This is ran-tong save and rescue…
This is ran-tong save and rescue elephant centre, not as described elsewhere by the site. The groups are of about 20 people on site split into morning, afternoon and all dayers. The elephants do get breaks between groups seem well cared for and site guide and local mahuts have loads of knowledge. However ethical elephant sanctuary est 2007 does not seem to exist and seems to be confusion on who they actually are ( 3rd party?). On first payment had confirmation for pickup between 7 and 7.30 for full day, but stated would provide travel details day before for full day visit of taxi/ car pick up. I was not contacted, and when i chased both on the day before and day of there was no response for multiple lines as even my hotel was trying to assist. I was lucky that my hotel advised that morning only groups are usually picked up between 7 to 7.30am, whilst day visits are usually picked up between 8 to 8.45 am as I genuinely thought this was a scam due to lack of contact from ethical elephants 2007. Whilst experience by ran-tong was good the contact provided by ethical elephants was poor and smoother information flow may be provided by others
