I used the pool bed seat for the morning meal. The 6000 Baht food and drink fee was enough, and I couldn't use it all up, but they checked it several times. Lockers are available for 200 Baht in cash. There is a morning menu in the morning, and I arrived at 9:30 and was able to order immediately. The seat fee is expensive, but it was a wonderful experience that I can't experience anywhere else.

It was a satisfying trip~ The pickup was about 15 minutes late, but the driver was kind and the hotel drop-off was good. We toured 5 islands and 6 points, and all 4 staff members who accompanied us with our guide Lily were all praised and the islands were beautiful. It was wonderful.

We really enjoyed the entire experience! The space was spacious and the canopy structure was really well made for visitors to observe the elephants. Even though we opted for the canopy walk tour only, our guide Anny actually brought us down, allowing us to watch the elephants from a closer but still safe distance from the elephants. We were also quite impressed at how all the guides seem to recognise every elephants in the sanctuary and shared with us the history of the elephants. Highly recommend this tour! Although it's a bit pricey, but can see how the money truly goes to the maintanance of the place (they are building a new hospital for the elephants) and taking care of the elephants :)
