Review of Living Green Elephant Sanctuary near Bangkok and Pattaya, with ethical encounters, mountain views, lunch, transport tips, and value advice.

“This is a must do trip. The sanctuary is home to seven elephants, including little Charlie! You get to spend a lot of time with them, walking around the reserve, with your guide and those looking after them. We had a superb guide, LuLu, aka Sexy Man!!
