experience and you must not miss this opportunity if you are in Thailand. Long drive from Bangkok but wonderful driver in a comfortable car and stops along the way as needed. The elephants are well cared for and so playful. Skip the elephant ride please and come here instead. For the second half of our day we hiked up Erawan falls. There are 7 levels and it is a steep climb. Prepare yourself if you have trouble with stairs. Good thing you get to stop along the way and admire the beautiful landscape and views. Even swim in the cool water for a refreshing break. Just…”
