★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,541 reviews · 3 hours - 450 minutes · from $57

Review of Living Green Elephant Sanctuary from Bangkok, with ethical encounters, feeding, bathing, lunch, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“I highly recommend Living Green Elephant — not only because you get incredibly close to these amazing, intelligent, and gentle animals, but also because this center is doing important and meaningful work rescuing elephants. From the moment of booking, everything was perfectly organized. We immediately received detailed information via email and WhatsApp. We ordered a hotel pickup, and the driver arrived exactly on time. The park is about 2 hours outside Bangkok, but the journey is absolutely worth it. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed with cold water and a tasty lunch. Our instructor, Lulu, was wonderful — kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He explained the mission of the c...”

Phi Phi Islands Speedboat Day Trip from Phuket with Lunch

13.Phi Phi Islands Speedboat Day Trip from Phuket with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 842 reviews · 9 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $52

Review of Phuket’s Phi Phi speedboat day trip, with Maya Bay, snorkeling, lunch, hotel pickup, costs, crowds, and practical tips.

“The crew was nice and welcoming, but the speedboat was crowded and it was really bumpy, the boat is not comfortable at all, the 3 of us spend 2 days with back pain after the trip, one of the other tourist hurt his back pretty badly and have to leave the trip in the middle on a regular ferry to probably go to the hospital. Be aware that if you want to see the lagoon closer you will need to rent a longtail boat there with an extra cost, otherwise you will need to be waiting outside the bay on the boat for about 45min, be prepared”
