The tiger was very well cared for, had no unpleasant odor, and was very docile. Unexpectedly, besides taking photos with it, I was also allowed to pet it and walk around twice for video recording. The tiger cub was also quite large; as a 5-foot-2-inch tall woman, my vertical arm just reached its back when it walked. The instructor was very friendly, holding a handbag just in case.
The male tour guide was humorous and witty, a great storyteller, and very attentive to the tourists. All the places on the itinerary were worth visiting and had excellent shopping opportunities. The tour was only half a day, and they even kindly arranged for the driver to drop us off in the Neiman Marcus area in the afternoon, giving us time to plan other activities – that was fantastic!
Thank you so much for all members of Lanna elephant care !
It was such a joy spending time with cute and playful elephants for the first time in my life !
Guides are kind and helpful for taking pictures for me with elephants .
We enjoyed giving bananas to them ,walking together along the river with them and giving shower for them at the river . We had delicious pat thai watching elephants in the beautiful field in sanctuary. I’d love to come back again.
