          Unforgettable Experience
          An amazing experience that we got to enjoy, all due to the wonderful work, that the staff do with these gorgeous animal’s, at the Sanctuary. Without them, these beautiful animals couldn’t survive in the conditions, that they were once accustomed too. Thank-you for your kindness!!!!

          An Elephant Extravaganza!
          This was an unforgettable experience. Mr Dang shared so much information and experience about the elephants. The bonding and feeding with the elephants was so amazing and washing them and playing in the water was the icing on the cake!

          A struggle to get in
          I arrived, had no reservation, asked if I could use the lounge, lady at desk said gave I got my number? I said what number, reservation number, I said no she said sorry can't come in. So I left and went to the information desk and asked where I can go and use a lounge they said go to Miracle, I said just come from there and said I need reservation, they said go back and say you are prepared to pay. So, I went back saw the same lady and said can I pay to come in, she said yes, why did she nit offer that option to me 1st time if asking??

          Amazing experience, would never visit a zoo but absolutely adore animals. The elephants seems to have a huge amount of space, well loved and cared for. No riding elephants! You can however give them a bath.

          Excellent experience. This is NOT a tourist attraction but rather a learning and development opportunity. The elephants are well cared for, respected and loved. Facilities are spacious with ample room to be free. The history and education was well appreciated.

          The Chaing Mai's Art In Paradise 3D Art Museum is something special.
          The Chaing Mai's Art In Paradise 3D Art Museum is something special. It is very nice to take special unique photos. A real recommendation if you want to see something special. We were there in the low season and there were few people, great. We spent 2.5 hours following the examples and making our own creations. Too bad you need a GSM 8Gb ram to be able to film the special effects. Only my GSM could view it and take photos (4Gb ram) but could not record the films. Too bad they did not provide anything for this. At the end is a special coffee bar and cake in a very special style. Great to photograph.

          Not to be trusted. False advertising. They will take you to Bukit mot Phuket ethical elephant sanctuary
          Disgusting company, booked through getyourguide, no mention of bukit elephant park, I booked Phuket elephantvreserve........ STOP MISLEADING CUSTOMERS WITH INCORRECT NAME. Call it bukit, then we know what we are getting instead of tricking people into believing its an accredited ethical sanctuary. Refund refused despite lies.

          Well worth the money
          Super find for our departure as the lounge was located right next to our gate D6. Really welcoming reception desk staff with good English. Lounge was bigger than expected but laid out in zones so always easy to find a quiet spot. There’s a self service bar area with spirits, multiple fridges with soft drinks and beers all with a good variety. Food at one end has hot meals, sandwiches, desserts, fruit, snacks. Other facilities include toilets, showers and live departures updates. Very happy with the experience for 1300 TBH (£29).

          What a great way to start the day!
          The thought with regard to maintaining the breathtaking view was evident during the design of the facility. Very user-friendly. Great place to sit have a cup of coffee and enjoy the view. Service was excellent. Food good. But you’re here for the view, which is absolutely breathtaking

        Not a good start after 10mins of waiting past pick up time had to call your operator and eventually they told me the driver would be an hour late!! Not ideal but was advised would still have the 8hours. Just ordered a drink at hotel lobby and then got a message to say driver arrived earlier than expected so was only 30mins late instead of 1hr which was good. Driver did not introduce himself or apologise for delay. Aware hired driver not a tour guide but had ZERO chat or conversation with us the whole day then at the end of the day got told we had to be back for a certain time which was less than the 8 hours we had paid for due to them being late !! Not happy with this and would have been nice to know his name. Would definitely recommend hiring private driver though over tour as was handy for where and when we wanted to go so would still recommend just don’t expect anything from driver and expect lateness !! Car was big and clean though but no water etc provided.

        I'm sorry to hear that your experience with the private driver didn't start off well due to the delay and lack of communication from the driver. It's important for drivers to communicate clearly with their clients and provide a level of professionalism and hospitality, even if they are not tour guides. It's also disappointing to hear that you didn't receive the full 8 hours you had paid for. I hope that despite these issues, you were still able to enjoy your day and visit the sights you wanted to see. Thank you for sharing your feedback and recommendations for others who may be considering hiring a private driver in the future.

        We hired the driver for 8 hours to visit viewpoints, Buddha, Old Town and other nearby attractions (shopping mall included). Dol, our driver was amazing. The car - Van was spotless. There was a cold water for us and snacks, phone chargers and wifi offered. Dol spoke basic english but understood what we would like to see and looked after us well. He drove very safe. He always offered to take photos for us and waited at the meeting point with cold bottled water. We managed to always get to the places of interest before the crowds, so well done Dol. This was definitely value for money.
        This is a hired driver so be prepared where would you like to go and make sure you research places.

        It sounds like you had a great experience with Dol as your driver. It's great to hear that he was attentive, helpful, and provided all the amenities you needed. It's also wonderful that he was able to take you to the attractions before the crowds arrived, allowing you to have a more enjoyable experience. Thank you for sharing your recommendation to do research beforehand on the places you would like to visit when hiring a driver. This is a great tip for anyone planning a similar trip.

        As we were booking this “tour” we were expecting a tour of phuket we haven’t experienced before. Upon commencement of the “tour” we learned that this is basically a 4 hour driver on hire to drive wherever we wanted to. The driver was on his phone the whole trip, hardly spoke any english and not once felt we were on a tour of phuket. He refused to drive to locations we requested due to the rain and suggested we go shopping. We did not pay premium prices to be dropped off at a shopping centre to walk around by ourselves. Very disappointed.

        Nice tour. I recommend it. I did the 4 hours tour.
        (+) helpful driver and great locations
        (-) impossible to do all the described program in the tour so you’ll pay for extra hours. Or from the beginning, take the 8 hours tour.

        Thank you for your review and recommendation of the tour. It's good to hear that you had a nice experience and found the driver to be helpful. It's also useful to note that the tour may require extra hours to fully experience all the locations listed, so taking the 8-hour tour may be a better option for some.

        We booked the private tour with driver spontaneously the evening before and everything went perfectly...from the reservation to the return to the hotel. We were super happy with our driver, Tum. He was on time (more like 15 minutes early) and was very friendly and helpful. We told him what we wanted to see and that we didn't want to go shopping, visit souvenir shops, visit factories or anything like that. This was respected and kept.

        We decided to book 8 hours because we wanted a relaxed day without rushing. It doesn't cost much more and we only do this tour once. In the end, however, we needed the whole time. We wanted to go to the Big Buddha, Wat Chalong Temple, Phuket Old Town, Windmill Viewpoint and finally to Laem Promthep for the beautiful sunset. We also visited a few other places along the way that Tum recommended to us. He also showed us and explained a few things along the way. We really appreciated that because he didn't have to do this, he was our driver not our guide.

        We can highly recommend the tour with Tum 😊

        The vehicle was great, the driver was nice, however, we were expecting a customized tour. We asked for a driver to take is on a tour with a focus on history and historical landmarks. Our first stop was a tourist trap Pearl factory where they just wanted to sell us stuff, which took up the first 2 hours of our “tour” with traffic to get there. Then he picked a completely inefficient route where we spent most of the time in traffic as he started take us past Old Phuket, where we really wanted to go, to see 2 other attractions then backtrack in the bad traffic to get there.

        The vehicle was beautiful. If you know where you want to go and plan your own itinerary, this is great, otherwise, if you’re looking for a customized designed tour by a local, this might not be the right option for you.

        Our tour guide Ras was amazing! He answered all our questions and planned out an itinerary that let us visit everything we wanted to see. Well worth the money, we had an entire air conditioned van to ourselves and we spent as much time as we wanted in each spot. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to explore the island!

        We booked the 6-hour tour at short notice and received immediate confirmation that everything was OK. On the day of the tour, we were greeted punctually and in a friendly manner by Dol, who really looked after us very well. In addition to water and delicious fruit, there was also WiFi, cell phone charging facilities and Dol drove the tour confidently and, above all, without rushing. We had a really great day and would like to say thank you again!

        This is a great idea. We were on honeymoon and our first adventure in Thailand. We booked the 4 hour tour, and they also do up to 8 hours. If you do want to extend the time once you're on your tour, you can at 500baht/£11, per hour. We chose the 8am pickup. The earliest they do is 7am. I would recommend an early start as it's so hot, and the traffic gets worse as the day gets on, which cuts into you time.
        We were picked up by Jo, our driver, on time from our lobby. He spoke good English and had a good understanding of English. Although the itinerary is set, Jo was happy to change it to wherever we chose. We drove through Patong with Jo showing and informing us of places to visit and eat at. We then went to Kamala and had a walk down the beach alongside the beach shacks. Beautiful vibe here.
        We then visited the old town of Patong for a walk around.. This is full of traditional houses full of colour. The shops here are a little bit more upmarket, more like boutique styles. Jo then took us to the largest temple in Phuket, which is in Patong, which is astounding. Although Jo was only paid for driving us around, he was very informative. Every where we went, he could answer our questions and also explained about the family Thai way of life compared to the western world.

        Thank you Jo you were amazing. Your service and attention to detail were impeccable. From being ready to whizz us off to the next location to the chilled water and flannels! 5* Jo!

It’s wonderful to hear how Jo went above and beyond to make your 4-hour tour so special, from his punctuality and flexibility to his knowledge of the local culture and way of life. Exploring places like Kamala Beach, Patong, and the largest temple sounds like a perfect introduction to Phuket, and Jo’s thoughtful touches like chilled water and flannels must have been so refreshing in the heat. We’re thrilled you had such an enjoyable adventure—Jo truly sounds like a 5-star guide! Wishing you many more amazing memories on your honeymoon and beyond! 💕🌴✨
