Ethical elephant sanctuary, Doi Inthanon summit views, and a waterfall trek, all with pickup, lunch, and a hill-tribe coffee stop.

“We really enjoyed the activities. We saw lots. The trek was fab with amazing views. However the van we travelled in was awful - the shock absorbers were broken which made for a very very bumpy & uncomfortable journey. This ruined the end of the trip. If the tour provider upgraded the van, I would definitely give it higher rating. I would ask about the van you will be transported in prior to booking this tour.”

If the animals do not trust the people when the get sick no body can help them because they will get mad with people around. So is better to get around them and touch…”
