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.

2.Erawan Waterfall and Elephant Care: Private Tour to Kanchanabur

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 339 reviews · from $227Top rated

Review of a private Bangkok day trip to Erawan Waterfall, the Death Railway, River Kwai Bridge, and an elephant rescue center.

“The tour was quite surprising as we expected the most spectacular impressions to come from the natural sites or historic attractions. At the end of the day, this was the visit in the elephants’ farm which made the tour. Elephant feeding and cleaning experience was unforgettable though we initially thought about skipping this point to spend more time at the waterfalls. Many thanks to our guide for her very good service! The tour would be 5-stars if not the car in which we were travelling. It had its bumpers completely used and we could literally feel every little stone on the road in our kidneys.”
