We have two girls who wanted to come to Thailand for a while. They wanted to work with Elephants, so we spent a full day at Elephants World; an amazing place that was founded by a veterinarian who dedicated the last 10 years helping elderly and injured elephants who were mistreated by humans. We joined the daily routine of over 40 elephants, helped with preparing food, fed the older ones and the adorable babies... and enjoyed joining them during their daily swim at the river. Meeting these giant creatures from up close helped us understand how beautiful and gentle smart and sensitive animal they are! 2500bht per person. They provide lockers and there is a shower you can use at the end of the day and a great lunch. But most importantly- staff here is just FANTASTIC!

We booked to go on the Elephant Heaven project tour organised through the Elephant Nature Park, and we are so glad that we did! The tour was extremely well run - the operators were friendly, knowledgeable, on-time, courteous and fun-loving. My family and I (me, my husband and two sons 9 and 7 yrs old) were picked up by minibus from our hotel in Chiang Mai. There was only one other family on our tour. We travelled for about 50 mins north of Chiang Mai. Once at our destination we were greeted by the people living on the property. We were instructed on how to prepare the sugarcane, pumpkin and bananas for the elephants. Once prepared we took this food around the back of the hut and were met by three beautiful ( and hungry) elephants- a 60 yr old, 25 yr old and a 4 year old baby-all female. We then walked with the elephants through the small area of jungle on the property and watched as the elephants knocked down small trees, drank water from the stream, and picked fruit with their trunks. Lunch was delicious and over lunch our guide was forthcoming in answering any questions that we had regarding the elephants. We then walked back down to the enclosure. The handlers sprayed water on the animals and encouraged us to come into the enclosure to rub mud on the elephants' hides. Then it was time for a swim and splash in the water. Then the handler got the elephant to suck some water up in it's trunk which (on his command) she then sprayed at our sons, much to their delight.

Somboon Legacy Foundation is a best reference for a Hands-off Santuary in Thailand. If you visit them you can learn a lot about elephants and live together the feed and bath routines. It is really amesing. And they have a very nice elephant interactive museum.

9. Mon Bridge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 355 reviews
It is the longest wooden bridge in Thailand and it was built for comfortable transportation of people living in Sangkhlaburi and Mon Villagers. Nowadays the bridge is closed for vehicles but you can still walk over the wooden bridge. The bridge is a popular place to see an unforgettable sunset or sunrise at the dam. You also can take a bath like the Mon kids.

This photogenic pedestrian bridge is the longest wooden bridge in Thailand. It connects Sangkhla Buri to the Mon Hilltribe Village. It is in use everyday and regularly maintained. We visited at New Year 2020, so there were many people giving food to Buddhist monks early morning on January 1st. It is really worth the trip to see it!
10. Khao Laem Lake

Reviewed By tzraik - Mableton, United States
Khao Laem Lake is a big lake behind Vajiralongkorn damm. After building the damm villages and their temples where flooded and the temple went partially or totally underwater. You can take a boat tour from Mon bridge, which is the longest wooden pedestrian bridge in Thailand. The boat would take you to the sites of underwater temples and to historic temples that are still on dry banks. It is a far away, few hours car drive from Bangkok to near Myanmar border beyond Kanchanaburi but worth visiting. Mon bridge in Sangkhla buri is fun to walk on at sunrise to look at the lake and the mist/fog on its surface.
