    We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it. Our guide Leela was very informative and spoke very good English and had a good sense of humour. It was a long day, 12 hours but we were kept busy with several stops for activities enroute. We opted for the 1.45 hr walk around the waterfalls which was well shaded and refreshingly cooler with stunning views. Lunch in the Karen village was very good and well organised. The visit to the Pagodas was wonderful, so beautifully kept and far reaching mountain views. The best trip of my 3 week holiday in Thailand.

    I had such a great time doing this. I like how the tour guides are very forward with their practices and how their priority is the lives of the elephants. The elephants are SO gentle and so kind. It's awesome just to look at them walk around and much on food. The drive is quite long. So if you're prone to car sickness bring something to help with that. The hike is very easy, but it is hot so bring water.

    Perfect afternoon spent with the elephants. Our guide, Nikom, was very knowledgeable and assisted by very friendly Gecko. Obviously very loved and well cared for, it was the perfect way to get up close. The tour was well thought out, supplying lockers for clothes, individual showers, towels and shower cream. They even had plastic bags to put your wet swimming things in!! The food was lovely. A simple pad thai, freshly made with big bowl of different fruits. Our first experience of dragon fruit! Would certainly recommend.

    We took the early morning hike at 5am so we could be driven by red shuttle to top of temple for sunrise. Wonderful site! The monks and the spotlights os the temple ao it shined really brilliantly and waa turned off just before sunrise. We saw the red sun poke through the clouds in the morning. Gorgeous.
    A bonus was our guide, Saman, stopped at store before we got to temple and asked us if we wanted to buy some food for monks. Great idea! So wr had food to give you monks and get a blessing. Saman was very knowledgeable and helped educate us on the traditions and customs. From there we saw another temple...with outstanding views. Plus since we did morning walk, wr went downhill on the official Monks Trail instead of up.
    Nice way to start the day. Saman was very helpful and guided us the entire way, peppering with more education. Great guide.

    Very cool experience. Tour guide took time to get great photos of my wife and I and the rest of the group. Great half day experience.

    Awesome well planned day! The caves are safe with enough adventure to keep you excited.. the kayaking is set in the beautiful landscape of the Ping river with the mountains as the backdrop.. safe and fun.. make sure you concentrate on the kayaking but don’t forget to stop and admire the view! Well worth it!

    We were picked up on time at the designated pick-up point by a friendly guide and driver team. We made two back-to-back stops that were unscheduled that could have been combined into one, these were bathroom/store stops. Then we stopped at a long-neck people village for 30 minutes and only the guide and two others went inside. Given the long drive and the short amount of time that day, we thought it would be better if this village visit became part of a different tour. These stops/detours could have given the group more time at the originally scheduled stops to visit. The Rong Khun, Rong Seur Ten, and Huay Pla Kang Temples are some of the most beautiful temples in Thailand and are well worth the visit. The Sigha Park/Tea Plantation is quite beautiful and it is a shame we did not have time to stop by the park souvenir shop to buy some of the tea plantation-produced tea. Overall, the day was filled with beautiful views and experiences.

    The sanctuary is wonderful. The pacing and how time is spent is lovely and relaxed. You get plenty of time with the elephants, getting right up close for cuddles! The mud bath experience is hilarious and the staff are so kind. Lunch is good, the shower facilities are basic but do the job! Just prepare for a 2 hour drive each way on winding roads and take motion sickness tablets if you suffer from car sickness

    Great trip. The guide Ms. Jane was very informative & nice to interact with.
    We had a small group of 4 people & we covered Đối Inthanon Peak, small terks, pagoda, 2 water falls & a village.
    I think on day is too less to cover this place in whole. But as usual we were short of time.
    In total, the tour operator is highly recommended.

    Joy Elephant Sanctuary is an ethical place that truly cares for the elephants. They don’t offer activities like bathing or riding them. You can only touch the elephants while feeding them; the rest of the experience is about watching them roam freely in open fields and being taken for walks.

    We also made Thai inhalers, enjoyed a delicious lunch, and had fun bamboo rafting. The waterfall was beautiful, and the whole experience was very peaceful.

    It’s a bit far, but worth it. The driver was excellent, and everything was well-organized. Highly recommend it!

    Amazing experience here. Really enjoyed our visit to Joy elephant sanctuary. The elephants are clearly well looked after within their own environment where they are free to roam. We were able to get close to the elephants and watch them. We were happy to know that you weren’t allowed to touch the elephants as this showed that Joy is a truly ethical sanctuary. Also they elephants weren’t tied up and were free to leave and go wherever they wanted. Joy provided us with a nice lunch and we had a very fun afternoon. Definitely go to Joy elephant sanctuary!

    Wonderful trip with our tour guide, Mongkol! Dantewada was very beautiful, a nice tourist attraction and great for photos. Wat Ban Den was stunning but Sticky Waterfall was our favorite! There is also a lovely natural spring near the waterfall with crystal clear water. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and taught us a lot about the surrounding area.
