Tawan Riverside

Amazing experience meeting elephants up close and getting to feed and interact with them. Beautiful location with a nice restaurant. I stayed in the bungalow with fan and it was very nice!

Exceptional Review for Tawan Riverside Elephant Resort Our stay at the Tawan Riverside Elephant Resort from December 24 to December 25 was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene riverside setting and the warm hospitality of the staff. The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the experience with the elephants. On Christmas Eve, we had the incredible opportunity to bathe and feed these gentle giants. The interaction was both humbling and exhilarating, and it was clear how well these elephants are cared for. Waking up on Christmas morning to feed them was an unforgettable moment—there’s something truly special about starting the day surrounded by such majestic creatures. The food at the resort was equally amazing. Every meal was a delight, featuring fresh, flavorful dishes that perfectly complemented the natural beauty of the setting. The care and attention to detail in every aspect of our stay made it a truly exceptional experience. If you’re looking for a unique and unforgettable getaway, the Tawan Riverside Elephant Resort is the place to go. We’ll cherish these memories forever and can’t wait to return!

If you love elephants this is the place to stay. You can walk with the elephants, feed them breakfast, bathe with them in the river, or just watch them interact. Stay in room 10. It is small and basic, but its the last one in the row and just outside the window there is a water pipe and hose that the mahouts use to cool the elephants regularly. You get a private viewing from your room. I had a constant smile on my face. It is truly a magical place

The whole place is superb with close interaction with the elephants, from feeding them to walking and bathing them. The staff tremendous. They offer Plenty of other options to do from day trips in the mountains to bamboo rafting down the river. The room was great with your own balcony and viewing space where, at a cost, the elephants will come and have breakfast with you, needed strong seats at the table for them though. The restaurant was superb for lunch and evening meals, right on the riverside and the food was beautiful. Breakfast was a little basic though. Walk up onto the road and a few local bars and eating places.

The staff was super friendly as rest of the Thai population. We had an amazing time with the elephants. The dinner was super delicious. We loved how they took care of the elephants too. They had a good place to walk around, were well fed and loved by their care takers.
