They helped everyone in the group get the photos that they wanted and Paul acted as a personal photographer for the group! The elephants were incredible and it was so cool to see how well they responded to the sanctuaries crew of men. If we ever return to Chiang Mia, we will do this tour again!”

One there we dipped in the water and enjoyed a snack and the view. After a lovely lunch we headed for the water rafting activity. A lot of supporting staff, attention to detail and security, ensuring we were all aware…”
