Road up is winding but did not feel nervous at all when you get to top you get on a 4×4 for about 5 minutes to see elephants it's rocky. Then we met shay and shy.Shy was very informative and had great knowledge of elephants he answered every question. Then we fed the elephants which was great you could not touch them .the hike was fine but wear hiking boots or non slip runners…”

Ethical half-day at Big Boy Elephant Sanctuary near Doi Inthanon, feed elephants, make vitamin balls, then cook Pad Thai from scratch.

“Big Boy Sanctuary is wonderful! The morning was very well organised with nice tasks of preparing a meal for the elephants and then delivering their meal. You can get close the elephants but the sanctuary is very ethical and you cannot touch them. This was so reassuring. I cannot recommend this trip enough!”
