"My 12 year old son and I had a wonderful experience in Thailand. The guides were so wonderful! Knowledgeable, patient and never left our sides. We felt safe the entire time and absolutely loved our elephants experience. The temples were beautiful and my son loved floating in the river and playing in the waterfalls. The other families on the tour were great too. It made it nice to have others for my son to spend time with as we traveled to other locations by bus etc." - Janelle W.
