The day we spent at Elephant World was absolutely wonderful. We really wanted to spend time with elephants rather than exploit the typical tourist experience of an elephant ride. We learned how damaging such rides are to the elephants. The day we spent was rewarding in so many ways: from preparing elephant food and feeding them to the truck trip... More

Me and my wife spent a day there, best day of our lives!, it truely was magical. Before going to Thailand, I wanted to do an Elephant ride. I ended up on a website saying that the big chairs on the elphant's were horrible. I checked the Elephant's World website and said to myself: this place is the one!, you... More

I caught a bus to Kanchanaburi at the Sai Tai station and spent the day at The Ehelphant's World. Mr. Tem picked my friend and I up from the station, we stopped along the way to pick up our volunteer tour guides and headed straight to the site. The warmth of the staff, volunteers and community members that make it... More

Loved this place. We spent a day there, after looking around at various tours, and decided we wanted to go somewhere where the elephants were well treated. We were not disappointed. The whole day was geared towards caring for the elephants - we made them sticky rice, went to collect banana trees for them and the highlight of the day... More

My Girlffriend, and also my Mum and Dad visited Elefants World in March 2012. We will never forget that fantastic Day with these wonderful, lovely, big Animals. We learned a lot about taking care of them, giving them Medicine and feeding them. We have been involved of all. And last but not least we took the Chance for taking a... More

I went to Thailand with the hopes of experiencing elephants but I had set my mind that I would NOT do any activity where I feared for the elephants well-beeing. We where offered tons of cheap treks but I really didn't feel comfortable riding the elephants as I knew that the big chairs where bad for their backs so after... More

Our trip to Elephant’s World was without doubt the highlight of our entire trip to Thailand. The day we were there, we were very privileged to be the only ones to join all the mahouts (elephant cowboys) and volunteers, and we were welcomed so kindly by everyone. The work done at Elephant’s World is absolutely amazing; it was so refreshing... More

We didn't have a long time here as it was part of a finely planned 3 day tour. But on arrival we were immediately taken for a ride on the elephants for about 40 minutes. I was mildly disappointed at first as I have always wanted to actually ride and elephant - not sit on a bench seat on its... More

We loved our day at Elephant World, but it's not for everyone. Here are some things to consider. You get a chance to "work" for the elephants. In our case that meant loading up in the back of a truck, driving 15 minutes to a farm, loading banana trees into the truck and then riding on top of the banana... More
