Best experience with elephants!

5.00This experience exceeded our expectation. We learned to chop siugar cane to feed the elephants. Daeng, the leader, shared about his culture growing up and about elephant care. We walked through the vegetation to feed the elephants in nature. We watched the caretaker of each elephant feed, provide fresh water and bathe the elephants. Then, we got in the water to scrub the elephants. We mage papaya salad and were fed a delicious lunch. I encourage you to spend the money on this tour.
Wonderful experience
