The pick up service was very prompt, and we got straight out of the shuttle van and onto an elephant. The ride and the views were really nice, but our elephant was too tired or stubborn to carry us. He stopped every 10 feet, and our "driver" had to kick him and tap him with a pick (he didn't hit him hard though). After we got to feed our elephant for a few extra baht.

Good value for the money. The seats on the elephant need upgrading, strange sensation riding such a large animal - but fun.

If you are desperate to go on an elephant trek then I wouldn't try to put you off. However at these places, you can never be sure just how well the elephants are treated and as the journey is up and down hill, I didn't feel very safe coming down the steep slopes with no ropes to keep you in the seat.

It was more like an overgrown back garden than a jungle and i wasn't happy with the way the elephants were treated.
