Beautiful elephant experience, very rich and nice, I would do it again
absolutely wonderful experience - our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly - good walking shoes are a must - an ethical experience
we just returned from the sanctuary - our guide YAYA was absolutely brilliant - she really conveyed the care for the elephants and was enthusiastic and helpful. choosing the correct footwear is key, preferably a shoe that holds the foot, can get wet (particularly if you do the rafting) and can also handle the uneven walking. the sanctuary was explained fully and we really got up close to the elephants who are clearly adopted by their handlers - well done Pon elephant sanctuary
Great day with Ronnie and Mr Aom (excellent driver). The sticky waterfalls were fantastic and completely doable (go in the morning to avoid crowds). The Buo Tang Cave was a peaceful stop, and the Golden Pagoda was worth a viewing, and the view of Chiang Mai city was panoramic. Ronnie was engaging and helpful, and took many photos.
Great day had , Jimmy our tour leader was fantastic & gave us all a lovely happy day ! Elephants were lovely & very well looked after .
It was a very good experience,very satisfied
My husband and I booked Pon directly on their website and chose the Elephant, waterfall tour. Amy at Pon was a great, considerate and funny guide, giving us background of the places we go to and shared her personal stories. We got picked up right at our hotel. We really enjoyed the waterfall and spending time with the elephants. Before we book, we made sure it's a ethical one, and are pleased to find the elephants so enjoying themselves and are well taken care of. We also really appreciate that Amy helped us take our photos (and tried the best to get good ones!) and took care of our dietary needs as vegans.
This was an amazing way to see Doi Sutep and visit the sticky waterfalls. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to visit these two places. Our tour guide, Paul, was very knowledgeable, friendly, professional and could speak English well. We liked being able to go at our own pace and appreciated being able to change our lunch destination which was one of our favorite places to eat! Thank you for the memorable experience.
Temple experience was great. Meh to the sticky falls. Crowded and too touristy overall, not really worth the long trip to get there.
Paul was a great guide all along. Very knowledgeable and very enjoyable person. Had a great day. Thank you
