点评:From the very first moment, Mr. Pon was extremely friendly and attentive. He takes you to the location and gives you the option to choose from different activities.
We started with a wonderful hike through the jungle, where Mr. Pon shared a lot of interesting details and pointed out so many cool things along the way. The trail leads to a stunning waterfall where you can go for a swim. It’s a truly beautiful spot and a very enjoyable walk.
Regarding footwear, it’s best to bring trail or hiking shoes that can get wet, if possible. I personally wore regular sports sneakers and had zero issues, as there are just a few short sections with a bit of water—just make sure not to go in flip-flops!
Next, we did white water rafting down the river, which was super fun and felt very safe. Along the river, we even saw elephants, water buffalo, and other animals. It’s a highly recommended experience, though there was also an option to do a bamboo rafting tour instead.
After rafting, we went to have lunch at a local spot. They provided free water, and other drinks were very cheap. The food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. Plus, you could get second helpings as many times as you wanted!
After lunch, they provide clean clothes if you want to change, as well as flip-flops. Then the experience with the elephants begins. You get to feed them, prepare special nutrient balls for them, and watch them bathe in the river. A special shout-out to one of the female guides who was super sweet and took incredible photos with my phone!
The elephants are in perfect condition and clearly well cared for; it’s obvious they are in great hands. The sanctuary is completely ethical, and anyone saying otherwise simply doesn’t know what they are talking about. Some elephants have a small wooden chime around their neck that makes a soft sound as they walk—this is purely so the staff can locate them, as they roam in total freedom. They are healthy, happy, and treated with deep respect.
Overall, the price doesn't even reflect how incredible this experience is. It has been the absolute highlight of our trip to Thailand and is extremely affordable for everything it includes. I recommend it 100%.
Once again, a huge thank you to the guides and especially to Mr. Pon. If you are having second thoughts about booking, don't think twice—just do it!
翻译:从一开始,庞先生就极其友善且体贴。他会带你去目的地,并让你从多种活动选项中进行选择。
我们首先进行了一次美妙的丛林徒步之旅,途中庞先生分享了许多有趣的细节,还指出了沿途的诸多精彩之处。这条小径最终通向一处迷人的瀑布,你可以在那里尽情游泳。那真是个风景如画的好地方,徒步过程也极其愉快。
关于鞋类选择……如果可以的话,最好带上能够沾水也不怕的登山鞋或徒步鞋。我个人穿的是普通的运动鞋,也完全没有出现问题,因为全程只有几小段路程会有一点水——不过切记可别穿人字拖去哦!
接着我们进行了漂流体验,真的非常有趣且格外安全。沿河行进时,我们甚至还看到了大象、水牛以及其他动物。这绝对是一次值得推荐的体验。虽然其实也有选择参加竹筏漂流 tour 的选项。
漂流结束后,我们去当地一家餐馆吃午饭。那里提供免费的水,其他饮料也极其便宜。食物非常美味,工作人员也格外友善、热情且体贴。此外,还可以随意添加食物,想吃多少都行!
午饭后,如果愿意换衣服的话,他们还会提供干净的衣物和拖鞋。随后,与大象的互动体验便正式开始。你可以亲自喂它们。为它们准备特制的营养球,然后看着它们在河里嬉戏。特别要表扬其中一位女向导,她人超级友善,还用我的手机帮我拍下了许多很棒的照片!
这些大象的状态极佳,显然得到了悉心照料;它们显然被照顾得无微不至。这个保护区的运作完全符合伦理规范,那些说不是这样的人根本就是不懂在说什么。有些大象的脖子上会戴着一个小木制铃铛,它们行走时会发出轻柔的声响——这么做纯粹是为了方便工作人员在它们自由活动时能找到它们。这些大象健康状况良好、生活愉快,还受到人们深深的尊重。
总的来说,这个价格根本体现不出这次体验有多么棒。它绝对是我们泰国之行的亮点所在,考虑到所包含的各项服务,这个价格也相当实惠。我百分百推荐它。
再次强调一遍。非常感谢各位导游,尤其要感谢Pon先生。如果您还在犹豫是否要预订,那就不要再犹豫了——果断下单吧!
