バンコク発エラワン滝と象の世話 - プライベートツアー

The day was an unreal experience. Pick up from hotel was on time and our driver Siri was very helpful and friendly all day. We arrived at the elephant sanctuary and was to a one on one hand feed with two elephants before being taken to the remaining park. Siri also took plenty of pictures of us so we can remember the experience. After that we were driven to the water falls for a hike and swim. I would strongly recommend and absolutely loved our time with Siri.

The experience was unreal. We got picked up from our hotel on time and taken to the elephant sanctuary. It was an unforgettable experience and the lunch was amazing. After that, we headed to the water falls for a much needed swim. Our tour guide Siri was very helpful and friendly and made the day so much fun. He also took a lot of photo for us through out the day.

We had Krit as our driver/guide for the day. He showed up promptly at 0550 for a 0600 pick-up. He had neck rests available for the long ride and we were in a comfortable vehicle. Along the way he was more than happy to stop when needed for coffee or restrooms . First stop was the elephant sanctuary, which was very well kept, having elephants roaming free on their property. I found it to be a great experience, having the guide get us there earlier than the group tours allowed us to play with their 2 week old baby elephant for a while prior to meeting up where the other guests were gathered. The sanctuary provided an excellent thai lunch buffet. Next we went to erewan waterfalls park. It is a very nice park that is well kept. The hike is about 3km total round trip. For both of these events you will want to have swimming clothes to change in to and possibly another extra shirt for after the hike if you are sweaty like I am. On the way home Krit was even gracious enough to stop at a detour so we could grab a hand made monk bowl in a different neighborhood of Bangkok.

This is a bucket list item in Thailand for sure! We were up close and personal with so may beautiful elephants, and we got to see their brand new baby Mes̄ʹāyn at just 3 days old! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, and you can tell they have a true passion for teaching people about the elephants. Having a private guide/driver is a must if visiting from the Bangkok area. 10/10 experience!

Wonderful experience with the elephants. A highlight of our trip! The waterfalls were not running fast because it is dry season. That was a bit disappointing.

This isn’t a private tour. This is just a driver (who doesn’t speak English very well) picking you up from your hotel and taking you to Elephants world and then waterfall. She drops you off, waits for you to finish your activity, drives you to the next one, and then takes you back to the hotel. The driver maybe spoke 5 words the entire time because of language barrier. The car ride was silent at all times, she didn’t even offer to play music. The elephants world was a great experience (which has nothing to do with this “private tour”) - book it directly through the elephant world website. It’s 1800 TBH per person on the website and it includes transportation to the sanctuary. That’s $52.76 USD per person - $105.50 per couple. The waterfall entrance fee is 200 THB per person which is $8.79 USD per person - $17.58 per couple. In total both things add up to $123.10, for two people. I paid $366.52 for this tour - so they pocketed $243.42 USD - 8,288.73 Thai Baht. If you’re going to charge that much and make that much money off people, at least hire a driver who speaks good English, who’s outgoing, and knows Thai history so that she can tell the people (tourists) cool facts while driving to the two places. I paid for a full day private tour in Bangkok and it was a completely different experience. The guide stayed with us the entire time, took tons of great pictures of us, spoke great English, told us a ton of history of the places we visited. That was worth the extra money. This wasn’t. Do not book with this company unless you wanna pay for an overpriced taxi driver who can’t even communicate with you.

It was an amazing experience! We loved it! Our guide/driver Siri was great. I would highly recommend this experience and him.

It is another place where you can be close to elephants and beautiful nature. I recommend that many friends come and visit.
