Hutsadin Elephant Foundation, Hua Hin

Amazing experience. Hearing the stories of how the elephants came to the sanctuary and how they were mistreated before hand was just heartbreaking. How they are treated now means they get to live out their lives happier. The people running the place are great! And we were even happier to find out that they are abolishing the riding of elephants there for good from October! No elephant wants a heavy human on their back, hurting them, crushing them and tearing their skin under the weight of the seat. Why would you want to do that? So, I would recommend this place and wish there were more places like it. As for the experience... Wow. How often do you get to walk, feed and shower an elephant?! Amazing. They're so gentle. They give you hugs and kisses and you can see the sheer love in their eyes. 800THB is definitely not too expensive for what it is, plus it's going towards helping them out! Love the elephants, don't bloody ride them.

Wonderful experience, were the elephants are looked after with care and consideration. The whole place is dedicated to their well being. Visit this place as all the other elephant places do not treat them as they should be treated.

It was nice waking with the elephants and talking with the staff that seem to take good care of the them. A bit expensive for the experience though. Hopefully they'll be able to afford a larger land soon and removed the elephants from their chains. Still good if you want to see elephants without seeing them suffering from people riding them.

Just the best time ever walking with the elephant and then hosing her down to cool her off. Photo opportunity and best trunk cuddles for all the family too. An emotional experience. These guys are doing a great job at this sanctuary. Please support them rather than the elephant shows and rides on offer throughout Thailand.

Very good for kids, can walk with the elephant and play with them. Educational theme! Lovely elephant
