Testimonials from visitors and volunteers

My name is Robert Russell, my wife Elizabeth Singh-Brar and I took part in your "elephant education" three day excursion back on the 5-7 of May of this year. This trip was one of the highlights of our entire visit to southeast Asia. We had seen a very brief description of Elephant Nature Park and a quote from you in one of the magazines on the airplane to Bangkok. We wanted to go on an "elephant trek", but we wanted to go to a company that treated the elephants well and was concerned about conservation, so we decided to go with your tour package. Once we arrived in Chiang Mai, we had a very hard time finding you! The magazine article hadn't mentioned your company name or phone number, and the people at the tourist office in Chiang Mai didn't know what we were talking about. We finally accidentally stumbled on your ad in one of the local magazines we picked up at the tourist office. This tour was more money than we had planned on spending, but once we heard what was involved we decided that it was probably worth it.

It was amazing!

Our guide Wanchai was great! He was really informative, did his best to answer all of our questions, and was a terrific cook! We had some of our best meals on this trip. The experience of spending that much time with the elephants also really made an impression on the two of us. We were very happy to be supporting a company that cared so much about the welfare of Thailand's elephants. Another great thing about our trip was that we were accompanied by Dr. Prasit. He was also really helpful and informative- we learned more about the elephants than we ever thought we would. All around it was a wonderful experience that we're both happy we went on- our only regret is that we didn't get to visit your offices and meet you at the end of our trip to express our gratitude. We've told a lot of people about the elephant nature park and our visit- we wish you continued success and again our thanks for a truly great experience! Please say hello to Wanchai and Dr. Prasit!

Sincerely,

Robert Russell and Elizabeth Singh-Brar
