We liked the bridge on the quay best. Unfortunately we had almost no time here, we were only able to take a photo and then we continued straight away. Unfortunately, we learned almost nothing about th (Read More)e story. The waterfalls were beautiful, that was definitely the highlight! The food was also extremely tasty. Our guide was very nice, but gave us almost no information and we definitely expected more. In our opinion, the elephant feeding could have been omitted. They were tied to chains that were less than 1m long and obviously didn't get enough food. They were emaciated and were apparently not kept in a species-appropriate manner. It looked pretty desolate there and had a sad aftertaste. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio was not right for a private tour. Although it should be mentioned that the van looked very new and was comfortable.

The waterfall was amazing, I had so much fun. I wish I could interact more with elephants. I was sad to see a 4yr old elephant was chained and seems like not happy.

The Erawan park is beautiful. It is a long drive but it is worth it. Not much water this period of the year but still enjoyable. The park is clean and well organized. The elephant farm is that a farm. (Read More) Something like a petting zoo, the elephants are chained. They look well kept but still… The baby elephants are cute of course
