Thom's Pai Elephant Camp (Course : take care and bathing with them)

I visited the elephant camp today and was genuinely impressed. The elephants are treated with real care, patience, and respect. There are no rides, no shows, and no pressure on the animals — just calm interactions, plenty of space, and a wonderfully kind team that truly loves what they do. Some of the negative reviews seem to come from people who only saw the Welcome Area. This part is simply meant for a first, safe introduction — for the protection of both visitors and the elephants. The real experience begins afterwards: walking together, observing them at the river, and watching them bathe. That’s where you see how relaxed the elephants are and how naturally they can live. What impressed me the most is that the elephants sleep freely outside on the hills at night. It’s a clear sign of how much importance is placed on giving them a natural and good life. If you care about ethical and respectful treatment of animals, this place is absolutely worth visiting. A well-deserved 5 stars.

Best elephant camp / sanctuary in Thailand. This camp has 2 elephants (Ott & Tatdoh) who were inherited by Thom through her father. Both beautiful friendly and very happy elephants. No chains, no real time schedule- The tours will run late if the elephants aren't ready to move on 😂 Staff all very hospitable throughout our day & stay. We took tour 3A (Full day + accommodation) which included breakfast both days, lunch and drinks throughout the day. We were recommended a place for food 2 doors down for dinner which was also lovely (and very local good) Can't wait to return to see Ptt & Tatdoh again 😀😀

Went here to see the elephants quick. You can see them for free and feed them in the afternoon. There were only two elephants. I am not really a fan of zoos and paying for animal act or viewing. I hope they get treated right with love and care. And I hope also that they will be the last one to "work" like this and all elephants will be free and can play in the future.
