This was a great trip. Our tour guide Pipop was great. He had lots to show and talk about. We never felt rushed. The elephant experience was a highlight as was swimming at the falls. We had an excellent lunch, better than some restaurants we have eaten at in Bangkok. Next time in Bangkok we would happily take a tour with Pipop again.

A perfectly condensed trip to experience the natural beauty and places of Thailand. Excellent driver and very knowledgeable tour guide. Waterfall and elephants were amazing. Bring a towel and shoes/flip flops that can get wet!

We had the most fantastic day. Nui was our driver, the vehicle was clean and comfortable and well driven. Yokie was our guide, she was very helpful, friendly and professional. The day was amazing, so much to see and do, and all kept on schedule while feeling leisurely and at our own pace. The lunch was fantastic, the best Thai coconut soup I’ve ever tasted, and the banana fritters are to die for. The elephant experience was out of this world, feeding, washing, cuddling these beautiful beings. We highly recommend this tour, it’s an amazing and personal experience that you’ll never forget.

Great trip. The falls are beautiful and a great way to “get your steps” in and personally experience the beautiful Thai countryside

Despite heavy flooding at the Elephant rescue center - our guide was able to get operator to get us meet one of the elephants and feed a lot of watermelon

Peter was great. He was very informative and had a great personality. The waterfall's were a good hike and feeding the elephants was great experience.

The trip was outstanding and better than expected. Our guide “Guitar” was great. Not only did he handle all tour matters but took photos and video for us and sent them to us after the trip. He was very knowledgeable of all areas visited and the areas we drove through in the trip. We were picked up in a luxury modified van with air conditioning and reclining leather seats. In addition to our guide Guitar, we also had a driver. We visited all of the sites mentioned in the trip decription and we were very pleased with the entire tour and would highly recommend it to those visiting Bangkok!!

The waterfall was not exactly as in the picture advertised although the place could still be called ‘beautiful’.
Access to the waterfall swimming area is rather steep, a little difficult and not very safe. I wish the government made it more accessible so people of all ages could enjoy.
The guide was pleasant, experienced, friendly and patient and the vehicle was comfortable. The driver was friendly n a safe driver.

Such an incredible trip! Our tour guide and driver were so friendly. She provided an excellent time. She arrived promptly at 06:30 in the lobby of our hotel. The van was clean and all to ourselves. The guide and driver were so kind and accommodating! Our favorite part of the trip was visiting the waterfall and seeing the elephants. Visiting with the elephants was relatively quick. I would recommend you pack and extra set of clothes because the elephants will you get wet (despite not planning to get in the river). We were dropped off at a very clean restaurant for lunch. Cannot emphasis cleanliness enough.
The ride back was supposed to be 3.5 hours, but due to the rain/flash flooding, ended up taking 5 hours. Be prepared and pack a book or entertainment for these unexpected delays. Traffic in Bangkok was an absolute nightmare.
Good tour, just have entertainment for the long ride!

Excellent tour. We were looked after very well and had a complete informative tour. Would recommend. Great driver and guide. Lunch was great.

That was a great trip. The journey was long, but we had a good driver and guide. Krit had a very good knowledge about everything.
The van was comfortable, lunch was delicious, and the places were amazing.
I highly recommend this trip. It was worth the price.

Had an amazing time on this tour - the elephant sanctuary is a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide Nan was so knowledgeable and assured us we can visit all the sites at our own pace, whether that was quick or slow. We spent a lot of time swimming at Erawan falls, the water was cool but relaxing. It is a long drive home, but absolutely worth it in my opinion.

Great day abs well worth a visit. It’s a lot if travelling from Bangkok to the locations but it was something we wanted to do. We was not disappointed and Peter our guide and our driver were great company for the full day (12 hours in total) The good thing is …you can catch up on some sleep during travelling time as the transportation is very comfortable and cool

Highly recommend! Bao was able to answer all our questions and give us a glimpse into Thailand culture. She was a delight and made our day extra special

An excellent tour, thanks to our tour guide “Bella”. She was knowledgeable and cared for all our needs. The lunch buffet was of good standard as well with a very nice selection. My mother and I enjoyed the experience / day very much (from the famous bridge over river Kwai, the waterfalls and national park, death railway and elephant sanctuary visit). We learned a lot about the tragic history around the railway construction and Japanese invasion shortly after Pearl Harbor. I am grateful for this newly acquired knowledge. Once again, thank you Bella!

Definitely the highlight of our trip! Our tour guide Nan made it extremely special and unforgettable. The trip provided a little bit of everything from history, wildlife, and overall engagement. Highly recommend if anyone is looking for a day trip away from the bustling city.

A memorable day trip. Erawan National Park and waterfalls were especially beautiful. Our guide, Daranee, went above and beyond to accommodate our interests. She even arranged a gluten free lunch at a restaurant near the waterfalls and our bus driver had an ice bin full of water bottles, welcome after walks to the waterfalls and Hellfire Pass. A lovely end to our holiday in Thailand.

Excellent tour, we have been assisted by Addy Fox, who brought valuable information about the temples as well as the local culture and how they connect to the local habits

Private tour was excellent but wished water would have been available in the van during the ride as this was a full day tour.

Wonderful City! Loved every site in Bangkok, especially the street food. Felt very safe and at home there. Looking forward to going back next month.

Unbelievable experience! Charlie, our guide, and their handlers were kind & knowledgeable! We could not have been happier in our adventure!

Excellent guide and the places that we visit were amazing. The guide was super friendly and kind. We did everything that was described in the trip. The transportation was comfortable and safe.

Didn’t go. Received two confirmation emails advising us of pick up time of 6.30am. Woke up early and excited and waiting for car. After 30mins, contacted company to be advised they had cancelled our booking. No reasons given, just told to check the website. When asked if they had anyone available they said they were booked out. I guess that was the reason. Double checked and never received an email to advise they cancelled the booking the day before. Now I have to chase the bank to get a refund of over $500usd for a 3 person booking. Will also be leaving BKK in 2 days so won’t get a chance to see it. Absolutely shocking. Don’t bother with these people.

We did this with a couple of business friends. It was a great day. The waterfalls were the highlight. Just amazing - If you love nature, you'll love this.

The Elephant Haven was good, but having visited Lek Chailert's Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai. It felt a bit rushed and like the elephants weren't treated very well. They weren't roaming free and were forced to do tricks and pose for photos by the water. My past experience in Chiang Mai was very different (free-roaming elephants who can do what they want).

It's a long day: over 12 hours. More than half of this time is spent driving. The van was luxurious and comfortable.

We had a private tour and it is a bonus. From visiting the waterfalls and going for a swim, (the fish nibbling is an experience like no other). To visiting the associated 2nd WW sites ( Bridge over the River Kwai) and listening to the information from the guide. Then to finish the day with Elephant Care - so many incredible experiences in 1 day.

One of the best days of our trip. After a day working our way around congested Bangkok, it was a balm to the soul to take this trip out to the national park, swim in a series of gorgeous waterfalls, then visit the elephants. The surrounding area is beautiful and was a perfect capstone for the last day of our trip. Our guide, Prit, was fantastic. The van was clean and comfortable. We were able to stop when we needed for convenience stops. Lunch was a good buffet at a really pretty restaurant.
We were all a little worried about the "hike" to the waterfalls, so for future readers here's the lowdown: You park and then walk a paved fairly flat trail about 300m to the first falls you can swim in (technically falls #2.) We went up to #3, paved, mildly inclined trail, and #4, (paved, much steeper with stairs.) We were there in November and the water was cool but very comfortable. There are changing rooms at level #2. It's definitely more on the "we have infrastructure out in nature" side than the "you're hoofing it thru undeveloped jungle."
The elephants have the potential to get you very wet, which they know. We were given heavy weight cotton dark blue pj type shorts and shirts to wear, along with flip flops. They'll keep your clothes and shoes in a basket for your. Go commando and keep your undies dry, or bring a second set. There are changing rooms and showers with towels, shampoo and soap available. We were soaking wet by the time we got out of the river with elephants. We gave one of the workers a phone from the group and he took continuous pictures and video, which was a bonus. We had a great time and got some fabulous pictures.
Definitely take this tour, you won't regret it!

Our experience was so amazing with the history of the bridge, Erawan waterfall, and our favorite the Elephant Sanctuary visit. Ken was great and very knowledgeable on everything. I appreciate that he took his time to take a picture for us and that he had fun with us too. Thank you Ken and Fred our driver. He got us safe to our destination. Ken I would recommend you the next time we do another tour in Thailand. We loved every moment. Thank you Debbie

Our tour guide Rung was really good. The day felt chill while also productive. We appreciated that the planning of the day had avoided peak timing of massive crowds. Would recommend this !

Really lovely day and very kind people. They really care about the elephants and it’s all very authentic and interesting. Highly recommend

It’s nice if you don’t have a car. If you do and don’t mind driving, this trip isn’t worth your money. The trip allows very limited time to explore each spot, and the tourist doesn’t speak very good English nor has more information than what a quick cursory Google search has to offer. The lunch arranged was not particularly great which was evidenced by the complete lack of customers despite the lunch hour.

Awesome experience to interact with these magnificent creatures. They let us see them in their natural environment while allowing us to experience them in their environment in a save manner.

Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the temples and about the area. These were very unique temples unlike others we have seen.

I would recommend you use the Golf Buggy to get you too the first waterfall & if you have time and the stamina visit all 7 levels of the waterfall.

Prakob was a wonderful guide and the highlight of the day was definitely the hike up erawan falls. Bring a towel bc they have shower rooms at the bottom to change after a swim. The trip to/from Bangkok took about 3 hours each way so be prepared for that. The elephant park was my least favorite bc the elephants are clearly trained to cater to tourists for photo opportunities. They seemed to be more interested in the business of tourism there than providing a sanctuary for animals. It was more like a zoo with trained elephants to do tricks. But the cave temple at Burma railway was very cool. Overall it was a fantastic outing and customer service with my guide and chauffeur was top notch.

This is possibly the best tour I have done in Thailand. Our guide Rung was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Rung treated us like her family and was fun. Thankyou Rung. Highly recommend 👌

I admit I was getting tired of visiting Wats. However, this was one of our last in Bangkok and I am SO happy we saw it. Absolutely the best! One of the guards also offered to take some pictures of me with my son, when he saw we were alone. Truly not to be missed!

Our family of five (3 teens) absolutely loved this tour. Our guide Khun Krit was fabulous and so helpful. We visited the Bridge over the River Kwai first, then the elephants, then lunch and finally the beautiful Erawan waterfalls. We loved everything but the highlight was the elephants. We fed them watermelon and elephant “sushi” which was fun and then the beautiful elephant Ploy came down to the river with us for a bath. It was an unforgettable experience to be so close to these majestic animals. Highly recommend.

This trip was so amazing and everyone was so nice to us
The elephants were great and so lively and sweet
This was one of the best days I had here in Thailand hands down
Would definitely do it again

We had an amazing experience with the elephants. Everything was very laid back and we went with what the elephants wanted. The elephants and their carers obviously have a mutual respect and our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. He always made sure our daughter was safe and able to join in. An unforgettable experience. It was so fun.

This was an amazing experience. My driver was on time and worked hard to make sure I was comfortable for the whole trip. He even bought me a tasty snack to try on the way. The guides at the elephant sanctuary were all really nice, especially the lead gentleman, Patrick. It was a beautiful experience with the animals. I had lots of close up time to feed, play and wash the elephants and they were wonderful to be around. Very gentle and majestic animals.

This trip was amazing! You must book! Our tour guide, Krit, looked after us from the moment he picked us up until dropping us off back at our hotel. The trip is organised perfectly, with great time to rest between stops. The lunch provided is fantastic with a range of options. The driver, Chat, was also great.

The elephants, waterfall and experience at the bridges is an experience we will always remember.

Everyone most book this trip!

E had a great day out. Lots of fun at the waterfall and then on to Hellfire pass where we learnt lots. Our guide was very knowledgable and accommodating and we came off the highway so we could see the local villages and more of the countryside.

Visiting the river Kwai was good. Then getting in it and washing an elephant was brilliant. Trekking up the waterfalls was the icing on the cake. Our guide was very helpful and really knowledgable. If you can spare a day in Thailand, you must do this trip.

Fantastic guide and the waterfall is amazing, lots of walking uphill but worth the view, great place to have a swim.

A lovely day spent with the lovely ladies who call the sanctuary home. It was so relaxing and calm. The contact with the elephants was amazing. Take spare clothes the elephants love to share the mud. The staff are lovely and so kind.

A bucket list adventure. An experience that will stay with me forever. Connect with elephants living in the most natural environment doing what elephants naturally do. No rides or tricks for entertainment purposes. The happiest and most friendly elephants we have ever spent time with. An experience for everyone.

This was a tremendous experience for myself and my grandson. We took a private car from our hotel and it was great, the driver and guide were so helpful and kind. When we arrived we were welcomed and assigned to a group and took off with the elephants! The camp is beautiful and all of the people there were great. Interacting with the elephants was so much fun. We fed them, did a mud spa and finally swam with them. Again the guides at the camp were just great with my grandson, encouraging him to get up close with the elephants and swim out in the river. He did not want to leave!

I recommend this trip for people who's looking for a luxury tour,this the best tour ever.
First:our tour starts at 06:30,our amazing tour guide Mr SOMSAK AND MR MARK(Driver) were down at reception at 5:45 so punctual and professionnel people , after a very warm welcome from their side ,I was amazed by the luxury air conditioned car,extremely clean,nit and well maintained.
Mr SOMSAK SPEAKS FLUENT ENGLISH WITH A HUGE KNOWLEDGE OF THAI HISTORY CULTURE AND A PERFECT COTOMER SERVICE, SO FRIENDLY ,CHEERFUL AND VERY HELPFUL PERSON.
MR MARK DROVE ALL DAY LONG VERY SMOOTHLY AND SAFELY FOR 600 KM,THE CAR WAS PROVIDED WITH WATER AND COLD LOTIONED TOWELS DURING THE WHOLE TRIP.
SPECIAL THANKS FOR THOSE 2 PEOPLE WHO MADE OUR TRIP SO SUCCESSFUL,I WOULD LOVE TO GO to go to another trip with them in the future.
I recommend this tour for people who are looking for perfection.

All four major stops on this tour were great but the guide offer much more information, depth and context, as we’re traveled for around six hours to get to all great sights and experiences. We saw the Bridge Over River Kwai, the Erawan Water Fall, Elephant preserve and Death RailRoad with a visit to the cave.

Recommend the trip and the guide. Great day and experiences.

An amazing day out with the informative and very lovely Pipop. Before we even went he had organised the day before with the hotel for them to make us a packed breakfast as it is an early start a but so worth it. He then flipped the itinerary so that we would do the waterfalls last as a refreshing way to end what would inevitably be a hot and humid day. Off we set - first stop a coffee shop to take the edge of two teenagers with jet lag - iced coffees to hand - first official stop ‘the bridge’. Set in beautiful countryside it makes it more difficult to imagine the horrors that both the allied prisoners of war and Romusha suffered. Closing my eyes made it easier - utterly overwhelmed, I ended up in full on tears which made walking across a little hairier than it needed to be. On to a little further along ‘Death Railway’ to view how it hugs the edge of the ridge and snakes out before you. Alongside a serene ‘temple’ in a cave in the rock face which when you are standing in you can view, in utter contrast, the railway before you. On to Hellfire Pass - what can one say - the Australians together with the Thai Government have done the memory of those that were lost, or who made it through the suffering and came home, proud. A really lovely museum - watch the short film - it is utterly worth spending the time doing so. There are two walks you can do from there - a 1hr walk and a 3hr - the 1hr takes you down through enough and is relatively easy although it starts and ends with steps so be warned on the thigh burn. It was all redone in the 80’s after a former Australian POW persuaded both governments that the elements of the Burma Railway should be preserved. Thank goodness he did, it is all very moving as well I imagine providing somewhere for people to visit to bring closure. On a practical note the toilet facilities are great and there is a water refueling station. Final stop Erwan Falls - 7 levels to climb if you are of that mindset - however levels 1,2 and 3 are good for swimming - tho you have to hire a life jacket. Pool two has some very friendly fish who will help with your pedicure! Watch out for the bigger ones!!! 12 hours door to door but worth every single minute. Pipop was utterly delightful and really knowledgeable and helpful so be sure to ask for him and you will not be disappointed. Thank you Pipop!

Fantastic tour. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The elephant sanctuary and waterfalls were particularly special. Highly recommended but be prepared for a 3-4 hour return trip in the car.
