Beautiful small hotel in the middle of a dry nowhere, right at the border of a very big and open enclosure with elephants and gibbons, lovely staff, very good food and most of all: quite an experience

Wish I could give this place more stars. The lodge is clean, quiet, and amazing. Elephants come right to your balcony and feed in front. Many animals are rescued here, including the elephants, gibbons, macaques, Asian bears, and more. Staff take incredible care of all the animals. The food at the lodge is incredible and some of the best Thai food we’ve had. Edwin Wiek was very friendly and has a done an amazing job with the lodge and rescue center. Best place to stay in Thailand!

Amazing place doing wonders to help elephants and all kinds of animals in rehabilitation and rehoming. 100% worth the visit!

Run by the equally excellent Wildlife Friends Foundation of Thailand, this lodge is a must(h) for anyone who truly loves and respects elephants, and wildlife in general. I don't know where to begin to describe the marvellousness of it. The rooms are luxurious, generously sized, with open-air showers in clean, modern bathrooms, and -- essential for so many of us -- 5G wifi. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, the breakfasts (and food in general) excellent. While all that is easily found elsewhere in Thailand and Asia, what makes this place unique is that you are truly a guest of the elephants, camping out in their backyard as it were. Namfon, Sriplueak and Dueanphen stop by repeatedly during the day and night to say hi and to check whether perhaps you have some fruit that needs eating. The whooping of the gibbons and the other jungle sounds all around will cleanse your soul of any urban debris, and the guided tour of the WFFT will alert you to how bad things really are for our world's wildlife. Learn what is done to elephants just so that we can ride on them or exclaim at them "painting" at one of the many other places that cater to elephant "lovers". By staying here, you are helping to counteract this, instead of inadvertently becoming part of the problem. Quite apart from having an absolutely incredible experience as you meet and learn the individual (usually tragic) stories of the elephants, gibbons, sun bears, leaf monkeys, cassowaries and and and. I'm delighted and grateful that staying in such a wonderful place can also mean ensuring a happier ending to these stories.

Magnifique nuit au milieu des éléphants !! Superbe parc et refuge pour tant d’animaux qui ont enfin retrouvé une vie heureuse !

Fantastic setting. Peaceful. Awesome. Staff are brilliant and lodges are clean, comfortable - food is prepared specifically for you. Honesty bar is a bonus. The animals are truly spectacular and focus your mind on the cruelty of man towards these beautiful creatures. Great for groups and families. Don’t just visit for the day stay for the overall experience well worth it.
