1. Walking the elephants to the forest
In wet season our elephants sleep and eat in the forest. Staying overnight will allow you to walk the elephants out into the forest at the end of the day with the mahouts and get up early the next day to bring them back in before the day’s activities begin. In dry season you can take a walk with the elephants in the morning.

2. Hiking to the top of a mountain
Follow one of the mahouts to the top of the mountain. Everybody can climb these mountains and enjoy the view and look to the other side. It is 100 Baht per person and this is a tip for our mahout that you can give to him by yourself.

In the early morning you can observe a lot of beautiful birds next to our river.

We loved it! On arrival there an elephant freely walked past us alone! They are a rescue park and do a great job! You can feed the elephants, prepare a food for them, bathe them. The best thing is after departure of daily visitors - you can go alone to the elephants, also during the night. Next morning we walked one of them to the river and bathe her. We also went floating on the river Kwai - it is amazing! With all the jungle around! The place where we spent a night was one of the nicest on our trip, with the view on the river and jungle, big terrase and nice shower. The food was delicious! Elephants World was a highlight of our trip! I would recommend to stay overnight, because you need some time to adapt to this big animals.

This review is for the one day trip to Elephant world, there wasn't a tab for this on TripAdvisor! Sadly disappointed, arrived and we were given no information about the park, no history, ethos, aims or any information about any of the Elephants. Led straight into feeding them, which was fun, we then proceeded to walk to another part of the park to carry on feeding them and interacting with them, again a nice thing to do, the handlers were friendly and when asked did give information, however this was very limited. We made soft food for an elderly elephant that was without teeth and later fed her, again a lovely thing to do, along with getting into the river and scrubbing them with a brush. On walking about the park, during the the lunch break I was upset to see at the back of the park an elephant chained to a tree, later when we were taken there they had been released. My main upset and concern was when a trainer (their words not mine) began to get the baby elephant to drop down to his knees in front of the tourists, this elephant had clearly been trained to do this, both myself and another guest were alarmed and asked them to stop, this is clear exploitation and something to entertain the tourists, these magnificent animals are supposed to be being cared for in their natural environments not there to amuse the tourists, Why is this allowed to happen? We were also informed that at night they are all chained up as they might escape into a farmers field and they will get fined, why not build an enclosure, where they can roam free, I understand this may be costly, however chaining them is surely not something that can be continued long term? On another note, there were dogs wandering around, two of these dogs urgently need veterinary treatment, one brown one had a bad limp and another small one, was so matted he could hardly walk and was clearly in great distress and was biting and scratching himself constantly. There was a glass donation box requesting money for dog food, could this not be used to fund medical care for them? It was a distressing trip in regards to animal welfare and conservation, however the handlers were friendly and approachable, I think with correct in-depth training and understanding in regards to animal care and the conservation of these great animals, things could be improved. It would also be beneficial from both a financial view for the park and for education if a small talk at the beginning of the tour could be provided, giving people information in regards to the park and its history and aims, along with info about each elephant. It might also be a good idea to offer adoptions of the elephants, providing yearly information as a way to increase funding?
