Elephants & Friends at Kanchanaburi - still operating?

We were in Kanchanaburi last week but couldn't find the park. Saw the signboard at the hotel NICHICO resort but the hotel reception didn't know anything. One of the tour agents at Kanchanaburi said they don't operate anymore. Anyone with info can let us know. Will be in Kanchanaburi again next month. Would like to stay again at the park.

There are elephants at the Mon Village at the River Kwai Jungle Raft Resort. take a cooling ride up the river in a long tail boat to get there.

Thanks. But we are looking for E&F. Stayed there last year and would like to see Boonmi the 71 yr old elephant which was so sweet and gentle. Would like to see how she was getting on.

I'll give E&F a call in the morning and try to get an update. Sadly Boonmi died, she was my favourite, Phot called and that was the last time I spoke to him. I heard that E&F had brought more land and were operating from both sites. I let you know.

No news, he must have changed his phone number as it wouldn't connect. I've asked around and no one knows. There aren't any ad boards or brochures around either - it's not looking very hopeful. If you want to drop me a email nearer the time of your visit, your welcome and I'll pass on any new info. helen@suan-nanachaat.com
