Feed, walk with, and bathe rescued elephants at Living Green Sanctuary, with lunch and round-trip transport from Bangkok.
“I was picked up in a good van. Our trip was nearly 3 hours due to heavy traffic but it was 100% worth the time. Our guide Lulu gave us a fantastic talk about the sanctuary and elephants there. We then had the opportunity to feed the elephants with bananas and sugar cane. Then we walked up the hill a bit to meet some of the elephants close up. Every elephant had her own keeper which felt very lovely. After that those who wanted went into the water with the elephants. At the end we were treated with a yummy PadThai. It was definitely a highlight on my time in…”

Review of Bangkok’s River Kwai day tour: WWII memorials, the Death Railway train, museum, bridge, lunch, timing, cost, and practical tips.

Review of Bangkok’s Damnoen Saduak floating markets tour, with long-tail boat rides, coconut sugar, practical tips, costs, and honest drawbacks.
“We were a couple and enjoyed the trip. As many reviews say, it is a nice tourist attraction, the whole floating market is for tourists, but you can bring back with you some souvenir, some coconut sugar and have a nice street food meal or desert (like mango or even durian with sticky rice). We had Ken as guide, which gave us some nice information along the way. The paddle boat at the floating market costs extra, 900 Baht, which the guide can book for you in advance. The hotel transfers where well done. For our hotel pick up, the car was there 10 minutes early.”
