We definitely recommend visiting this place. You will meet people for whom caring for elephants has become a life mission. Thank you Mr. Noy for a wonderful and intense experience. 11 out of 10 elephants recommend :).
The meals were great. 2 different meals for the full day trek and a great vegetarian selection for the vegetarians of the group. We all left very full. The elephants also seemed to enjoy the bananas and ears of corn we fed them.
The treks with the elephants was very relaxed and a nice easy pace. Plenty of time for photos with the elephants. The guide and handlers were very gentle and patient with the elephants. If the elephants hesitated in crossing a stream for a drink it just meant more time for photos.
We were able to pass by the beautiful and isolated Tad Kuang Song waterfall along the way with the full trek. Just another bonus of the journey.
We all recommend the Mandelao elephant treks.
