If you are reasonably healthy, it is best to visit ENP as a volunteer so that you feel that you are actually contributing the well-being of these wonderful creatues. Work, besides caring for the elephants, includes planting, weeding and harvesting crops; construction of park buildings; and cleanup after the elephants, water buffalo and other park animals. All the work will... more

We had a fantastic time at the ENP. This place opens your eyes to what some Elephants are put through. The park is fantastic. Feeding time was fun. One massive bucket of food, gone with seconds. They love their food!! Wash time was an experience. Lets just say you need to up stream to miss the "floating elephant waste". The... more

We spent a day in the Elephant Nature Park and wished it could have been a week. This is an absolutely amazing place with a brilliant ethos. Not only is it full of rescued elephants, but they also give employment to the surrounding people. It was a far more natural way to see elephants. We were able to feed and... more

We have just returned from a trip to Thailand and spent 2 days at the Elephant Nature Park. I have to say that this was one of the highlights of our trip. The Elephant Nature park is a must see attraction for anyone wanting to go to Thailand. The park itself and the work that has gone into it is... more

Do not fall for the touristy scams with promises of elephant paintings and trekking! If you are a lover of elephants and believe in the humane treatment of them then this place is a MUST for you. First off, elephants DO NOT paint in the wild, they are trained to paint and the "training" of an elephant will bring tears... more

I knew I didn't want to see elephants doing any tricks or painting any pictures for my amusement--I just wanted to learn more about these creatures and get to know them up close. At the Elephant Nature park I learned... more

We did the 2 day/1 night program at ENP. The first day was just like doing a day trip to the park (feeding, bathing, documentary, feeding, bathing), but at night we got a delicious dinner and stayed in a little bungalow on stilts that had an open air bathroom that faced the elephants in the meadow. The bungalow was very... more

I could not have been happier with our fabulous day at the Elephant Nature Park. Getting the opportunity to learn about & help support these amazing creatures was such a gift. The staff was friendly, the food was great, & the up close & personal interaction with the elephants was priceless. We learned about the elephants as individuals & how... more

I cannot say enough good things about this project. I was looking forward to our visit most of everything we had planned. Lunch was great and we got to spend a lot of time getting to know the elephants at the park. We fed them, bathed in the river with them, and got a birds eye view of family interactions... more
