What can I say about this experience… and it WAS an experience! Small group (which is always a bonus) weather fantastic and our guide for the day Run, was excellent. Food at lunch outstanding and there was plenty of water etc to drink on the way. Elephant experience was once in a lifetime, bamboo rafting was serene and safe and was brilliant just to be able to slowly take the spectacular view in our stride. As usual Viator have exceeded themselves.

The entire day was top notch. We were picked up by Mr Mark and he took great care of us. The elephant sanctuary and bamboo rafting were unique experiences we won’t forget. Mr Mark drove us to each excursion and we never felt rushed. It was a very enjoyable day.

Robert, our driver and guide was excellent. He took time to ensure we fully experienced every activity and he had planned our schedule expertly. The elephant refuge was particularly interesting.

The bamboo rafting was the highlight. It was so relaxing and peaceful in an environment that few experience. The lunch was delicious and plentiful. Bathing and feeding the elephants and getting up close to these majestic beasts was truly wonderful.

Small intimate trip of 8 people with a very knowledgeable enthusiastic tour guide. We first headed to a street market them out to the elephants We fed and bathed them with plenty of opportunities for photos. Next we headed to the Monkey Temple where wild monkeys were running free then it was time for an hour on a bamboo raft which was very peaceful. As we floated along the river we saw wild monkeys high up on the trees, a snake and some frogs. We stopped half way for a coffee in bamboo cups which tasted lovely. It was quite a climb to the spot where we had coffee but our bamboo 'driver' helped me and later allowed my mum to guide the raft along thr river. All in all a great trip seeing more rural Thailand.
