This is by far the BEST wildlife sanctuary in Thailand. Has nice staff, tha Animals are being treated with respect (no touching, going near them e.t.c.) and the tour is a must. Inge was a really nice tour guide who explained everything to us and answered all of our questions <3

Pick up from hotel on time 8.30am on comfortable bus, tour began at 10.00 and our guide Val spoke good English and was very knowledgeable and informative. It was fantastic to see the work the rescue group does and how much they care for animals that had unfortunate lives before they arrived at the sanctuary/ hospital. Thank god for people and places like this. A great place to help out if you are planning to travel to Hua Hin Thailand and want to make a difference rather than just holiday. I loved the ethic of this organisation, they do not exploit animals and ask if we see any exploitation of animals for profit or fun in Thailand that we contact them immediately. There is no breeding in captivity here and their main aim is to rehabilitate back to the wild when at all possible and to give a safe and respectful forever home to the animals too damaged to support themselves in a wild environment. I highly recommend this tour to everyone who loves and cares about animals.. well done wildlife friends foundation you’ve got it right👏👏🥰

A really good trip and very good and thorough information about the project which is to save all animals regardless of what condition they are in. If an animal can have one or more good days after a miserable life, they must have it. It's great though some might think it's a whole religion, but deep respect here from ❤️

It was a great and entertaining experience. From the pick-up, the guided tour of the area, lunch... everything worked out great. You can tell that people are concerned about the animals, each on their own, with the corresponding trauma. My best moment was to look the elephant in the eye at the end and feed it. Thanks for the special day!

This place is a gem! Bless them for the great work they do here. Quite a tear-jerker, but it is terrific the work they do and the countless animal souls they are saving here. They do a great job at recovering and releasing back into the wild those that can be; and provide a clean, comfortable, life-time home for those who cannot be returned to nature. Saving all these tigers and gibbons, and other animals from the Phuket and Pattaya zoos just warmed my heart. Cannot stomach what these evil owners did to torture and exploit these beautiful creatures for years to make a buck. They saved the old filthy cages from these places -- so I ask, can we imprison the owners in them for 15 years? I'll gladly pay to pose for a picture! Just a tip for visitors, bring a bottle of water and a hat - you will be walking a bit in the brutal heat! But you'll enjoy it. Most important, they are a not-for-profit organization, and not government subsidized, so are in need of donation dollars. We will be donating, and they will be in our thoughts, our prayers, and our will.

The Wildlife Center was amazing and the work that they do there is incredible! I was amazed at the number of different animal species that were present at the center. Our guide, whose name I didn’t get was amazing and offered so much information about the center. The animals are all so well cared for and the staff’s dedication shines through. I gave this tour 4 stars only because there was a mixup with our pickup and we missed the first 45 mins of the tour. Viator came through and sent a taxi to pick us up and offered us a discount, which was much appreciated.

Picked up neatly on time. Waited at the meeting point for 3/4 hours. Way too long. No info in between. Then we see people get up and walk after them, to the cinema. Here really a clearer communication!! Guided tour by Jan was well and enthusiastically given. Too much info clouded, keep it concise. If there is no animal to see, then go on! Food was very tasty with variety. Keep it that way. 2nd round was nice. Feeding elephants may be on the edge, but in the ethical whole okay. In the end also quite a time, certainly 1/2 hour waited for buses.

Tour guide was excellent. Explained the animals in detail. Not only their habits but also great insight into how they got there and what they went through. How they are preparing the for next steps.
