I really enjoyed my stay at Jack's place! I loved spending time with the two elephants, the food was great, accommodations were cozy, and the location of the home stay is right next to the river and is so beautiful. There is plenty of free time to spend as you choose, whether that's laying in a hammock with a book or swimming in the river and laying in the sun. Jack really cares about his two elephants and it shows in how well he takes care of them. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking to get out of the city, spend time in nature, and see some elephants.

Jack made us feel at home at this beautiful place in the jungle. He knows a lot about elephants in general and takes care of Khao and Pailine very well. He runs a homestay for visitors and has volunteers coming at the samen time. The food is very good, they separate spicy and non spicy :). There is a waterfall next to the homestay where you can swim. The main job is to bring food (corn, Sugar cane...) to the elephants, walk with them and watch them. In the afternoon, you are free to do what you want. Jack is a lovely and funny person. I would definately recommend this stay !

5 starts are not enough for Jack and his family! I feel so proud of them, it made me start off my journey in Thailand on the right foot. Jack is an incredible human being, absolutely generous, patient, sensitive and understanding about everything. Not only he was effortless in explaining us every detail of how the beautiful elephants live and need, but also tried his best to make every volunteer feel comfortable in each period of the day. These 7 days I spent on this project had a great impact on my personal development, which I am and will always be fully grateful for Jack and his peers ❤️

Wow. I've been here one day and I can tell you in full confidence, that this is one of the greatest experiences of my life. Jack is so kind and welcoming and always makes sure we're well fed. The rooms are great and private showers. You wake up and step out of your room onto a porch looking out o na waterfall. There's hammocks, a fire pit, kitchen, and everything you could need. It's beautiful, peaceful, quiet, and beautiful. The experiences with the elephants is amazing. You get to feed them and go into the water with them as well. I am so happy and 100% recommend this to everyone

I really enjoyed my 4 days stay in the homestay and with the elephants. Jack is a very good host and has taught us a lot about the elephant's behaviour and his mission to make them live in nature. I was nice to help out with the feeding, hiking and observe them. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to see the elephants in a ethical, natural, and peaceful environment.

This experience was such an amazing experience! Jack is super sweet and funny and took us around the area and to the national park/ villages on our off days. I had some stomach issues while I was there but he was super accommodating whenever I asked for it. Khao and Pailin are so cute and still playful since they're younger but the work was exactly what is stated. Super laid back and you have plenty of free time!

Volunteering at the shelter was my favourite experience! Jack is an amazing host, he's very accommodating, helpful and passionate about his elephants. Jack also try's to select people of similar age and gender to stay together, which made making friends easier!! Getting to spend so much time around the elephants in such an ethical and kind way is something i will never forget, they're so beautiful. The food was amazing too! Not only did we get three meals but we were also allowed any snacks from the kitchen too. Overall, my stay was a truely unique and once in a life opportunity.

My experience at the shelter was nothing short of amazing! Jack is such a kind and wonderful person, and the other girls who were there at the same time as me were equally amazing we had so much fun together. I honestly can't say enough good things about my time here. Khao and Pailin are such beautiful elephants, and it's clear how much care and love they receive. You can truly feel the passion the team has for their well-being. I couldn't recommend the shelter more highly!

I had the best first Worlpackers experience with Jack at the shelter. It is the safest, most peaceful place on earth. I had the best time. Jack and his family are so welcoming and I always felt at home. Khao and Pailin are the most beautiful elephants and I feel so lucky to get to know them and spend time with them. Will always be so grateful of this experience. Sending lots of love and gratitude❤️🙏🏻 Can't wait to be back!!

Jack is simply the best, and Pai Lin and Khao are the cutest elephants ever. Every interaction I had during my time with Jack was insightful, fun, hilarious, and just PRESENT. I fully recommend this for animal and nature lovers, for people interested in local cultures, and anyone who needs a getaway from city life.
