Let me start by saying, it’s not my first time to do an elephant interaction in nature, so I am able to compare and contrast. The booking process is efficient, you fill A google survey through their website, and they contact you with an email and price quotation, and you can confirm your reservation that way. There are different packages to choose from including half and full days, with and without transportation from your hotel if you are in Kanchanaburi. We paid 1800 baht per person including transportation, a small buffet lunch upon arrival (no chance to opt out, so avoid having breakfast before going), and entrance. Once you arrive, you are assigned A guide, but you are pooled with other groups as you perform the activities, so it doesn’t feel personalized at all. That being said, you get to do All the basic stuff such as feeding elephants watermelon from a platform (feed him to his trunk not in his mouth (My hand got chewed by an elephant and it really swelled and hurt for 2 days). You also get to cut some grass for them in a field using primitive tools, feed them rice balls, and then play in the mud with them, and shower them in the river. Overall, fun but not personal! The lunch buffet is not that good, and they force you to have it upon arrival (1 hour. Lost)

I totally disagree with those who say that animal welfare is not respected. First of all, I did not see any ill-treatment of these animals (on the contrary) or any trace of ill-treatment. They are domesticated elephants and not wild. I don't think it would be torture to make them swim and water the few tourists present, especially when you know the pleasure that an elephant has to go for a dip... The urban sensitivities of eco-friendly bobos should be reasoned with the realities of animal life. Our cows or horses in France are often treated worse than these elephants there ... we still have to get out of his city. I enjoyed cooking the rations of the 83 years old grd mother elephant who has no tooth and who without the help of her cornac or tourists passing by, would have died of non-feeding. I had fun cutting sugar canes (real candy for elephants) to feed some young elephants ... anyway, I spent a great day in this center.

We deliberately decided to stay at Elephantsworld for 3 nights / 4 days (write an email) to get a deeper insight into life with/with the elephants. And it was wonderful! Not only did we have a spacious cabin with fantastic river views to ourselves. Our assigned tour guide "Chang" was always on hand, spoke good English and made everything possible for us. In addition to the program of preparing elephant food, feeding and bathing, there was a trip to the water buffalo as well as a wonderful kayak trip on the river, also a table tennis game was there. We were able to engage with the elephants during the 4 days quite relaxed without the day guests and learned a lot about them. Especially that Asian elephants are such good swimmers, I did not know. They like to go into hiding with their whole body, which was nice to watch, even from our terrace. It was cooked every day for us, great freshly prepared food and all the staff were very open-minded and helpful. A great experience, especially to witness the harmonious interaction of mahout and elephant, I really liked! Definitely recommended to spend at least 2 nights there! Thanks to the whole team.

I booked direct with the official website and got confirmation with clear info about our trip and cost. We are a family of 5 and there is a discount on our 2 younger kids. My enquiry messages are replied very quickly. On the day before the trip we got further confirmation of pick up point. Our driver Siri arrived 5 min before the agreed time and he drove us to destination with lots of introductions about Thailand, Bangkok and regions beyond. The whole day program is exactly what says on the tin. Everything went perfectly with a relaxing pace. Elephants are cared for ethically and you can feel the love in the community. Our children were looked after and helped in all the feeding activities and lake bath activities. Lunch was simple but nice. The whole environment feels so clean and calm. Gift shop is lovely. Shower facilities are basic but clean. Very well organised.

It was really great! I went there with my sister (reservation on GetYourGuide), we were picked up by a driver in Kanchanaburi for 8:30 a.m. to go to ElephantsWordl, the welcome was super warm, Eda took great care of us. directly placed in trust with the elephants. We started the day by feeding the elephants (we had boxes with turnips, watermelons and bananas to give them directly through their trunks). Then we went to cut bamboo which we then gave to the elephants. The staff always offered to take photos of us to keep lots of memories! This was followed by the preparation of food for the old elephants (it was bouillabaisse) Afterwards we went with them into the boiling water to dirty them. Right after we took them into the river to wash them using brushes, water fights followed with Mana one of the guides, we were able to cuddle them and clean them, it was really great! The morning ended with a little motorbike ride with Zéro (we were privileged haha) and a really good meal in front of the river! Thanks to the reservation on GetYourGuide we were able to go to the Erawan waterfalls, the climb to the 7th level took us around 28 minutes on military march. The view is worth it, but level 1 is still the nicest even if there are a little more people than on the 7th! I really advise you to do the elephant activity which is really great, they are treated really well and the staff is great (we enjoyed it so much that we left them each a tip!)

Happy elephants Spent like 4 hours at the shelter They came to us to eat We fed them parsnip and water melon The guide took plenty of photos for us he was really funny too And then we chopped leaves for them and made banana nutritious food with vitamins and fed an elephant I really enjoyed bathing them. That's when I felt the biggest connection The elephant were calm and friendly and funny. I wish I had more time

We planned our trip and didn't know so much about the Elphant World before but were really excited. Away from the front, of course, tourists are also here but without tourists this resort could not be operated for the animals. Our guide Kehm was able to tell us a lot and answer almost all questions. The program is well thought out and planned the animals have a maximum of 5 hours a day program after which they have their rest. The resort is a catchment point for working elephants who had to work in the forest or at the Circus, as well as outcast elephants and mounts of the time. Here, it is not ridden but cared for. This includes collecting food to prepare washing and scrubbing. On the whole very nicely groomed animals friendly staff great facility. We were happy!

At first we booked from Denmark and everything was confirmed, But the people at elefant Worldtrade forgot to send a car for pickup. When we arriwed at the Elefant world, we had a very good experimce, we cut grace for the Elefants(Take Care the grase are Sharp). Then we went Down to feed the Elefants, an give Them a bath in mud. They enjoied it really much and after the mud bath They where washed in the river.

We had a great time there with kids. We enjoyed the elephants and taking care of elephants. It looks like they treat elephants there like very dear pets. The place is very tranquil. Our guis was very nice and very informative. We recommend this place to everyone who cares about enimals

Amazing morning with the elephants. The whole area was amazing. From the staff member who picked us up at our hotel, to our guide at the park, the elephant handlers and all the other staff. Elephant World is week worth the visit,couples , families, those travelling solo. We have to elephants in Chang Mai and Pattaya, this would have to be the best experience.
