No, this place isn't in the "wild" and the "tents" are totally luxurious but it was still very remote and was on the edge of the rain forest where you could here the baboons calling there mates, the river ran through the middle of it and had beautiful surrounds. The staff were amazing! I was ill in the destination before... More

This place was certainly the highlight of our recent trip to Thailand. The guides were excellent, providing lots of interesting information and making our excursions really interesting. There was a great balance of activities and relax time and the evening activities made a great end to each day. We especially enjoyed the elephant experience, getting the feed these big creatures...

We stayed here for three days, two nights in January 2012. What can I say -- this please was absolutely perfect. We could not have been happier. The rooms are tents, yes, but they are very well appointed and because we were careful we never had a problem with bugs. The bathroom is large and clean and actually quite luxurious.... More

I booked the overnight trip & had a really wonderful time. The food was fantastic, loved the luxury tents, staff were friendly & helpful. I have just booked my parents to do the same trip when they visit Phuket next month. A must do!

My wife and I spent two incredible days and nights at Elephant Hills, what an awsome experience, feeding the elephants was the highlight. So close to these magnificent animals makes you sense how smart they really are, we were lucky enough to see the baby named Haha. There is so much more to do like, kayaking, jungle trek, swimming in... More

My boyfriend and I travelled to Elephant Hills from Krabi, it is a 2 hour journey, they pick you up from your hotel (and take you back at the end). On arrival we were shown to our tent, there are only 30 or so tents and the camp site is small and peaceful. The surrounding area is stunning and you... More

Quite literally, after a rather uncomfortably long journey, we collapsed in our queen size bed in the Elephant Hills tent. The smell and sounds of the tropical rain forest (less the unwanted insects or reptiles) ensured we had the most amazing rest I remember having in years. The nature setting is spectacular, facing the river and the two gigantic rocky... More

We included a 2 night/3 day stay at Elephant Hills at the beginning of our thailand holiday, looking for a bit of soft adventure, and some animal interaction! The hotel picked us up at Phuket airport, and drove us the 2 hours journey to the camp. The camp itself is very nicely located in what appears to be jungle and... More

We had already been on an elephant experience earlier in our holiday and very nearly cancelled this trip and boy what a mistake that would have been. On arrival we were a little apprehensive until we went through into the reception area and dining area quite modest surroundings but with some spectacular views and a so inviting little pool. We...

Firstly, I would like to respond to Cedric G's review of this great property. If he had done is homework before he left the UK, he would of found what jungles are like in Thailand. They have forests and rain forest and mangroves. The reason that they do not offer elephant rides anymore is that the owners, wanted people to... More
